@@ -45,6 +45,8 @@ In terms of lifetime, UTxOs have a trimodal distribution:
4545
- About 65% of the UTxOs are active less than one day.
4646
- The remainder are active for multiple days, sometimes for months or years.

The left plot is on a square-root scale horizontally, so one can see how big the dynamic range of lifetimes is; it also includes the 3.0% of txs that are spent in the same block that they are created. The right plot is the same data on a logarithmic scale (omitting zero lifetime), so that one can see the multimodal structure above and below the one-day lifetime.
