When were today's active .eth names actually registered, and how does that differ from when names were ever registered?
Two views of registration timing per length bucket:
What this tells you: The 2022 NFT boom looks much smaller in the 'active today' view than the 'all-time' view - most of those registrations have since lapsed. The headline counts row reveals the survival rate per year × bucket.

Of names currently active in each length tier, what year were they originally registered? The pricing-debate-relevant view: tells you what the surviving population's history looks like.

How much of today's active supply was first registered in each year, stacked by length tier. Years where most cohorts have lapsed look smaller here than in the all-time view below.
Of every name ever first-registered on mainnet .eth (regardless of whether it's still alive), what year were they registered? Useful for understanding flow and boom periods.
| Length | Total | Year distribution | |

Total registrations per year, stacked by length tier. The 2022 NFT boom dominates this view.
Per (year × length bucket): how many names from that cohort are still active today vs how many were ever registered. Survival % = active ÷ ever.
