**tim**: I feel like this is misleading, but I don't have all the data to back up my claim.

However, if you look around, you'll find that this article quotes active accounts on Ethereum mainnet, when that doesn't really make sense anymore as we have many people transacting on rollups today.

So I looked around and I found a Dune dashboard that shows that, for example, Base just had an ATH in active addresses for the Sept 9 week [1].
