A recent analysis reveals a shift in the DONUT holder landscape as Ethereum Mainnet sees a decline while Arbitrum experiences robust growth. As users engage in the community’s latest contest, they speculate wildly about future numbers amid a backdrop of fluctuating wallet addresses.
About six months ago, there were 5,855 addresses holding DONUT on Ethereum’s Mainnet and 1,487 on the Arbitrum Network. Fast forward to today, and those figures have dropped to 5,795 on Mainnet while Arbitrum has gained 127 holders, now at 1,614. This shift raises questions about the evolving dynamics of the token’s ecosystem as distribution strategies adapt.
The recent surge on the Arbitrum Network is particularly interesting, with the first transaction recorded on December 12, 2023, marking nearly 500 days of activity. Since then, the token has racked up a staggering 14,828 transactions according to Arbiscan. As the community gears up to celebrate this milestone in just a few days, anticipation is building regarding the potential impact on 2025's figures, especially with the DOUBT DAO in development.
"It’s exciting to see growth on Arbitrum, suggesting a shift in strategy that could benefit all," commented a participant in the discussion.

As participants eagerly submit their predictions for the contest, three main themes are becoming evident:
