# Aethir Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Aethir fees metric measures the total service fees collected by the Aethir protocol on a daily basis. Aethir operates a decentralized GPU cloud infrastructure where users pay service fees when depositing funds to access compute resources. This metric captures the protocol's fee revenue from users utilizing Aethir's infrastructure services, providing insight into protocol adoption and revenue generation.

The calculation aggregates daily service fees from deposit transactions on Aethir's core contract, converts amounts to USD using end-of-day price feeds, and ensures consistent time series data with gap filling.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Parsed `DepositServiceFee` events from Aethir's core contract on Arbitrum blockchain
- **Transaction data**: Arbitrum transaction records containing event logs from Aethir protocol interactions
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for Aethir token USD conversion and token metadata for decimal formatting
- **Contract addresses**: Aethir core contract at `0xc87b37a581ec3257b734886d9d3a581f5a9d056c` on Arbitrum

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Raw fee event extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts service fee events from Aethir's core contract on Arbitrum
- **Logic**: Filters for `DepositServiceFee` events emitted by Aethir's core contract when users deposit funds to access infrastructure services. Each event captures the fee amount charged for the service deposit along with transaction metadata including timestamp, transaction hash, and log index for unique identification
- **Key fields**: `amount` (fee amount from the event), `block_timestamp` (when the fee was collected), `transaction_hash` and `log_index` (for event identification), `address` (account paying the fee)

### Component B: Daily aggregation and standardization
- **Purpose**: Aggregates fee data to daily boundaries and standardizes business classifications
- **Logic**: Truncates event timestamps to daily boundaries using day-level precision. Applies consistent business classification labeling the fees as Infrastructure business line and infrastructure market sector. Associates fees with the Aethir token address and version tracking
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily truncated), `chain_id` (Arbitrum), `product_id` (aethir), `token_address` (Aethir token), `fees` (aggregated daily amounts)

### Component C: USD conversion and decimal correction
- **Purpose**: Converts fee amounts to USD and applies proper decimal formatting
- **Logic**: Uses end-of-day price feeds to convert Aethir token amounts to USD values. Applies decimal correction to ensure amounts are properly formatted according to the token's decimal configuration. This standardizes all fee amounts to USD for consistent reporting
- **Key fields**: `fees` (USD-converted amounts), `timestamp` (preserved daily boundaries), all other dimensional fields maintained

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The standardized USD fee amounts are processed through the finalize metric macro which validates data quality and ensures consistent time series structure
- **Currency conversion**: All amounts converted to USD using end-of-day Aethir token prices with proper decimal adjustment
- **Time aggregation**: Daily summation of all service fees collected within each 24-hour period, with timestamp boundaries set to day precision
- **Final calculation**: The final metric represents the total USD value of service fees collected by Aethir protocol each day, with missing dates filled with zero values to maintain complete time series and chain availability filtering applied to ensure data consistency
