# Ajuna Substrate Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

Fees are measured as the total value paid by users to execute transactions on Ajuna Substrate. These fees include both the base transaction fee and any optional tips paid to block producers to prioritize transaction inclusion. The metric represents the total economic value generated by network activity and is converted from the native asset to USD for standardized reporting.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `TransactionFeePaid` events from Ajuna Substrate, covering the Ajuna chain
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for the native Ajuna asset

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Ajuna Substrate fee extraction

- **Purpose**: Capture the raw transaction fees and priority tips paid on the network
- **Logic**: `TransactionFeePaid` events are parsed from the Ajuna Substrate event logs. Only events associated with successful transactions are included. For each event, the base fee amount and the voluntary tip amount are extracted from the event data fields. These two components are summed to determine the total fee per transaction.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (base transaction fee), `tip` (optional priority fee)

### Component B: USD conversion and aggregation

- **Purpose**: Normalize fee values to USD and aggregate data to daily intervals
- **Logic**: Total transaction fees are normalized by decimal precision. Daily totals are calculated by summing all fees within UTC day boundaries. These daily totals are then multiplied by end-of-day price feeds for the native asset to calculate the final USD value. In instances where no data is present for a given day, values are zero-filled to ensure a continuous time series.
