# Ajuna Substrate Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second measures the average number of confirmed user transactions added to the blockchain each second. This metric reflects both the throughput and real-time usage of Ajuna Substrate. By normalizing transaction volume over a standardized time interval, the network's processing activity is made comparable across different periods and against other blockchain protocols.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Extrinsics recorded on Ajuna Substrate

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Daily transaction aggregation

- **Purpose**: To calculate the total volume of unique transactions confirmed on the network each day.
- **Logic**: Unique extrinsics are identified from the network's blocks using their respective unique identifiers. These extrinsics are then aggregated by day based on the block timestamp. A distinct count is performed to ensure each transaction is only counted once within the daily period.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` and `extrinsic_id`.

### Component B: Throughput normalization

- **Purpose**: To convert the daily transaction volume into a per-second average.
- **Logic**: The total count of confirmed transactions for a given day is divided by the total number of seconds in a day (86,400). This calculation produces the average transactions per second (TPS) for that specific date. Values are calculated with daily granularity using UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count`.
