Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Algorand is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Algorand was founded by Silvio Micali and launched in 2018.

ALGO holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Algorand's investors include Union Square Ventures, Multicoin Capital, Pillar, etc.

# Algorand Active addresses (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active addresses (weekly) measures the number of unique addresses that make a transaction with the Algorand blockchain. This metric serves as a primary indicator of network adoption, user engagement, and ecosystem health. Weekly active addresses are measured over a 7-day rolling window using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transactions occurring on the Algorand blockchain, covering Algorand

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction sender identification

- **Purpose**: Identify the unique entities initiating activity on the network
- **Logic**: Data is extracted from the core transaction records of the blockchain. The `sender` field of every transaction is parsed to identify the initiating address. Records containing null values for the sender are filtered out to ensure only valid participant activity is included.
- **Key fields**: `sender` (identifying the user address), `block_timestamp` (recording the timing of activity)

### Component B: Weekly aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the unique count of active participants for each 7-day window
- **Logic**: User addresses are truncated to a weekly granularity based on the block timestamp. For each 7-day window, the set of sender addresses is deduplicated to ensure each unique address is counted only once, regardless of the number of transactions sent. The resulting weekly totals are aggregated, and a zero-filling strategy is applied to maintain data continuity for any weeks where no transaction activity is recorded.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to weekly), `user_address` (unique identifier)
