# Algorand Active users (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active users (weekly) measures the number of unique addresses that make a revenue-generating transaction with the Algorand blockchain. This metric serves as a key indicator of network adoption and ecosystem health by identifying the distinct participants who initiate on-chain activity. Because every transaction on the Algorand network requires a transaction fee, every unique transaction sender is classified as a revenue-generating user within a 7-day rolling window.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction data from the Algorand network, covering Algorand
- **External data**: Asset metadata for address and transaction identification

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction sender identification

- **Purpose**: Identify unique participants initiating activity on the network
- **Logic**: The `sender` field is extracted from all transaction data recorded on the Algorand blockchain. Transactions are filtered to exclude any records where the sender address is null, ensuring that only valid network participants are included in the dataset.
- **Key fields**: `sender` (user identification), `block_timestamp` (timing)

### Component B: Weekly aggregation and deduplication

- **Purpose**: Calculate the unique count of active participants per 7-day window
- **Logic**: Transaction timestamps are truncated to the week level using UTC boundaries. Unique sender addresses are deduplicated within each 7-day rolling window to ensure that each address is counted only once per 7-day window, regardless of the number of transactions submitted. The resulting dataset provides a weekly time series of distinct active users (weekly).
