# Astar Staking Assets staked Methodology

## 1. Overview

Assets staked measures the total value of assets deposited and locked within Astar Staking. It represents the cumulative amount of the native asset committed to the dApp staking mechanism to support the ecosystem while earning rewards. This metric serves as a proxy for the project's capacity to generate revenue and reflects the total value under management within the Astar Staking product on Astar Substrate.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `Locked`, `Relock`, and `Unlocking` events from the `dappStaking` pallet, covering Astar Substrate
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for native assets

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Staking and unstaking movement extraction

- **Purpose**: Identify all inflows and outflows of assets within the staking system
- **Logic**: Staking events are parsed from the `dappStaking` pallet on Astar Substrate. Amounts from `Locked` and `Relock` events are extracted as positive values representing additions to the staked pool. Amounts from `Unlocking` events are extracted as negative values representing assets being withdrawn or scheduled for unstaking.
- **Key fields**: `event_method` (event identification), `event_data` (amount extraction)

### Component B: Daily balance aggregation and cumulative tracking

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total balance of staked assets over time
- **Logic**: All staking and unstaking movements are aggregated by day to determine the daily net change in staked assets. A running sum of these net changes is calculated across the entire history of the protocol to determine the total outstanding balance of assets staked at the end of each day.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (net daily change), `timestamp` (temporal alignment)

### Component C: Normalization and USD conversion

- **Purpose**: Convert asset quantities into a standardized USD value
- **Logic**: The cumulative staked balances are normalized by decimal precision to reflect the true asset quantity. These normalized amounts are multiplied by end-of-day price feeds for the native asset. Values are calculated with daily granularity using UTC day boundaries, and a fill-forward strategy is applied to ensure data continuity for days without new event activity.
- **Key fields**: `amount` (raw balance), `price_usd` (valuation)

Liquid staking

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

Astar is a collective driving web3 adoption by connecting people through blockchain technology, business innovation, decentralized applications, and seamless digital experiences in the Polkadot ecosystem. Astar was founded by Sota Watanabe and launched in 2021.

ASTR tokenholders own and govern the protocol. Part of the transaction fees is burned (revenue). Astar’s investors include Binance, Polychain Capital, Crypto.com, etc.
