# Aventus Number of validators Methodology

## 1. Overview

The number of validators metric measures the count of active validators (collators) participating in the Aventus blockchain network on any given day. This metric provides insight into network decentralization and validator participation levels. The calculation involves counting distinct validator addresses from the Aventus parachain staking system and aggregating this data daily.

## 2. Data sources

- **Aventus validator registry**: Raw blockchain state data from Aventus network's parachain staking system, specifically from the `candidateInfo` structure that tracks active validators
- **Validator staking data**: Information about validator identities, stake amounts, and participation status extracted from blockchain state
- **Block timestamp data**: Blockchain timestamp information to enable daily aggregation of validator counts

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Raw validator data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract and process individual validator records from Aventus blockchain state
- **Logic**: Pull validator information from the Aventus parachain staking system, including `validator_id`, `validator_stake`, and `block_timestamp` fields. Convert stake amounts from wei units to standard units by dividing by 1e18. Truncate timestamps to daily boundaries to enable daily aggregation.
- **Key fields**: `validator_id` for unique validator identification, `validator_stake` for stake amounts, `block_timestamp` for temporal grouping

### Component B: Daily validator aggregation  
- **Purpose**: Count unique validators and calculate total stake per day
- **Logic**: Group validator records by daily timestamp boundaries. Count distinct `validator_id` values to determine the number of active validators (collators) per day. Also sum total validator stakes across all validators for the day.
- **Key fields**: `number_of_collators` as the count of unique validators, `total_validator_stake` as aggregate stake amount, `timestamp` for daily grouping

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Rename `number_of_collators` to `number_of_validators` for metric standardization across Token Terminal's framework
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this is a count metric
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries using timestamp truncation
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the count of distinct validator addresses active on each day, processed through the finalize metric framework with fill-forward strategy to handle any missing daily data points
