# Aventus Staking market cap Methodology

## 1. Overview

Staking market cap represents the total USD value of tokens staked by validators on the Aventus network. This metric measures the economic security and capital commitment of the network's validator set. The calculation aggregates all individual validator stakes across the Aventus parachain and converts the total to USD using market prices.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on these underlying data sources:
- **Aventus parachain staking data**: Validator stake information from the parachain staking mechanism, specifically from `parachainStaking.candidateInfo` containing validator IDs and their staked token amounts
- **End-of-day price feeds**: CoinGecko price data for the AVT (Aventus) token to enable USD conversion
- **Aventus blockchain data**: Block timestamps and transaction data to establish daily time boundaries for metric aggregation

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Validator stake aggregation
- **Purpose**: Extracts and aggregates individual validator stakes into daily totals
- **Logic**: Queries Aventus parachain staking data to retrieve all active validators and their stake amounts. Block timestamps are truncated to daily boundaries to establish consistent time periods. Individual validator stakes are converted from wei units to native AVT tokens by dividing by 1e18. The data is then grouped by date, and validator stakes are summed to produce the total daily staked amount across all validators on the network.
- **Key fields**: `validator_id` identifies each validator, `validator_stake` contains the staked token amount, `timestamp` provides the daily time boundary

### Component B: USD conversion
- **Purpose**: Converts native AVT token amounts to USD values using market prices
- **Logic**: Takes the aggregated daily staking totals and applies USD conversion using CoinGecko price feeds for the AVT token. The conversion uses end-of-day pricing to match the daily timestamp grain of the staking data. This ensures consistent valuation methodology across all time periods.
- **Key fields**: `staking_market_cap` contains the USD-converted staking value, `timestamp` maintains daily granularity

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The validator stake aggregation and USD conversion are processed sequentially, with the staking totals feeding directly into the currency conversion step
- **Currency conversion**: Native AVT token amounts are multiplied by CoinGecko end-of-day prices to produce USD values, maintaining precision for large staking amounts
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are established by truncating block timestamps, ensuring consistent 24-hour periods for metric calculation
- **Final calculation**: The metric represents the sum of all validator stakes converted to USD, providing the total market value of staked tokens securing the Aventus network. Missing data points are forward-filled to ensure continuous time series data for analysis.
