# Berachain Contract deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Berachain contract deployers metric measures the number of unique addresses that deployed smart contracts on the Berachain blockchain each day. This metric provides insight into developer activity and network adoption by tracking how many distinct entities are creating new smart contracts daily. The calculation uses a simple distinct count approach, aggregating contract deployment events by day and counting unique deployer addresses.

## 2. Data sources

The metric relies on the following raw data sources:
- **Berachain contract creation events**: Parsed contract deployment transactions from the Berachain blockchain containing deployer addresses, contract addresses, creation timestamps, and contract bytecode
- **Berachain transaction traces**: Transaction execution traces that capture contract creation operations and their associated metadata
- **Berachain block data**: Block timestamp information used for daily temporal aggregation

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts and prepares raw contract creation events from Berachain
- **Logic**: Retrieves all contract deployment events from Berachain blockchain data, including the creation timestamp, contract address, deployer address, creation trace address, contract bytecode, and creator address. The data is deduplicated to ensure each contract creation is counted only once.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` (when the contract was deployed), `deployer_address` (the address that deployed the contract), `contract_address` (the newly created contract address), `creation_trace_address`, `contract_bytecode`, and `creator_address`

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Groups contract creations by day and counts unique deployers
- **Logic**: Truncates the creation timestamps to daily boundaries using day-level time truncation. Groups all contract creation events by day and counts the number of distinct deployer addresses within each day. This produces a daily time series of unique contract deployer counts.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `contract_deployers` (count of distinct deployer addresses per day)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily deployer counts are processed through the finalization macro which standardizes the metric format and applies data quality rules
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this count-based metric
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries with each day representing a 24-hour period in UTC
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the count of distinct deployer addresses that created at least one smart contract on each given day. Missing days are filled with zero values to maintain a complete daily time series. Chain availability filtering ensures only data from periods when Berachain was fully operational is included in the final output.
