# Active users (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active users (weekly) measures the number of unique addresses that perform revenue-generating transactions on BMX Classic. This metric captures user engagement across the protocol's core features, including spot swapping, perpetual position management, and liquidity provision through USDG minting and burning. It serves as a key indicator of the weekly demand for the BMX Classic decentralized exchange and its underlying liquidity pool.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `Swap`, `IncreasePosition`, `DecreasePosition`, `LiquidatePosition`, `BuyUSDG`, and `SellUSDG` events from `Vault` contracts, covering Base

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Spot trading activity tracking

- **Purpose**: Identifies unique users performing non-leveraged token swaps.
- **Logic**: `Swap` events are parsed from `Vault` contracts. Because the event itself identifies the pool address, the specific user address is retrieved by identifying the transaction signer from the associated blockchain transaction metadata.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash` (identification), `from_address` (user identification)

### Component B: Perpetual and liquidity management tracking

- **Purpose**: Identifies unique users managing leveraged positions or interacting with the USDG liquidity pool.
- **Logic**: `IncreasePosition`, `DecreasePosition`, `LiquidatePosition`, `BuyUSDG`, and `SellUSDG` events are parsed from `Vault` contracts. The user address is extracted directly from the account parameter within the event logs. This captures traders opening or closing positions, users being liquidated, and participants adding or removing liquidity from the protocol.
- **Key fields**: `in_account` (user identification), `block_timestamp` (timing)

### Component C: Weekly aggregation

- **Purpose**: Consolidates activity into a single weekly metric of unique participants.
- **Logic**: Addresses identified from spot trading, perpetual position management, and liquidity operations are combined into a single dataset. Unique addresses are counted per 7-day window. All calculations are performed using UTC 7-day window boundaries.
