# Arc Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

The average number of confirmed user transactions added to the blockchain each second is measured by Transactions per second. Both the network’s throughput and real-time usage are reflected by this metric. For Arc, operational activity and capacity utilization are represented by this measurement. Every transaction submitted to the network, whether successful or reverted, is counted to evaluate the overall throughput.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction records containing transaction hashes and block timestamps are extracted from the Arc network, covering Arc

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Arc transaction ingestion

- **Purpose**: Extract individual transaction records from the Arc network
- **Logic**: Transaction records are ingested from the Arc network. For each transaction, the unique transaction hash and block timestamp are extracted. All transactions, including both successful and reverted executions, are retained for downstream aggregation.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash`, `block_timestamp`

### Component B: Arc daily transaction count aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total number of transactions processed per day
- **Logic**: Transactions are truncated to a daily grain based on the block timestamp. The total daily transaction volume is calculated by counting the distinct transaction hashes for each day. Missing days in the time series are filled with zero values to ensure continuity.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash`, `block_timestamp`

### Component C: Arc transactions per second calculation

- **Purpose**: Convert the daily transaction count into an average per-second rate
- **Logic**: The daily transaction count is divided by the total number of seconds in a day to determine the average transactions per second. The resulting values are finalized and validated against active chain identifiers.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count`
