Network participants process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Cosmos Hub is an interoperability & security platform for blockchains and applications. Cosmos was founded by Ethan Buchman & Jae Kwon and launched in 2019.

ATOM holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Cosmos’s investors include Paradigm, IOSG Ventures, 1confirmation, etc.

# Cosmos Hub Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Daily Active Users (DAU) for Cosmos Hub measures the number of unique wallet addresses that submitted at least one transaction on the Cosmos Hub blockchain within a given day. This metric provides insights into daily user engagement and network activity levels. The calculation identifies unique transaction senders by parsing message events from the Cosmos Hub blockchain and counting distinct addresses per day.

## 2. Data sources

The metric uses the following raw data sources:
- **Cosmos Hub message events**: Blockchain events generated when users submit transactions to the Cosmos Hub network, containing event metadata and sender information
- **Transaction records**: Cosmos Hub transaction data including block timestamps, transaction hashes, and event attributes stored in JSON format

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: User address extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract unique user addresses from Cosmos Hub transaction events
- **Logic**: Filter blockchain message events to include only records where the `event_type` field equals `message`. Parse the JSON-formatted `event_attributes` field to extract the sender address using the `sender` key. Include transaction metadata such as `block_timestamp` and `transaction_hash` for each record. Classify all extracted addresses with the user type `Transaction sender` and assign business metadata including market sector `blockchains_l1` and business segment `blockchain`.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` for transaction identification, `user_address` containing the sender wallet address, `event_type` for filtering message events, and `event_attributes` JSON containing sender information

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Group user addresses by day and count unique addresses
- **Logic**: Truncate the `block_timestamp` field to daily granularity to create consistent daily boundaries. Apply distinct logic to count unique `user_address` values within each day, ensuring that addresses submitting multiple transactions are counted only once per day. Preserve metadata fields including chain identifier, user type classification, and business segment information.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to daily granularity, `user_address` for deduplication, `chain` identifier set to `cosmos`, `user_type` classification, and business metadata fields

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily aggregation component processes the extracted user addresses directly, with no additional combining of separate data sources required
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this user count metric
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are established by truncating block timestamps to the day level, ensuring consistent 24-hour periods aligned with UTC timezone
- **Final calculation**: The final DAU value represents the count of distinct user addresses that submitted at least one message transaction on the Cosmos Hub blockchain within each calendar day
