# Energy Web X Number of validators Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Energy Web Chain number of validators metric tracks the daily count of unique validators participating in the Energy Web Chain network. This metric provides insight into network decentralization and validator participation over time. The calculation identifies all unique validator addresses active at any point during each day and reports the most recent count for that day.

## 2. Data sources

- **Energy Web Chain validator records**: Raw validator data containing validator addresses and the block numbers at which they were active
- **Energy Web Chain block data**: Block records containing block numbers, timestamps, and other block metadata

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Validator aggregation
- **Purpose**: Count unique validators active at each timestamp on the Energy Web Chain
- **Logic**: Extract validator records containing validator addresses and their associated block numbers. Join this data with block records using the `block_number` field to obtain precise timestamps for when each validator was active. Group the data by `block_timestamp` and count the distinct validator addresses for each timestamp, creating a time series of validator participation
- **Key fields**: `address` (validator address), `block_number` (block reference), `block_timestamp` (when the validator was active)

### Component B: Daily aggregation and deduplication
- **Purpose**: Convert timestamp-level data to daily granularity and handle multiple records per day
- **Logic**: Truncate the `timestamp` field to daily boundaries using day-level truncation. When multiple validator counts exist for the same day, apply a window function to select only the most recent count. This ensures each day has exactly one validator count representing the latest state
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `number_of_validators` (count of unique validators)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily validator counts are passed through the standardization macro which applies consistent formatting, metadata fields, and data quality checks
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this count-based metric
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries with the most recent validator count selected for each day
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the count of distinct validator addresses that were active on the Energy Web Chain for each day, with metadata fields added for business segment classification and chain identification
