# Energy Web X Transaction count Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Energy Web transaction count metric measures the daily number of unique transactions (extrinsics) executed on the Energy Web Chain blockchain. This metric provides insights into network activity and adoption by counting distinct signed operations submitted to the blockchain each day. The calculation aggregates raw blockchain extrinsic data to daily granularity, ensuring accurate counts while handling data quality and completeness requirements.

## 2. Data sources

- **Energy Web blockchain extrinsic records**: Raw transaction data from the Energy Web Chain, a Substrate-based blockchain where extrinsics represent signed operations equivalent to transactions on other blockchain networks
- **Blockchain state data**: Block timestamps and transaction metadata from Energy Web Chain nodes
- **Chain availability metadata**: Information about data completeness and chain operational status for quality assurance

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Raw transaction data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts and standardizes raw extrinsic data from Energy Web Chain
- **Logic**: Retrieves extrinsic records from Energy Web blockchain data, focusing on block timestamps and unique extrinsic identifiers. Applies safe casting to ensure proper data types for timestamp and identifier fields. Adds chain identifier metadata to classify the data source as Energy Web Chain.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing information, `extrinsic_id` for unique transaction identification, `chain_id` set to 'energyweb' for chain classification

### Component B: Daily aggregation logic
- **Purpose**: Groups transactions by day and counts unique occurrences
- **Logic**: Truncates block timestamps to daily boundaries to create consistent time periods. Groups all extrinsic records by the truncated daily timestamp. Counts distinct extrinsic identifiers within each day to ensure accurate transaction counts without double-counting. Adds metadata fields including timestamp grain set to 'day', market sector classification as 'blockchains_l2', and business segment as 'blockchain'. Sets product identifier to null as this is a chain-level metric rather than product-specific.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to daily granularity, `transaction_count` as distinct count of `extrinsic_id`, classification metadata fields

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The raw data extraction flows directly into the daily aggregation logic within a single processing pipeline
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are enforced through timestamp truncation, ensuring consistent 24-hour periods aligned to UTC day boundaries
- **Data quality processing**: Applies the `finalize_metric_transaction_count` macro to validate schema consistency, ensure proper data types, and fill any missing days with zero transaction counts using a 'fill_zeros' strategy
- **Incremental processing**: For efficiency, subsequent runs only process recent data based on incremental lookback logic, focusing on days since the last successful partition plus a configurable lookback period
- **Chain availability filtering**: Applies final quality checks to ensure data completeness and exclude periods where chain data may be incomplete or unavailable
- **Final calculation**: The final transaction count represents the number of distinct extrinsics processed on Energy Web Chain for each calendar day, providing a clean measure of daily blockchain activity
