# Flow EVM Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contracts deployed measures the number of unique smart contracts published onchain within the Flow EVM environment. This metric serves as a proxy for the volume of new infrastructure, developer activity, and applications launched on the network. Only successful contract deployments are included in the count.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Contract creation data derived from `CREATE` and `CREATE2` trace types, covering Flow EVM

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Flow EVM contract identification

- **Purpose**: To identify and filter unique smart contract deployments on Flow EVM.
- **Logic**: Contract addresses are extracted from system-level traces where the operation type corresponds to a new contract creation (specifically `CREATE` and `CREATE2`). Each deployment is associated with a specific deployer address, block timestamp, and unique contract bytecode. Duplicate entries for the same contract address are removed to ensure only unique deployments are counted.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` (timing), `contract_address` (unique identification), and `deployer_address` (provenance).

### Component B: Daily aggregation and zero-filling

- **Purpose**: To provide a standardized daily time series of deployment activity.
- **Logic**: Unique contract deployments are aggregated by truncating block timestamps to daily granularity (UTC). The total number of unique contracts is summed per day. A zero-filling strategy is applied to the time series to ensure that days with no deployment activity are represented as zero rather than missing values.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily grain) and `contracts_deployed` (total count).

Blockchains (L1)

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

Flow is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Flow was founded by Roham Gharegozlou, Dieter Shirley and Mikhael Naayem and launched in 2019.

FLOW holders own and govern the protocol. They currently don’t take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Flow’s investors include a16z, Coatue, Coinfund, Fabric Ventures, etc.
