# Flow EVM Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The total value paid by users to execute transactions on Flow EVM is measured by Fees. Economic value generated through transaction execution and smart contract interactions is captured to provide insight into network demand. All transaction costs are denominated in the native Flow asset and are converted to USD to enable cross-project comparison.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction data from Flow EVM
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds and asset metadata

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Flow EVM transaction fee extraction

- **Purpose**: Captures the native gas fees paid by users for transaction execution on Flow EVM.
- **Logic**: Transaction data is parsed from Flow EVM to identify gas consumption and pricing. Fees are calculated for each transaction by multiplying `gas_used` by `gas_price`. These values represent the gross cost paid by the transaction sender to the network.
- **Key fields**: `gas_used`, `gas_price`, and `block_timestamp`

### Component B: USD conversion and aggregation

- **Purpose**: Normalizes fees into a standard currency and time grain for analysis.
- **Logic**: Daily transaction fees are aggregated and normalized by decimal precision. Native asset values are converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds for the Flow asset. All data is aggregated at a daily granularity with UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `gas_fee`, `token_address`, and `timestamp`

Total value users pay to use a protocol (gross fees, user-paid fees).

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.
