# Flow EVM Average transaction fee Methodology

## 1. Overview

Average transaction fee measures the average fee users pay per transaction on Flow EVM. It reflects how much it typically costs to use the network and is a key indicator of network affordability and economic throughput. This metric is calculated by dividing the total gas fees collected by the total number of transactions processed on the network within a given period.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction-level gas data, including gas used and gas prices from Flow EVM
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for the native Flow asset

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Flow EVM gas fee extraction

- **Purpose**: To calculate the total fees paid in the native asset for transactions on Flow EVM.
- **Logic**: Transaction-level data is parsed to extract the gas used and the gas price for every transaction. The total fee for each transaction is determined by multiplying the gas used by the gas price. These values are then normalized by decimal precision.
- **Key fields**: `gas_used`, `gas_price`

### Component B: Flow EVM transaction count calculation

- **Purpose**: To determine the total volume of transactions against which fees are averaged.
- **Logic**: Every unique transaction hash on Flow EVM is identified and aggregated. The total daily transaction count is calculated by summing these unique identifiers within UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash`

### Component C: USD conversion and average calculation

- **Purpose**: To normalize the average fee into a standard currency for comparative analysis.
- **Logic**: Total daily fees are converted to USD by applying end-of-day price feeds for the native asset. The average transaction fee is then derived by dividing the total daily fees in USD by the total daily transaction count. This final value represents the mean cost of a transaction for that specific day.

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.
