# Flow EVM Transaction participants (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transaction participants (weekly) measures the number of unique addresses that participate in transactions on Flow EVM within a rolling 7-day window. This metric identifies the active user base by tracking the distinct originators of transaction activity on the EVM-compatible layer of the Flow network. It serves as a key indicator of network engagement, adoption, and the growth of the decentralized application ecosystem on Flow EVM.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transactions from Flow EVM

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Participant identification

- **Purpose**: Extract the unique addresses responsible for initiating activity on the network.
- **Logic**: Transaction records are parsed from Flow EVM. The `from_address` field is extracted from every transaction to identify the primary participant. This process ensures that every interaction originating from a unique address is captured for the specific day the transaction occurred.
- **Key fields**: `from_address` (participant identification), `block_timestamp` (timing)

### Component B: Rolling weekly aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the unique active user base over a standardized 7-day period.
- **Logic**: Unique addresses are first identified on a daily basis. A rolling 7-day window is then constructed for every date in the time series. The daily sets of unique addresses within each window are aggregated, and a final count of unique participants is performed. This ensures that an address is counted only once per 7-day period, regardless of the number of transactions performed or the number of days they were active within that week.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_participants_daily` (daily unique addresses), `timestamp` (daily boundaries)

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.
