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

Gnosis Chain is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Gnosis was founded by Martin Köppelmann and Stefan George and launched in 2015.

GNO holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue).

# Gnosis Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

The contracts deployed metric measures the daily number of smart contracts deployed on the Gnosis blockchain. This metric provides insight into developer activity and network adoption by tracking new contract creations. The calculation aggregates contract deployment events by day, counting each unique contract creation as one deployed contract.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation uses the following data sources:
- **Contract creation records**: Parsed contract deployment data from Gnosis blockchain transaction traces, including creation timestamps, contract addresses, deployer addresses, and trace addresses
- **Block timestamp data**: Gnosis blockchain block timestamps for temporal aggregation to daily boundaries
- **Transaction traces**: Gnosis blockchain transaction execution traces that identify contract creation operations

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction
- **Purpose**: Identifies and extracts all contract creation events from Gnosis blockchain
- **Logic**: Selects distinct contract creation records from parsed Gnosis blockchain data, ensuring no duplicate contract deployments are counted. Each record includes the creation timestamp (`block_timestamp`), deployed contract address (`account_address`), address of the deploying account (`deployer_address`), and the trace address identifying the specific transaction trace that created the contract (`creation_trace_address`)
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `account_address` for the deployed contract, `deployer_address` for the creator, and `creation_trace_address` for transaction reference

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Groups contract creations by day and applies standardized metric formatting
- **Logic**: Truncates creation timestamps to day boundaries using timestamp truncation, then groups all contract creations within each day. Counts the total number of contract deployments per day using COUNT aggregation. Applies metadata labeling including chain identifier as 'gnosis', market sector as 'blockchains_l1', and business segment as 'blockchain'
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to day grain, `contracts_deployed` as the daily count, and various metadata fields for classification

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily contract counts are processed through the finalization macro which standardizes the metric format and applies zero-filling for any missing days in the time series
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this is a count metric
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries, with each day representing a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the total count of unique smart contracts deployed on the Gnosis blockchain within each daily period, with zero values filled for days with no contract deployments
