Gravity Alpha batches users' transactions and submits them to Ethereum, paying a share of the transaction fees to Ethereum validators (expense).

Gravity Alpha is an L2 smart contract platform for decentralized applications on Ethereum. Gravity Alpha was founded by Galxe and launched in 2024.

G tokenholders own and govern the protocol. Galxe's investors include Arbitrum Foundation, Multicoin Capital, Dragonfly Capital, etc.

# Gravity Alpha Mainnet Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

The contracts deployed metric measures the daily count of new smart contracts deployed on the GravityAlpha L2 blockchain. This metric tracks blockchain network growth and developer activity by counting unique contract creation events each day. The calculation aggregates raw contract deployment data into daily totals, providing insight into development momentum and network adoption.

## 2. Data sources

- **GravityAlpha blockchain transaction traces**: Raw transaction execution traces that capture contract creation operations on the GravityAlpha L2 network
- **Contract creation events**: Blockchain events generated when new smart contracts are successfully deployed, including deployment timestamps and addresses
- **Block timestamp data**: GravityAlpha block-level timing information used for daily aggregation boundaries

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction
- **Purpose**: Identifies and extracts all unique contract deployment events from raw blockchain data
- **Logic**: Extracts distinct contract creation records from GravityAlpha blockchain transaction traces. The system identifies contract deployments by analyzing transaction traces that result in new contract addresses being created. Each record includes the `creation_timestamp` indicating when the contract was deployed, the `contract_address` of the newly created contract, the `deployer_address` of the account that initiated the deployment, and the `creation_trace_address` showing the specific location within the transaction where the creation occurred. Deduplication using distinct selection ensures that each contract creation is counted only once, even if it appears in multiple trace records.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` for timing, `contract_address` for identification, `deployer_address` for attribution, `creation_trace_address` for trace location

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Groups contract creations by day and counts the total deployments per day
- **Logic**: Truncates the `creation_timestamp` to daily boundaries using day-level timestamp truncation. Groups all contract creation records by the truncated date and counts the number of unique contracts deployed each day using count aggregation. Adds standard metric metadata including chain identifier as 'gravityalpha', market sector classification as 'blockchains_l2' for Layer 2 networks, and business segment as 'blockchain'. Sets product identifier to null as this is a chain-level metric rather than product-specific.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to day grain, `contracts_deployed` as the daily count, metadata fields for classification

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily aggregation directly feeds into the final metric without additional combining steps
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this is a count-based metric that doesn't involve monetary values
- **Time aggregation**: Uses day-level timestamp boundaries with consistent daily grain across the entire time series
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the count of unique contracts deployed per day, processed through the finalize metric macro with zero-fill strategy to ensure continuous daily time series. Days without any contract deployments are filled with zero values. Chain availability filtering ensures only data within the reliable availability window is included in the final output.
