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

# Gravity Alpha Mainnet Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Daily Active Users (DAU) for GravityAlpha measures the number of unique addresses that initiate transactions on the GravityAlpha blockchain each day. This metric answers the business question "How many unique users are actively transacting on GravityAlpha daily?" and is calculated by counting distinct transaction sender addresses per day from all GravityAlpha blockchain activity.

## 2. Data sources

- **GravityAlpha blockchain transactions**: Complete transaction records from the GravityAlpha blockchain including sender addresses, recipient addresses, timestamps, and gas usage data
- **Token metadata**: Fixed metadata for the G token with contract address `0xbb859e225ac8fb6be1c7e38d87b767e95fef0ebd` and symbol `G`
- **Chain availability data**: Data quality filters to ensure reliable metric calculation

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract all GravityAlpha transaction records with sender information
- **Logic**: Retrieve all transaction records from GravityAlpha blockchain data including block timestamps, transaction hashes, sender addresses (`from_address`), recipient addresses (`to_address`), gas prices, and gas usage amounts. Apply incremental processing to handle only new transactions since the last update, with a configurable lookback period to ensure data completeness. Each transaction is tagged with the hardcoded G token address and classified under the GravityAlpha chain.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `from_address` for user identification, `transaction_hash` for uniqueness, gas-related fields (`receipt_effective_gas_price`, `receipt_gas_used`) for fee calculations

### Component B: Daily user aggregation
- **Purpose**: Count unique active users per day based on transaction activity
- **Logic**: Transform block timestamps to daily boundaries using day-level truncation. Identify unique transaction senders by grouping distinct `from_address` values within each day. Classify each sender as a 'Transaction sender' user type. Assign metadata including chain identification as 'gravityalpha', market sector as 'blockchains_l2', business segment as 'blockchain', and null product categorization.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily truncated), `user_dau` (unique sender address), `user_type` (Transaction sender), `chain` (gravityalpha)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The transaction data directly feeds into the daily aggregation without additional joins, as all necessary information exists within the transaction records
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion required as this is a count-based metric measuring user activity
- **Time aggregation**: Block timestamps are truncated to day granularity using day-level boundaries, ensuring consistent daily reporting periods
- **Final calculation**: The final DAU value represents the count of distinct sender addresses that initiated at least one transaction on GravityAlpha within each calendar day, with chain availability filtering applied to ensure data quality and completeness
