# Hyperbridge App Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the value of native assets distributed from the Hyperbridge treasury to supply-side users, core contributors, and other stakeholders. These distributions represent the protocol's cost of compensating participants through native asset issuance, functioning similarly to stock-based compensation in traditional finance. This metric specifically captures outbound transfers from the Hyperbridge treasury address to incentivize ecosystem growth and secure the network.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `Transfer` events from the `balances` pallet on Hyperbridge Substrate
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for the native asset

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Treasury transfer identification

- **Purpose**: Capture the raw quantity of native assets distributed as incentives from the protocol treasury.
- **Logic**: `Transfer` events are parsed from the `balances` pallet on Hyperbridge Substrate. Transactions are filtered to isolate outbound transfers where the sender address matches the designated Hyperbridge treasury. Transfers originating from known founder addresses are excluded from the calculation to ensure the metric reflects protocol-level incentives rather than individual contributor activity.
- **Key fields**: `from_address`, `to_address`, and `amount`.

### Component B: Normalization and USD conversion

- **Purpose**: Convert native asset quantities into a standardized USD valuation for reporting.
- **Logic**: Transfer amounts are normalized by decimal precision. These normalized values are multiplied by end-of-day price feeds for the native asset. Data is aggregated to a daily granularity using UTC day boundaries. Any days with missing activity are filled with zero values to ensure a continuous time series.
