Immutable operates a full-stack infrastructure platform for web3 gaming that includes blockchains, namely Immutable zkEVM and Immutable X, and other products, such as Passport and Orderbook. Creators & users sell NFTs on Immutable. They receive royalties from secondary sales (supply-side fees).

Immutable is a platform for building web3 games. Immutable was founded by James Ferguson, Robbie Ferguson, Alex Connolly, and launched in 2018. This dashboard includes data from Immutable Orderbook, Immutable zkEVM, and Immutable X.

IMX holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by NFT buyers on Immutable Orderbook and the total transaction fees paid by transaction senders on Immutable zkEVM (revenue). Immutable's investors include ParaFi Capital, GameStop Digital Ventures, Fabric Ventures, etc.

# Immutable Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

The contracts deployed metric measures the daily number of new smart contracts deployed on the Immutable blockchain ecosystem. This metric provides insight into developer activity and platform adoption by tracking contract creation events. The calculation aggregates all contract deployment transactions by day, counting each unique contract deployment once to provide a daily total of new contracts deployed on the network.

## 2. Data sources

- **Immutable zkEVM contract records**: Blockchain data containing all contract deployment events on Immutable zkEVM, including creation timestamps, contract addresses, deployer addresses, and transaction trace references
- **Block timestamp data**: Blockchain block timestamps used to determine when each contract deployment occurred for daily aggregation
- **Contract deployment traces**: Transaction trace data that provides additional context about contract creation events

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract and deduplicate all contract deployment events from Immutable zkEVM blockchain data
- **Logic**: Retrieve all contract creation records from Immutable zkEVM blockchain data, selecting the `creation_timestamp` (when the contract was deployed), `contract_address` (the newly created contract), `deployer_address` (the account that deployed the contract), and `creation_trace_address` (transaction trace reference). Apply DISTINCT clause to ensure each contract deployment is counted exactly once, preventing any duplicate records from affecting the final count.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` for timing, `contract_address` for identification, `deployer_address` for attribution, `creation_trace_address` for transaction tracing

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Count the number of contracts deployed each day on Immutable zkEVM
- **Logic**: Group contract creation events by day using timestamp truncation to day boundaries. For each day, count all contract deployments using COUNT(*) aggregation. Assign metadata classifications including `chain_id` as 'Immutable zkEVM', `market_sector_id` as 'blockchains_l2', `business_segment_id` as 'blockchain', and `product_id` as 'Immutable zkEVM'. Set `timestamp_grain` to 'day' to indicate daily aggregation level.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily boundary), `contracts_deployed` (daily count), metadata fields for classification

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Union daily contract deployment counts from all Immutable blockchain networks (currently only Immutable zkEVM) to create a comprehensive view across the entire Immutable ecosystem
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this is a count metric without currency values
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are established using timestamp truncation to day level, ensuring consistent daily reporting periods
- **Final calculation**: Apply finalization logic with 'fill_zeros' strategy to ensure missing days are represented with zero contract deployments rather than null values. Filter results using chain availability logic to include only data from operational blockchain networks. The final metric represents the total number of unique smart contracts deployed per day across the Immutable blockchain ecosystem.
