# Injective Cosmos Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contracts deployed measures the number of unique smart contracts published on Injective Cosmos. This metric serves as a proxy for the amount of new infrastructure or applications that are launched on the blockchain. High deployment activity is typically indicative of an expanding developer ecosystem and the introduction of new protocols to the network.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Contract creation records from Injective Cosmos

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Injective Cosmos contract creation extraction

- **Purpose**: Identify the initialization of new smart contracts on the blockchain
- **Logic**: Records for unique smart contract creations are retrieved from Injective Cosmos. For each record, the `creation_timestamp`, `contract_address`, and `deployer_address` are identified to ensure each deployment is uniquely represented.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp`, `contract_address`, and `deployer_address`

### Component B: Daily aggregation and unique counting

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total volume of deployments per day
- **Logic**: The number of unique contract addresses is aggregated by day. Each contract is counted a single time based on its truncated `block_timestamp` to determine the total count of new infrastructure instances launched during each UTC day.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` and `account_address`

### Component C: Data normalization and zero-filling

- **Purpose**: Ensure data continuity and standardized reporting across the time series
- **Logic**: Timestamps are truncated to UTC midnight. To provide a continuous historical record, any days without recorded deployment activity are filled with zero values. The final dataset is filtered to include only validated identifiers for Injective Cosmos.

Blockchains (L1)

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

Injective is a smart contract platform for decentralized finance applications (a blockchain) and an orderbook exchange protocol. Injective was founded by Eric Chen, Albert Chon etc. and launched in 2020. Note that this dashboard only tracks Injective's blockchain business.

INJ holders own and govern the protocol. They currently take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue) via Burn Auctions. Injective's investors include Binance, Jump Crypto, Mark Cuban, etc.
