# Injective Cosmos Average transaction fee Methodology

## 1. Overview

Average transaction fee for Injective Cosmos measures the typical cost paid by users for a single transaction on the network. This metric provides insight into the cost-efficiency of the Cosmos-based infrastructure and the economic throughput of the blockchain. It serves as a key indicator for institutional investors to assess the accessibility and usage costs of the Injective Cosmos ecosystem. All fee values are converted to USD to facilitate cross-asset comparison and historical analysis.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction records from Injective Cosmos
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for the native INJ asset

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Injective Cosmos fee parsing

- **Purpose**: Extract and normalize raw fee data from the blockchain.
- **Logic**: Fee metadata is extracted from transaction records. Numerical values are isolated from string-based fee descriptions using regular expression patterns to separate the amount from the unit. These raw values are then normalized by decimal precision to reflect the true quantity of the native asset paid.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_fee` (raw fee string), `block_timestamp` (timing).

### Component B: Injective Cosmos transaction aggregation

- **Purpose**: Determine the total volume of activity on the network.
- **Logic**: The total transaction count is calculated by aggregating the number of distinct transaction hashes recorded on Injective Cosmos within a 24-hour UTC window. This count includes all successful transactions processed by the network.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash` (unique transaction identifier).

### Component C: Average calculation and USD normalization

- **Purpose**: Generate the final metric in a standardized currency format.
- **Logic**: Total daily fees are multiplied by end-of-day price feeds for the native asset to determine the total fee volume in USD. The average transaction fee is then calculated by dividing the total daily fee volume by the total daily transaction count. This result is aggregated at a daily granularity with UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `fees` (total daily fees in USD), `transaction_count` (total daily transactions).
