# Katana Chain Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second is defined as the average number of confirmed user transactions added to Katana Chain each second. Both network throughput and real-time usage are reflected by this metric. A standardized view of activity levels is provided by normalizing transaction volume over time.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: confirmed transactions on Katana Chain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Katana Chain transaction identification

- **Purpose**: Identify unique transactions on the network
- **Logic**: Confirmed transactions are parsed from Katana Chain. Unique transaction hashes are extracted to ensure each operation is counted only once.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash`, `block_timestamp`

### Component B: Daily volume aggregation

- **Purpose**: Aggregate transactions into daily totals
- **Logic**: Transactions are grouped by block timestamps into UTC-based daily intervals. The total count of distinct transaction hashes is calculated for each day.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count`

### Component C: Throughput normalization

- **Purpose**: Calculate the average number of transactions per second
- **Logic**: The total daily transaction count is divided by the number of seconds in a day. The average throughput for the network over the 24-hour period is determined by this calculation.
- **Key fields**: `transactions_per_second`

The network uses pessimistic proofs via the AgglayerGateway for settlement on Ethereum, with vault bridges for cross-chain asset transfers.

Katana Network provides a scalable execution environment connected to Ethereum through the Agglayer interoperability layer.
