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.

Katana Network is a Layer 2 blockchain built on the Agglayer ecosystem.

# Katana Network Contract deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contract deployers measures the number of unique addresses that have deployed at least one smart contract on Katana Chain. It is utilized as a proxy for the number of independent developers or entities that actively publish code onchain. Insight into the growth and activity of the developer ecosystem within the Katana Network is provided by this metric.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Contract creation data from Katana Network, covering Katana Network

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation tracking

- **Purpose**: Capture all smart contract deployment activity on the network
- **Logic**: Contract creation data is retrieved from the Katana Network ledger. Successful deployments are identified by extracting the contract address, the deployer address, and the creation timestamp from the onchain records.
- **Key fields**: `deployer_address` (entity identification), `contract_address` (deployment identification), `creation_timestamp` (timing)

### Component B: Unique deployer aggregation

- **Purpose**: Count the number of distinct entities deploying code
- **Logic**: The unique number of deployer addresses is calculated for each daily period. The distinct entities that have initiated at least one contract deployment on Katana Chain within the specified timeframe are represented by this count.
- **Key fields**: `deployer_address`

### Component C: Normalization and finalization

- **Purpose**: Ensure data consistency and alignment with network availability
- **Logic**: Timestamps are truncated to daily granularity using UTC boundaries. The resulting dataset is processed to ensure all IDs are valid and to maintain a consistent historical record. Data is further filtered to align with the latest approved chain freshness and archival status.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `chain_id`, `product_id` (Katana Chain)
