# Kilt Chain Staking market cap Methodology

## 1. Overview

Staking market cap measures the value of native assets currently staked on the Kilt Chain proof-of-stake network. This metric reflects the total capital committed by collators to help secure the blockchain. It serves as a key indicator of network security and economic alignment within the Kilt Chain ecosystem.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Validator stake data from `parachainStaking` modules on Kilt Chain
- **External data**: End-of-day price feeds for native Kilt Chain assets

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Validator stake extraction

- **Purpose**: Retrieve and normalize the amount of native assets staked by network collators
- **Logic**: Stake data is parsed from `parachainStaking` state on Kilt Chain to identify the `totalCollatorStake` for each unique validator. Stake amounts are extracted per `validator_id` and normalized by decimal precision.
- **Key fields**: `validator_stake`, `validator_id`

### Component B: Aggregation and USD conversion

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total staked value in USD with daily granularity
- **Logic**: Staked amounts are summed across all collators to determine the total daily validator stake. These values are multiplied by end-of-day price feeds to arrive at the staking market cap in USD. A fill-forward strategy is applied to ensure data continuity for days where new snapshots may not be available.
- **Key fields**: `total_validator_stake`, `block_timestamp`
