# Active users (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active users (weekly) is measured as the total number of unique addresses that execute revenue-generating transactions through Stargate. User activity is identified via cross-chain swap interactions mediated by the protocol's smart contracts. This metric provides a weekly count of distinct participants utilizing Stargate for asset transfers across multiple blockchain networks using a 7-day rolling window.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `Swap` events from `StargateV1` contracts, covering Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BSC, and 17 other chains

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Stargate activity extraction

- **Purpose**: To identify individual users engaging in Stargate bridging transactions
- **Logic**: Transaction sender addresses are parsed from `Swap` events emitted by `StargateV1` contracts. The address responsible for initiating the swap is captured from the `from` field of the event data. This extraction process is applied to all relevant transactions across the supported deployment chains.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (timing), `from` (address of the transaction sender)

### Component B: Weekly aggregation and de-duplication

- **Purpose**: To calculate the number of unique weekly participants
- **Logic**: User addresses are aggregated into 7-day rolling windows. A de-duplication process is performed to ensure that each unique address is counted only once per 7-day window. The final weekly active user values are generated by calculating the distinct count of these addresses across the analyzed blockchain events.
