Linea batches users' transactions and submits them to Ethereum, paying a share of the transaction fees to Ethereum validators (expense).

Linea is an L2 smart contract platform for decentralized applications on Ethereum. Linea was founded by the ConsenSys team and launched in 2023.

ConsenSys team owns and governs the protocol. ConsenSys's investors include ParaFi Capital, Microsoft, Coinbase Ventures, etc.

# Linea Contract deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Linea contract deployers metric measures the daily count of unique addresses that deploy smart contracts on the Linea blockchain. This metric tracks developer activity and ecosystem growth by counting how many distinct deployer addresses create new contracts each day. The calculation aggregates contract creation events at daily intervals to provide insight into the pace of development activity on the Linea network.

## 2. Data sources

The metric uses the following raw data sources:
- **Linea blockchain contract creation records**: Comprehensive data about smart contract deployments on Linea, including deployer addresses, creation timestamps, contract addresses, and bytecode
- **Linea transaction traces**: Detailed transaction execution traces that capture contract creation events and their associated metadata
- **Contract deployment transaction data**: Blockchain transaction records that document the deployment of new smart contracts, including the addresses of entities that initiated the deployments

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts all contract creation events from Linea blockchain data
- **Logic**: The system retrieves distinct contract creation records from Linea blockchain data, capturing key information about each contract deployment. The data includes the creation timestamp (`block_timestamp`), the deployed contract address (`account_address`), the deployer address (`deployer_address`), trace address information, contract bytecode, and creator address details. This step ensures each contract creation event is captured with complete metadata.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (contract creation time), `deployer_address` (entity that deployed the contract), `account_address` (deployed contract address), `creation_trace_address` (trace location), `contract_bytecode` (deployed code), `creator_address` (creator information)

### Component B: Daily aggregation and counting
- **Purpose**: Groups contract creations by day and counts unique deployers
- **Logic**: The system truncates block timestamps to daily boundaries using day-level granularity. For each day, it counts the number of distinct deployer addresses that created contracts. The aggregation includes standard metadata assignment with `chain_id` set to 'linea', `market_sector_id` set to 'blockchains_l2', `business_segment_id` set to 'blockchain', and `product_id` set to null. The timestamp grain is set to 'day' to indicate daily aggregation.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily boundary), `contract_deployers` (count of distinct deployer addresses), `chain_id`, `market_sector_id`, `business_segment_id`, `product_id`, `timestamp_grain`

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily aggregated data flows through a finalization macro that standardizes the output format and applies a 'fill_zeros' strategy to handle missing days
- **Gap filling**: Missing days in the time series are filled with zero values to ensure continuous daily coverage
- **Data quality filtering**: Chain availability filtering is applied to ensure data quality based on Linea network operational status, removing or flagging data from periods when the chain may have been unavailable
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the count of distinct deployer addresses that created smart contracts on each day, providing a daily measure of unique contract deployment activity on the Linea blockchain
