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 Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Linea contracts deployed metric measures the daily count of smart contracts deployed on the Linea L2 blockchain. This metric tracks ecosystem growth and developer activity by counting the total number of new contract deployments each day. The calculation uses a straightforward aggregation approach that counts distinct contract creation events and aggregates them by day, ensuring a complete time series with zero-filling for days without deployments.

## 2. Data sources

- **Linea contract creation records**: Contract deployment data from Linea L2 blockchain including contract addresses, deployer addresses, creation timestamps, transaction traces, and contract bytecode
- **Linea transaction traces**: Blockchain transaction data containing contract deployment events with trace addresses and creator information  
- **Linea block data**: Block timestamp information for daily time boundary aggregation
- **Chain availability data**: Linea network availability status to filter out periods with incomplete data coverage

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract and deduplicate all contract deployment events from Linea blockchain
- **Logic**: Query Linea contract creation records to get all contract deployments. Apply distinct filtering to ensure each contract creation is counted only once, even if it appears multiple times in the raw data. Extract key fields including creation timestamp, contract address, deployer address, creation trace address, contract bytecode, and creator address.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` for timing, `contract_address` for unique contract identification, `deployer_address` for the deploying account, `creation_trace_address` for transaction trace reference, `contract_bytecode` for the deployed contract code, and `creator_address` for the contract creator

### Component B: Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Group contract deployments by day and count total deployments per day
- **Logic**: Truncate the creation timestamp to day boundaries to create daily time buckets. Group all contract creations by the truncated day timestamp. Count the total number of contract deployments for each day using a simple count aggregation. Add standardized metric metadata including chain identifier as 'linea', market sector as 'blockchains_l2', business segment as 'blockchain', and null product identifier.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to daily granularity, `contracts_deployed` as the daily count, and standard metadata fields for metric categorization

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The contract creation extraction feeds directly into the daily aggregation component through a simple grouping and counting operation
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this count-based metric
- **Time aggregation**: Contract creation timestamps are truncated to day boundaries using timestamp truncation, creating daily time buckets for aggregation
- **Final calculation**: Apply the finalize metric macro with zero-filling strategy to ensure complete daily time series, filling gaps with zero values for days without contract deployments. Filter results based on Linea chain availability to exclude periods when network data may be incomplete or unavailable. The final metric value represents the total count of unique smart contracts deployed on Linea for each day.
