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 Transaction count Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Linea transaction count metric measures the daily number of unique transactions processed on the Linea blockchain. This metric provides insight into network activity and adoption by counting distinct transactions grouped by destination address on a daily basis. The calculation aggregates raw blockchain transaction data into daily totals while ensuring data quality through deduplication and gap filling.

## 2. Data sources

- **Linea blockchain transaction records**: Raw transaction data from the Linea Layer 2 blockchain, including transaction hashes, timestamps, sender and recipient addresses, and gas usage information
- **Chain availability configuration data**: Configuration data that defines the operational periods of the Linea blockchain to ensure accurate reporting boundaries

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction data standardization
- **Purpose**: Standardizes raw Linea blockchain transaction data into a consistent format for analysis
- **Logic**: Raw transaction records from the Linea blockchain are processed to cast all fields to appropriate data types. The `block_timestamp` field is converted to timestamp format, while address fields (`from_address` and `to_address`) and `transaction_hash` are cast as strings. Gas-related fields (`gas_used` and `gas_price`) are converted to big numeric format. The model also adds standardized token information, hardcoding the Linea ETH token address as `0xe5d7c2a44ffddf6b295a15c148167daaaf5cf34f` and symbol as `ETH`, along with the chain identifier as `linea`
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` for unique identification, `from_address` and `to_address` for transaction parties, `token_address` and `token_symbol` for asset identification, and `gas_used`/`gas_price` for transaction cost analysis

### Component B: Daily transaction aggregation
- **Purpose**: Aggregates transaction data into daily counts grouped by destination address
- **Logic**: Transaction timestamps are truncated to daily granularity using timestamp truncation. The data is then grouped by the truncated timestamp, chain metadata fields, and destination address (`to_address`). For each group, the number of unique transactions is calculated using a distinct count of transaction hashes. The model adds standardized metadata including `chain_id` as `linea`, `market_sector_id` as `blockchains_l2`, `business_segment_id` as `blockchain`, while `product_id` and `contract_name` are set to null. The aggregation uses incremental processing, only reprocessing recent data based on the maximum partition date plus a configurable lookback period
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily truncated), `transaction_count` (distinct count of hashes), `to_address` for grouping, and various metadata fields for classification

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily transaction aggregation feeds directly into the finalization process without additional joining of separate components
- **Schema validation and gap filling**: The `finalize_metric_transaction_count` macro applies data quality checks, validates that all required identifiers are present, and ensures no gaps exist in the daily time series using a "fill zeros" strategy that inserts zero values for any missing dates
- **Chain availability filtering**: A final filter is applied using chain availability configuration to exclude any periods when the Linea blockchain data may not be reliable or when the chain was not operational
- **Final calculation**: The result is a daily time series showing the count of unique transactions per destination address on the Linea blockchain, with zero values filled for any missing dates and filtered to include only reliable data periods
