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 Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second (TPS) measures the average number of transactions processed by the Linea blockchain per second over a daily period. This metric provides insight into the network's throughput and activity levels by calculating the daily transaction count divided by the number of seconds in a day (86,400). The calculation uses distinct transaction hashes to ensure accurate counting and applies daily aggregation boundaries for consistent measurement.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on the following data sources:
- **Linea blockchain transaction records**: Raw transaction data containing block timestamps, transaction hashes, sender and receiver addresses, gas usage, and gas price information
- **Chain availability configuration**: Metadata defining when the Linea blockchain was operational and producing valid blocks

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction data preparation
- **Purpose**: Clean and standardize raw Linea transaction data for analysis
- **Logic**: Extract core transaction fields from Linea blockchain records and cast them to appropriate data types. The `block_timestamp` field is converted to timestamp format, while `transaction_hash`, `from_address`, and `to_address` are cast as strings. Gas-related fields including `gas_used` and `gas_price` are converted to numeric formats. The system adds standardized metadata including chain identifier ('linea'), ETH token address (`0xe5d7c2a44ffddf6b295a15c148167daaaf5cf34f`), and token symbol ('ETH')
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` for unique identification, `from_address` and `to_address` for transaction participants, `gas_used` and `gas_price` for fee calculation

### Component B: Daily transaction aggregation  
- **Purpose**: Count distinct transactions per day with proper business classification
- **Logic**: Group cleaned transaction data by daily boundaries using timestamp truncation to day level. Count distinct `transaction_hash` values for each day to ensure accurate transaction counting without duplicates. Apply business segment classification with 'linea' as `chain_id`, 'blockchains_l2' as `market_sector_id`, and 'blockchain' as `business_segment_id`. The aggregation includes incremental processing logic that looks back a configurable number of days to handle late-arriving data and ensures data completeness
- **Key fields**: Truncated daily `timestamp`, distinct `transaction_hash` count aggregated as `transaction_count`, business classification fields for proper categorization

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily transaction counts flow directly into the TPS calculation without additional joins
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion required as this is a count-based metric
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are maintained with timestamp truncation to day level, ensuring consistent 24-hour periods for measurement
- **Final calculation**: Transactions per second is calculated by dividing the daily `transaction_count` by 86,400 (the number of seconds in a day) using safe division to handle potential divide-by-zero scenarios. The result represents the average transactions per second for each day. Schema finalization applies validation rules and fills any data gaps with zero values to ensure consistent time series data. Chain availability filtering removes results from periods when the Linea blockchain was not operational
