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 Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Linea daily active users (DAU) metric measures the number of distinct unique addresses that initiated transactions on the Linea blockchain on any given day. This metric provides insight into daily user engagement and adoption of the Linea Layer 2 network by counting unique transaction senders (the `from_address` of each transaction) per day.

## 2. Data sources

- **Linea blockchain transactions**: Complete transaction records from the Linea Layer 2 blockchain, including transaction metadata, sender addresses, and block timestamps
- **Transaction sender addresses**: The `from_address` field from each transaction, representing the wallet or contract that initiated the transaction
- **Block timestamps**: Timestamp data from Linea blocks to enable daily aggregation of user activity

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: User identification and classification
- **Purpose**: Extract and classify all transaction senders from Linea blockchain data
- **Logic**: The system processes all Linea blockchain transactions and extracts the sender address from each transaction's `from_address` field. Each transaction sender is classified as a 'Transaction sender' user type and categorized within the 'blockchains_l2' market sector and 'blockchain' business segment. The block timestamp is preserved to enable temporal analysis.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` for transaction identification, `from_address` as the user identifier, and metadata fields for classification

### Component B: Daily aggregation and deduplication
- **Purpose**: Calculate daily distinct active users by aggregating unique addresses per day
- **Logic**: Block timestamps are truncated to day-level granularity to group all transactions by calendar day. Within each day, the system counts distinct user addresses to eliminate multiple transactions from the same address. This ensures each unique address is counted only once per day, regardless of how many transactions they initiated.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `user_address` (deduplicated), and classification metadata

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The user classification and daily aggregation happen in sequence, where classified users are grouped by truncated timestamp and deduplicated by address
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this user count metric
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are determined by truncating block timestamps to day granularity, ensuring all transactions within a 24-hour period are grouped together
- **Final calculation**: The final DAU value represents the count of distinct user addresses that initiated at least one transaction on the Linea blockchain during each calendar day, with incremental processing ensuring data completeness through configurable lookback periods
