# Mantra Chain Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second measures the average number of confirmed user transactions added to the blockchain each second. This metric reflects both the network’s throughput and real-time usage across Mantra Chain and Mantra EVM. It serves as a key indicator of network activity and capacity utilization.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Confirmed transactions from Mantra Chain and Mantra EVM

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Mantra Chain and Mantra EVM transaction aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total daily volume of confirmed transactions.
- **Logic**: Transaction data is retrieved from Mantra Chain and Mantra EVM. A distinct count of transaction hashes is performed and aggregated at a daily granularity to determine the total number of confirmed operations within each 24-hour UTC period.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash`, `block_timestamp`

### Component B: Transactions per second calculation

- **Purpose**: Normalize daily transaction counts into a throughput metric.
- **Logic**: The daily sum of transactions is divided by the total number of seconds in a day (86,400). This provides an average throughput value that represents the frequency of transaction confirmation per second.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count`

### Component C: Data normalization and final aggregation

- **Purpose**: Ensure data continuity and consistency across products.
- **Logic**: Missing data points are identified and zero-filled to maintain a continuous time series. The resulting values are filtered based on chain availability and archive status to ensure only approved data is presented. Metrics are then finalized for each individual product and chain combination.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `product_id`, `chain_id`
