# Movement Contract deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

This metric measures the number of unique addresses that deployed smart contracts on the Movement blockchain each day. It serves as an indicator of developer activity and ecosystem growth by tracking how many distinct entities are creating new smart contracts daily. The calculation aggregates all contract creation events by day and counts the unique deployer addresses within each 24-hour period.

## 2. Data sources

- **Movement contract creation events**: Raw blockchain data capturing every smart contract deployment on the Movement network, including creation timestamps, contract identifiers, and deployer addresses
- **Movement transaction logs**: Underlying transaction data that records contract deployment activities on the blockchain
- **Movement blockchain state data**: Network state information that tracks contract creation events and their associated metadata

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts clean, deduplicated records of all smart contract deployments on Movement
- **Logic**: Retrieves all contract creation records from Movement blockchain data, selecting the creation timestamp, contract identifier, and deployer address. Applies deduplication using distinct selection to ensure each contract creation is counted only once, even if it appears multiple times in the raw data
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` (when the contract was deployed), `contract_id` (unique identifier for the deployed contract), `deployer_address` (the address that initiated the contract deployment)

### Component B: Daily aggregation of unique deployers
- **Purpose**: Groups contract deployments by day and counts distinct deployer addresses
- **Logic**: Truncates the creation timestamps to day boundaries to group all deployments within each calendar day. For each day, counts the number of distinct deployer addresses that created contracts, regardless of how many contracts each address deployed. Assigns standard metadata including chain identifier as 'movement', market sector as 'blockchains_l2', and business segment as 'blockchain'
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily boundary), `contract_deployers` (count of unique deployer addresses per day)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The metric combines the extracted contract creation data with daily aggregation in a single flow, where raw contract records are directly grouped and counted by day
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this metric as it counts addresses rather than monetary values
- **Time aggregation**: Uses daily time boundaries created by truncating timestamps to day precision, ensuring all contract deployments within a 24-hour period are grouped together
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the count of distinct deployer addresses per day, with gap filling applied to show zero deployers for days with no contract creation activity, and chain availability filtering to ensure data quality and completeness
