# Active users (weekly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active users (weekly) for Near Intents measures the number of unique addresses that engage in revenue-generating transactions through the Near Intents swap and transfer infrastructure. This metric identifies participants who execute intent-based swaps or related asset transfers facilitated by the protocol. By tracking unique weekly interactions, the metric provides insight into the adoption and utility of intent-based execution on Near Protocol.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `token_diff` and `transfer` events from `intents.near` contracts on Near Protocol

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Swap-based user identification

- **Purpose**: To identify unique users initiating swap transactions through the protocol.
- **Logic**: Logs from the `intents.near` contract are filtered to isolate `token_diff` events. The `account_id` field within the event data is extracted to represent the active user. These events signify the completion of intent-based swaps where token balances are updated and fees are collected.

### Component B: Swap-related transfer identification

- **Purpose**: To capture additional participants involved in asset movements directly tied to swap execution.
- **Logic**: `transfer` events from the `intents.near` contract are parsed. These events are filtered to include only those sharing a unique transaction receipt identifier with the swap events identified in Component A. From these filtered logs, both the `account_id` and the `receiver_id` are extracted as active users, ensuring all counterparties in a swap-related transfer are accounted for.

### Component C: Weekly aggregation

- **Purpose**: To calculate the final count of unique weekly participants.
- **Logic**: All addresses identified from swaps and related transfers are combined into a single dataset. Duplicate addresses are removed for each transaction receipt and subsequently for each 7-day rolling window. The final metric is calculated as the count of unique user addresses per 7-day window for the Near Intents product.
