# OpenChat Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

The OpenChat daily active users (DAU) metric measures the number of unique users who were active on the OpenChat social platform each day. This metric captures user engagement by counting distinct user addresses that generated `user_online` events, providing insight into daily platform usage and user retention. The calculation aggregates application-level activity events from the Internet Computer blockchain-based OpenChat platform.

## 2. Data sources

The metric relies on structured event logs from the OpenChat social platform:
- **OpenChat platform events**: Application-level event logs capturing user interactions and status changes on the OpenChat social messaging platform
- **Internet Computer activity data**: User activity events recorded on the Internet Computer blockchain where OpenChat operates
- **User telemetry data**: Structured event data including timestamps, user identifiers, event types, and payload information

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Event deduplication
- **Purpose**: Clean and deduplicate raw OpenChat platform events to ensure accurate user counting
- **Logic**: Process raw event logs from the OpenChat platform and remove duplicate entries. Deduplication uses a combination of `timestamp`, `user` identifier, event `name`, data `source`, and `payload` content to identify identical events. Events are numbered using a window function, and only the first occurrence of each unique event combination is retained.
- **Key fields**: Event `timestamp`, `user` address, event `name`, data `source`, and event `payload`

### Component B: User activity filtering  
- **Purpose**: Identify actual user activity events that indicate platform engagement
- **Logic**: Filter the deduplicated events to focus specifically on `user_online` events, which signal when users are actively using the OpenChat platform. Apply a date boundary starting from February 14, 2024 to ensure consistent data quality and exclude historical data that may have different collection methodologies. Extract the user address and timestamp for each qualifying activity event.
- **Key fields**: Filtered `timestamp` and `user_address` from qualifying activity events

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The filtered user activity events are processed to calculate daily active users by truncating timestamps to daily boundaries and applying metadata enrichment
- **Time aggregation**: Timestamps are truncated to day-level granularity using timestamp truncation, creating daily buckets for user activity measurement
- **Metadata enrichment**: Each record is classified with platform metadata including chain designation as `internetcomputer`, market sector as `social`, and business segment as `social`
- **Final calculation**: The result represents daily unique user addresses that generated `user_online` events, providing a count of distinct active users per day on the OpenChat social platform. Chain availability filtering ensures data quality by excluding periods with incomplete data coverage.
