Liquidity providers deposit funds into Osmosis and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

Osmosis is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on Cosmos ecosystem. Osmosis was launched in June 2021.

OSMO token holders own and govern the protocol. They currently do not take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue).

# Osmosis Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Daily Active Users (DAU) for Osmosis measures the number of unique wallet addresses that initiated at least one transaction on the Osmosis network each day. This metric provides insight into daily user engagement and platform activity levels. The calculation relies on pre-processed data from an external scraper that tracks transaction sender addresses and aggregates them daily.

## 2. Data sources

- **Osmosis blockchain transaction data**: Transaction records from the Osmosis network containing sender addresses and timestamps
- **Pre-aggregated user activity data**: Daily active user counts generated by an external scraper that processes Osmosis transactions
- **Transaction sender addresses**: Unique wallet addresses that initiated transactions on each day

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Raw DAU extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract and clean pre-calculated daily active user counts from the external scraper
- **Logic**: The calculation starts with raw daily active user data that has already been processed by an external scraper. This data contains daily counts of unique transaction senders on the Osmosis network. The data is filtered to include only records where the user type is 'Transaction sender' and the chain is 'osmosis'. To handle potential duplicate records in the raw data, the values are aggregated using the average function grouped by `timestamp`, `timestamp_grain`, `chain`, and `user_type`
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily date), `value` (pre-calculated DAU count), `user_type` ('Transaction sender'), `chain` ('osmosis')

### Component B: Dimensional breakdowns
- **Purpose**: Create multiple views of the same DAU data organized by different dimensions
- **Logic**: The raw DAU data is restructured into three separate dimensional breakdowns to support different analytical perspectives. The project-level breakdown aggregates DAU at the overall Osmosis protocol level with no dimensional filtering. The chain-level breakdown organizes DAU by blockchain network (osmosis). The user-type-level breakdown categorizes DAU by the type of user ('Transaction sender'). Each breakdown maintains the same underlying DAU values but organizes them with different dimensional metadata
- **Key fields**: `dimensions` (breakdown type), `chain_id` (chain identifier), `user_type` (user category), `user_dau` (daily active user count)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: All three dimensional breakdowns are combined using union operations to create a single dataset containing multiple views of the same underlying DAU data
- **Schema standardization**: The `finalize_metric_user_dau` macro is applied with a 'fill_zeros' strategy to standardize the output schema and ensure consistent formatting across all Token Terminal metrics
- **Time series completion**: Missing dates in the time series are filled with zero values to ensure continuous daily data coverage without gaps
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the daily count of unique wallet addresses that sent at least one transaction on the Osmosis network, organized across multiple dimensional breakdowns for analytical flexibility
