# Robinhood Chain Contract Deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contract Deployers is defined as the number of unique addresses by which smart contracts are deployed on Robinhood Chain. This metric is utilized as a primary indicator of developer activity, ecosystem growth, and programmatic engagement within the network. By tracking the distinct entities initiating contract creations, developer-side adoption of the infrastructure is quantified over time.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Contract creation records and deployment traces from system contracts, covering Robinhood Chain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract contract deployment details from the ledger
- **Logic**: Contract creation records are retrieved from the underlying ledger. For each creation, the block timestamp, contract address, deployer address, and creator address are extracted. Only distinct records are retained to prevent duplicate counting of the same deployment trace.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `contract_address`, `deployer_address`

### Component B: Daily aggregation and deduplication

- **Purpose**: Aggregate and count unique deployers per day
- **Logic**: Block timestamps are truncated to daily granularity. The number of unique deployer addresses is calculated by counting distinct deployer addresses for each day. The aggregated values are mapped to the daily timestamp grain, with the product and chain identifiers set to Robinhood Chain.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `contract_deployers`

### Component C: Finalization and zero-filling

- **Purpose**: Ensure data completeness and schema consistency
- **Logic**: The aggregated daily counts are validated against approved chain and data identifiers. Missing days in the time series are filled with zeros to ensure a continuous daily record. A chain availability filter is applied to restrict the output to approved historical ranges.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `contract_deployers`
