Validators process transactions and receive fees from users (supply-side fees).

Ronin is a smart contract platform for decentralized applications (a blockchain). Ronin was founded by Sky Mavis and launched in 2021.

RON holders own and govern the protocol. They currently don’t take a cut of the total transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Sky Mavis' investors include a16z, Binance, Animoca Brands, etc.

# Ronin Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Daily active users (DAU) measures the number of unique addresses that initiate at least one transaction on the Ronin blockchain within a given day. This metric provides insight into daily user engagement and activity levels on the Ronin network. The calculation identifies unique transaction senders (from addresses) and counts each address only once per day, regardless of how many transactions they send.

## 2. Data sources

The metric uses the following raw data source:
- **Ronin blockchain transaction records**: Complete transaction history from the Ronin blockchain, including transaction metadata such as block timestamps, transaction hashes, and sender addresses (`from_address`)

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: User identification from transactions
- **Purpose**: Extract and classify all users from raw transaction data
- **Logic**: The calculation starts by accessing all Ronin blockchain transaction records and identifying each transaction sender as a user. Each record includes the `block_timestamp` showing when the transaction occurred, the `transaction_hash` for unique identification, and the `from_address` representing the user who initiated the transaction. All identified users are classified as "Transaction sender" type within the "blockchain" business segment and "blockchains_l1" market sector. The `from_address` field is renamed to `user_address` for consistency.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `transaction_hash`, `from_address` (renamed to `user_address`), with standardized metadata fields including `chain`, `user_type`, `market_sector_id`, and `business_segment_id`

### Component B: Daily aggregation and deduplication
- **Purpose**: Count unique users per day by removing duplicates
- **Logic**: The transaction-level user data is aggregated to daily granularity by truncating the `block_timestamp` to day level using timestamp truncation. This groups all transactions from the same calendar day together. Within each day, the calculation applies a distinct operation on the `user_address` field to ensure each unique address is counted only once per day, regardless of how many transactions that address initiated. Additional metadata fields are preserved including `chain`, `user_type`, and product classification fields.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `timestamp_grain` (set to "day"), `user_address` (renamed to `user_dau` in final output)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily user aggregation directly feeds into the final output without additional joining since both components operate on the same transaction dataset
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for user count metrics
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries using timestamp truncation to day granularity, with each day representing a complete 24-hour period
- **Final calculation**: The final DAU value represents the distinct count of unique `user_address` values (transaction senders) within each calendar day on the Ronin blockchain, with incremental processing logic applied to efficiently handle new data and chain availability filters applied to ensure data quality
