# Rootstock Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second is defined as the average number of confirmed transactions added to the Rootstock blockchain every second. This metric is utilized to evaluate the network’s real-time throughput and overall usage intensity. By normalizing transaction volume over a standardized time interval, the operational capacity and efficiency of the network are quantified for comparative analysis.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction records from the Rootstock network

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Rootstock transaction extraction

- **Purpose**: To identify and retrieve unique transaction data from the blockchain
- **Logic**: Individual transaction records are extracted from the Rootstock network. Each record includes a unique transaction hash and a block timestamp, which are used to ensure that every confirmed transaction is accurately accounted for and attributed to the correct time period.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash` (unique identifier) and `block_timestamp` (timing)

### Component B: Daily throughput aggregation

- **Purpose**: To calculate the total volume of activity for each 24-hour period
- **Logic**: A distinct count of all transaction hashes is performed for each UTC day. Transactions are grouped by their timestamp to establish a total daily throughput baseline, ensuring that duplicate records are excluded from the final count.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count` (total daily unique transactions)

### Component C: Normalization to per-second throughput

- **Purpose**: To convert daily totals into a standardized average throughput value
- **Logic**: The aggregate daily transaction count is divided by 86,400, which represents the total number of seconds in a standard day. This calculation produces the average number of transactions processed per second for the specific date. This result is then finalized and prepared for cross-chain comparison.
