# Rootstock Active users (monthly) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Active users (monthly) measures the number of unique addresses that initiate revenue-generating transactions on the Rootstock blockchain. This metric serves as a primary indicator of network adoption and user engagement within the ecosystem. Every transaction on Rootstock requires the sender to pay a fee in Smart Bitcoin (RBTC), ensuring that the metric captures only those users contributing to the economic activity of the network.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction data including sender addresses and timestamps from the Rootstock blockchain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction sender extraction

- **Purpose**: Identify the unique entities initiating activity on the Rootstock network.
- **Logic**: Transaction data is parsed to extract the sender address from the `from_address` field for every recorded transaction. These addresses are identified as the primary users responsible for network activity.
- **Key fields**: `from_address` (user identification) and `block_timestamp` (event timing).

### Component B: Monthly deduplication and aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total number of unique users for each 30-day rolling window.
- **Logic**: Transaction timestamps are truncated to the monthly grain based on UTC boundaries. Within each 30-day window, the set of sender addresses is deduplicated to ensure that each unique address is counted only once, regardless of the number of transactions submitted. The final count of these distinct addresses is then aggregated to represent the active users (monthly) for the network.
- **Key fields**: `user_address` (aliased sender address) and `block_timestamp`.
