Scroll batches users' transactions and submits them to Ethereum, paying a share of the transaction fees to Ethereum validators (expense).

Scroll is an L2 smart contract platform for decentralized applications on Ethereum. Scroll was founded by Sandy Peng, Haichen Shen, and Ye Zhang and launched in 2023.

SCR tokenholders own and govern the protocol. Scroll's investors include Polychain, Qiming Venture Partners, etc.

# Scroll Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the daily USD value of tokens distributed through Scroll's official token distributor contract as rewards, airdrops, or other incentive programs. This metric captures the economic value of tokens being distributed to users as part of Scroll's ecosystem growth and user acquisition strategies. The calculation aggregates all token distribution events from Scroll's TokenDistributor contract, converts amounts to USD using end-of-day pricing, and presents the data as daily totals.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on the following raw data sources:

- **Scroll blockchain event logs**: Parsed `Claimed` events from Scroll's TokenDistributor contract (`0xd29687c813d741e2f938f4ac377128810e217b1b`) capturing token distribution activities
- **Token metadata**: Token decimal specifications for proper amount formatting and conversion
- **End-of-day price feeds**: Daily token price data for USD conversion of distributed token amounts

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Token distribution event extraction
- **Purpose**: Identifies and extracts all token distribution events from Scroll's official TokenDistributor contract
- **Logic**: Queries Scroll blockchain event logs for `Claimed` events from the TokenDistributor contract address `0xd29687c813d741e2f938f4ac377128810e217b1b`. Events are filtered to include only those occurring before March 26, 2025. Each event captures the block timestamp, transaction details, and the distributed token amount. The token address is hardcoded to Scroll's token address for all events.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` and `log_index` for event identification, `amount` for the quantity of tokens distributed

### Component B: Daily aggregation and metadata enrichment
- **Purpose**: Aggregates token distribution events to daily totals and adds standardized business metadata
- **Logic**: Groups token distribution events by day using timestamp truncation to daily boundaries. Adds business classification metadata including business line as 'blockchain', market sector as 'blockchains_l2', and contract identification as 'Token distributor'. The aggregation maintains the raw token amounts while preparing them for USD conversion.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` truncated to day level, `token_incentives` containing the distributed token amounts, business metadata fields for classification

### Component C: USD conversion and decimal correction
- **Purpose**: Converts raw token amounts to properly formatted USD values
- **Logic**: Applies decimal correction to token amounts based on token metadata to ensure proper formatting (adjusting for token-specific decimal places). Converts the decimal-corrected token amounts to USD using end-of-day price feeds. This process ensures accurate valuation of distributed tokens regardless of the token's decimal precision.
- **Key fields**: USD-converted `token_incentives` values with proper decimal formatting

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The processed token distribution data flows through the finalization process which validates the metric schema, ensures proper data identification, and applies gap-filling strategies
- **Currency conversion**: Token amounts are converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds after decimal correction to ensure accurate valuation
- **Time aggregation**: Events are aggregated to daily boundaries, with the timestamp representing the day when token distributions occurred
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the total USD value of tokens distributed through Scroll's TokenDistributor contract on each day, with zero-filling applied to maintain complete daily time series coverage
