# Seamless Protocol Token incentives Methodology

## 1. Overview

Token incentives measures the daily USD value of governance tokens distributed as rewards to users on Seamless Protocol, a lending protocol on Base blockchain. This metric captures the monetary value of token-based incentives paid out to protocol participants, helping quantify the cost of user acquisition and retention through token emissions. The calculation aggregates daily reward claim events and converts token amounts to USD values using end-of-day pricing data.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on the following raw data sources:
- **Blockchain events**: Parsed `RewardsClaimed` events from Seamless Protocol's RewardsController contract on Base blockchain
- **External data**: End-of-day token price feeds for USD conversion
- **Token metadata**: Token decimal precision data for proper amount normalization

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Raw incentive event extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts and filters token reward claim events from the Seamless Protocol RewardsController contract
- **Logic**: The system identifies `RewardsClaimed` events emitted by Seamless Protocol's RewardsController contract on Base blockchain. Events are filtered to include only claims for specific governance token addresses (`0x1c7a460413dd4e964f96d8dfc56e7223ce88cd85` and `0x998e44232bef4f8b033e5a5175bdc97f2b10d5e5`). Each event captures the recipient account, token address being claimed, and raw token amount. The data includes transaction context such as block timestamp, transaction hash, and log index for traceability.
- **Key fields**: `account_address` (reward recipient), `token_address` (governance token being claimed), `amount` (raw token quantity), `block_timestamp` (claim time)

### Component B: Daily aggregation and classification  
- **Purpose**: Groups reward claims by day and applies business classification metadata
- **Logic**: Raw event data is aggregated by truncating block timestamps to daily boundaries. Each record is classified with business metadata including chain identifier (Base), business line (Lending), market sector (lending), and business segment (lending). The product identifier is left null as this represents protocol-level incentives rather than specific product rewards.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily grain), `chain_id` (Base), `market_sector_id` (lending), `token_incentives` (daily token amount)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Daily token amounts are converted to USD values using end-of-day token price feeds, with proper decimal adjustment applied based on each token's precision
- **Currency conversion**: Token amounts are converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds matched by token address and date, ensuring consistent valuation timing
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries using timestamp truncation, with gaps filled using a zero-fill strategy to ensure continuous time series
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value represents the total USD value of governance tokens claimed as rewards on each day, providing a measure of daily token incentive distribution costs for the protocol
