# Sei EVM Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second is calculated as the average number of confirmed user transactions added to Sei EVM each second. This metric is utilized to reflect both the network’s throughput and real-time usage intensity. The calculation is derived by dividing the total daily transaction count by the total number of seconds in a day.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction records from the Sei EVM execution environment, covering Sei Network.

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Sei EVM transaction count

- **Purpose**: To aggregate the total volume of unique transactions processed by the network.
- **Logic**: Transaction records are retrieved from Sei EVM. Distinct transaction hashes are counted and grouped by day using the block timestamp. Only transactions originating from the Sei EVM execution environment are included in this count.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_hash` (unique identifier), `block_timestamp` (timing).

### Component B: Transactions per second calculation

- **Purpose**: To normalize daily transaction volume into a standardized throughput metric.
- **Logic**: The total daily transaction count is divided by the number of seconds in a day (86,400). This normalization is applied to provide a consistent measure of network activity across different time periods. Values are generated at a daily granularity with UTC day boundaries.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count` (aggregated daily volume).

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

Sei is a Layer 1 blockchain built for fast, low-cost financial transactions. It combines the security and reliability of Ethereum with the high performance of Solana. To date, Sei has processed billions of transactions across more than 90 million wallets. The project is backed by leading investors, including Multicoin Capital, Jump, Coinbase Ventures, and Circle Ventures. Token Terminal exclusively tracks Sei EVM data.

SEI holders own and govern the protocol. They currently do not take a cut of the transaction fees paid by users (revenue). Sei's investors include Multicoin Capital, Coinbase, etc.
