# Soneium Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Soneium transactions per second (TPS) metric measures the average daily transaction throughput on the Soneium blockchain. It answers the business question: "What is the average transaction processing capacity of the Soneium network?" The metric is calculated by aggregating all transactions for each day, then dividing by 86,400 seconds to determine the average transactions processed per second throughout that day.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain transaction data**: Raw Soneium blockchain transaction records containing block timestamps, transaction hashes, sender addresses (`from_address`), and recipient addresses (`to_address`)
- **Chain availability configuration**: System configuration data that determines which blockchain networks are currently active and should be included in metrics
- **Metadata systems**: Table modification tracking and incremental processing metadata for data pipeline management

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extracts and standardizes raw transaction data from the Soneium blockchain
- **Logic**: The system retrieves all transaction records from Soneium blockchain data, casting timestamps, transaction hashes, and addresses to standardized formats. Each transaction is tagged with the chain identifier "soneium" for downstream processing
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (when the transaction was processed), `transaction_hash` (unique transaction identifier), `from_address` (sender), `to_address` (recipient), and `chain` (blockchain identifier)

### Component B: Daily transaction aggregation
- **Purpose**: Counts unique transactions per day and enriches with metadata
- **Logic**: Transaction timestamps are truncated to day boundaries to group all transactions occurring within each calendar day. The system counts distinct transaction hashes to ensure each transaction is counted exactly once, even if it appears multiple times in the raw data. Each day's data is enriched with classification metadata including chain identifier ("soneium"), market sector ("blockchains_l2"), and business segment ("blockchain")
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `transaction_count` (distinct count of transaction hashes), `chain_id`, `market_sector_id`, and `business_segment_id`

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The daily transaction counts are processed through a finalization step that validates the data schema and ensures complete time series coverage
- **Time aggregation**: Any missing days in the time series are filled with zero transaction counts to maintain continuous daily metrics
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable - this is a count-based metric
- **Final calculation**: The average transactions per second is calculated by dividing each day's total transaction count by 86,400 (the number of seconds in a day). This uses safe division to handle any potential division errors. The result represents the average transaction processing rate throughout each day, providing insight into the Soneium network's daily throughput capacity
