# SUNSwap V4 Trade count Methodology

## 1. Overview

Trade count measures the number of trades executed on SUNSwap V4. The frequency of user buying and selling activity through the SUNSwap V4 protocol is indicated by this metric. Each individual swap event emitted by a PoolManager contract is counted as a single trade, meaning multi-hop transactions that route through multiple pools are counted as multiple trades. Overall transaction activity and liquidity utilization of the platform are reflected by this metric.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: `Swap` events from `PoolManager` contracts, and transaction sender details from native transactions, covering Tron

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: SUNSwap V4 trade extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract individual swap transactions executed on SUNSwap V4
- **Logic**: `Swap` events are parsed from `PoolManager` contracts on Tron. These events are joined with native transaction data to identify the transaction sender and block timestamp. For each event, the pool identifier, sender address, and asset amounts are extracted. Asset amounts are normalized by removing internal prefixes. Only events occurring on or after December 29, 2025, are included.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (timing), `transaction_hash` (transaction identification), `account_address` (pool identifier), `contract_user_address` (contract user address), `user_address` (transaction sender address), `token0_amount` (asset 0 quantity), and `token1_amount` (asset 1 quantity)

### Component B: Trade count aggregation

- **Purpose**: Aggregate the total number of trades on a daily basis
- **Logic**: The extracted swap events are grouped by day, chain, and product. A simple count of all recorded swap events is calculated to represent the total trade count.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily granularity), `chain_id` (chain identifier), `product_id` (product identifier), and `trade_count` (aggregated count)
