# Unichain Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

The Unichain Daily Active Users (DAU) metric measures the number of unique addresses that initiated transactions on the Unichain network each day. This metric provides insight into daily user engagement and network activity by counting distinct transaction senders. The calculation treats any address that sends at least one transaction in a given day as an active user for that day.

## 2. Data sources

The DAU calculation relies on:
- **Unichain transaction records**: Raw blockchain transaction data from the Unichain network containing transaction metadata
- **Transaction timestamps**: Block timestamps indicating when transactions were processed on-chain  
- **Sender addresses**: Transaction originator addresses (`from_address`) representing users initiating blockchain activity

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: User identification and classification
- **Purpose**: Identify and classify all transaction senders as active users
- **Logic**: Extract transaction data from Unichain blockchain records, focusing on sender addresses and timestamps. Each transaction sender address is classified as a "Transaction sender" user type within the "blockchain" business segment and "blockchains_l2" market sector. All addresses are treated equally regardless of transaction frequency or value.
- **Key fields**: `from_address` becomes `user_address`, `block_timestamp` for timing, `transaction_hash` for reference tracking

### Component B: Daily aggregation and deduplication  
- **Purpose**: Group users by day and count unique addresses
- **Logic**: Truncate transaction timestamps to day granularity using timestamp truncation to establish daily boundaries. Group all user activity by the resulting daily timestamp. Within each day, select distinct user addresses to ensure each unique sender is counted only once, regardless of how many transactions they initiated that day.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (truncated to day), `user_address` (deduplicated), `timestamp_grain` (set to "day")

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The final metric combines the user identification with daily aggregation in a single flow, where transaction senders are immediately grouped by day and deduplicated
- **Time aggregation**: Daily boundaries are determined by truncating block timestamps to day granularity, ensuring consistent daily metrics regardless of when during the day transactions occur
- **Final calculation**: The DAU value represents the count of distinct user addresses that sent at least one transaction on the Unichain network within each calendar day. Each unique address contributes exactly one to the daily count, regardless of their transaction frequency or volume.
