Liquidity providers deposit funds into Uniswap and receive trading fees from traders (supply-side fees).

Uniswap is a non-custodial exchange protocol built on Ethereum. Uniswap was founded by Hayden Adams and launched in 2018.

UNI tokenholders own and govern the protocol. They do not currently take a cut of the total trading fees paid by traders (revenue). Uniswap's investors include Paradigm, a16z, USV, etc.

# Uniswap Contract deployers Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contract deployers measures the number of unique addresses that have deployed at least one smart contract. This metric is utilized as a proxy for the number of independent developers or entities actively publishing code onchain. Developer activity and ecosystem growth are monitored over time for Unichain.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Contract creation records, covering Unichain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Contract creation extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract contract deployment details from the blockchain
- **Logic**: Contract creation records are retrieved from Unichain. For each contract deployment, the creation timestamp, contract address, and deployer address are extracted.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` (timing), `deployer_address` (deployer identification), `contract_address` (deployed contract identification)

### Component B: Unique deployer aggregation

- **Purpose**: Aggregate and count unique deployer addresses per day
- **Logic**: Deployer addresses are grouped by day based on the truncated block timestamp. The number of unique deployer addresses is calculated for each daily interval to determine the daily count of active contract deployers.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp` (timing), `deployer_address` (deployer identification)

### Component C: Finalization and zero-filling

- **Purpose**: Standardize the metric schema and fill missing days
- **Logic**: The aggregated daily counts are cast to the appropriate data types and mapped to the corresponding product and chain identifiers. A zero-filling strategy is applied to ensure days with no contract deployments are populated with a value of zero, maintaining a continuous time series. Chain availability filters are applied to align the data with approved freshness boundaries.
