# Uniswap Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

Contracts deployed is measured as the number of unique smart contracts published onchain. This metric is utilized as a proxy for the volume of new infrastructure, applications, and developer activity initiated within the ecosystem. For Uniswap, contract deployments are tracked on Unichain. The monitoring of these deployments assists in assessing the growth, developer adoption, and expansion of the application ecosystem built on top of the network.

## 2. Data sources

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

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Unichain contract creation extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract unique contract deployment records from Unichain
- **Logic**: Distinct contract creation records are retrieved from Unichain. For each deployment, the creation timestamp, contract address, deployer address, creation trace address, contract bytecode, and creator address are extracted to identify unique smart contracts.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` and `contract_address`

### Component B: Daily aggregation

- **Purpose**: Aggregate the count of deployed contracts on a daily basis
- **Logic**: The contract creation timestamps are truncated to daily granularity. The total number of unique contracts deployed is calculated by counting the records for each day.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`

### Component C: Normalization and zero-filling

- **Purpose**: Standardize the dataset and fill gaps for days with no activity
- **Logic**: The aggregated daily counts are cast to standard data types. A zero-filling strategy is applied to ensure that days with no contract deployments are represented with a value of zero, maintaining a continuous daily time series.
- **Key fields**: `contracts_deployed`
