# Uniswap Transaction count Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transaction count measures the number of confirmed transactions added to the blockchain. It reflects how actively users engage with the network. For Uniswap, transaction activity on Unichain is specifically captured, providing insight into the adoption and operational volume of the ecosystem.

## 2. Data sources

- **Blockchain events**: Transaction execution data from the Unichain network, covering Unichain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Unichain transaction extraction

- **Purpose**: Extract and format transaction records from the Unichain network
- **Logic**: Transaction records are filtered and cast to extract the block timestamp, transaction hash, sender address, and recipient address. Gas-related metrics, including gas used, L1 gas used, L1 gas price, L1 fee scalar, and gas price, are also extracted and cast to appropriate numeric types.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `transaction_hash`, `from_address`, `to_address`

### Component B: Daily transaction aggregation

- **Purpose**: Aggregate transaction volume on a daily basis
- **Logic**: Block timestamps are truncated to the daily level. The distinct number of transaction hashes is calculated using an approximate distinct count for each day. The transactions are grouped by the truncated timestamp, chain, and product identifier.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `transaction_hash`

### Component C: Metric finalization

- **Purpose**: Ensure data integrity and continuous time series
- **Logic**: The aggregated transaction counts are validated against active chain and data identifiers. Missing days in the time series are populated with zero values to ensure a continuous daily record. Chain availability filters are applied to align the data with the active status of the network.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `transaction_count`
