# Uniswap Transactions per second Methodology

## 1. Overview

Transactions per second measures the average number of confirmed user transactions added to the blockchain each second. It reflects both the network’s throughput and real-time usage. For Uniswap, this metric is calculated specifically for Unichain, the protocol's dedicated Layer 2 network. Insights into the execution speed, throughput, and real-time activity of the network are provided by this metric. By analyzing this throughput, the overall scalability and user adoption of the Unichain ecosystem can be evaluated.

## 2. Data sources

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

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Daily transaction aggregation

- **Purpose**: Calculate the total number of unique transactions executed on Unichain each day
- **Logic**: Transaction records from the Unichain network are truncated to a daily grain based on the block timestamp. The total number of daily transactions is determined by calculating the approximate distinct count of transaction hashes.
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `transaction_hash`

### Component B: Transactions per second calculation

- **Purpose**: Convert the daily transaction volume into an average per-second throughput
- **Logic**: The aggregated daily transaction count is divided by the total number of seconds in a day. Any days with missing data are filled with zero values to maintain a continuous daily time series.
- **Key fields**: `transaction_count`, `timestamp`
