World Chain is designed as a Layer 2 blockchain built on the OP Stack and optimized for verified humans. It leverages World ID, a privacy-preserving proof of personhood, to prioritize real users over bots and Sybil attackers. It integrates with World App and other identity wallets using Safe smart contract infrastructure.

World Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 chain that enables applications to distinguish between bots and verified humans. It forms a core part of the Worldcoin ecosystem, aiming to power more human-centric onchain activity by prioritizing real people in blockspace allocation and transaction processing.

World Chain is developed by the team behind Worldcoin, which is currently governed by the Worldcoin Foundation. Worldcoin's investors include a16z, Multicoin Capital, 1confirmation, CoinFund, among others.

# World Chain Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

Daily Active Users (DAU) for WorldChain measures the number of unique addresses that initiated at least one transaction on the WorldChain blockchain during a given day. This metric provides insight into daily user engagement and adoption of the WorldChain network. The calculation follows a straightforward approach: identify all unique transaction senders within each calendar day and count them as distinct active users.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on the following raw data sources:

- **WorldChain transaction records**: Complete transaction history from the WorldChain blockchain including sender addresses, timestamps, and transaction metadata
- **Block timestamp data**: Precise timing information for when each transaction was included in a block on the WorldChain network

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: User identification and data preparation
- **Purpose**: Extract and standardize user activity data from WorldChain transactions
- **Logic**: The system pulls all transaction records from WorldChain blockchain data and identifies users as transaction senders using the `from_address` field. Each transaction record includes the sender address, block timestamp, and transaction hash. The data is enriched with metadata classifications including chain identifier as 'worldchain', market sector as 'blockchains_l2', business segment as 'blockchain', and user type as 'Transaction sender'. Block timestamps are normalized to proper timestamp format to ensure consistent time-based processing.
- **Key fields**: `from_address` (user address), `block_timestamp` (transaction timing), `transaction_hash` (unique transaction identifier)

### Component B: Daily aggregation and distinct user counting  
- **Purpose**: Calculate daily distinct active users by aggregating transaction senders per calendar day
- **Logic**: Block timestamps are truncated to day-level boundaries to group all transactions within the same calendar day. The system then applies a distinct count operation on user addresses within each day to ensure that users who performed multiple transactions are counted only once. The timestamp grain is set to 'day' to indicate the aggregation level. Chain availability filtering is applied to ensure data quality and consistency across the metric calculation.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (day-level timestamp), `user_address` (distinct user identifier), `timestamp_grain` (aggregation level indicator)

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The user identification component feeds directly into the daily aggregation component through a single data flow
- **Time aggregation**: Calendar day boundaries are established using timestamp truncation, with all transactions occurring within a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight being grouped together
- **Final calculation**: The metric value represents the count of distinct user addresses that initiated at least one transaction during each calendar day on the WorldChain blockchain
