# Worldcoin Active users (daily) Methodology

## 1. Overview

This metric measures the daily active users (DAU) across Worldcoin's ecosystem, combining users from two distinct sources: wallet creators on Optimism and transaction senders on Worldchain. The metric provides a count of unique addresses that were active on each day, where "active" is defined differently for each network based on the specific user behaviors relevant to Worldcoin's infrastructure.

## 2. Data sources

The calculation relies on three primary blockchain data sources:

- **Optimism event logs**: Parsed `SafeSetup` events emitted by smart contract wallets during the wallet creation process
- **Optimism transaction records**: Complete transaction data including sender addresses and transaction status information  
- **Worldchain transaction records**: All transaction data from the Worldchain network, including sender addresses and timestamps

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Optimism wallet creation users

- **Purpose**: Identifies users who created new Worldcoin wallets on the Optimism network
- **Logic**: The system maintains a predefined list of 24 approved wallet creator addresses that are authorized to create Worldcoin wallets. It filters Optimism event logs for `SafeSetup` events (identified by topic hash `0x141df868a6331af528e38c83b7aa03edc19be66e37ae67f9285bf4f8e3c6a1a8`) emitted by wallet contracts during creation. These events are then validated by joining with Optimism transactions to ensure the wallet creation was initiated by one of the approved creator addresses. Only successful transactions (receipt status true) are included, and data collection starts from June 1, 2023.
- **Key fields**: The `block_timestamp` for daily aggregation, `user_address` (the newly created wallet address), `user_type` set to "Wallet creator", and classification under "infrastructure" market sector

### Component B: Worldchain transaction users  

- **Purpose**: Captures all users who sent transactions on the Worldchain network
- **Logic**: This component takes a simpler approach by directly reading all transaction records from the Worldchain network. Every unique `from_address` that successfully sent a transaction is considered an active user for that day. No filtering for specific transaction types or validation against creator addresses is performed.
- **Key fields**: The `block_timestamp` for daily aggregation, `user_address` (the transaction sender address), `user_type` set to "Transaction sender", and classification under "blockchains_l2" market sector

### Final aggregation

- **Combining components**: The two user populations are merged using a union operation, creating a single dataset containing both Optimism wallet creators and Worldchain transaction senders. Each record includes the user address, timestamp, chain identifier, and user type classification.
- **Currency conversion**: No currency conversion is required as this metric counts addresses rather than monetary values
- **Time aggregation**: Timestamps are truncated to daily boundaries using day-level precision. The distinct operation is applied to ensure each user address is counted only once per day, regardless of how many wallet creations or transactions they performed  
- **Final calculation**: The metric represents the count of unique user addresses active on each day across both networks. Users are deduplicated within each day but can appear on multiple days. The result includes metadata distinguishing between user types and their respective blockchain networks.

Worldcoin

Users sign up for World ID by visiting a Worldcoin Operator and verifying their unique personhood at an Orb. The Orb uses iris biometrics to establish an individual’s unique personhood and then creates a digital World ID, which is stored on the users device using a compatible identity wallet. World App is built on top of Safe's smart contract accounts and also serves as an identity wallet.

Worldcoin is an open source protocol primarily consisting of World ID - a privacy-preserving digital identity and World App - a fully self custodial wallet. Worldcoin was founded by Sam Altman, Alex Blania and Max Novendstern and publicly launched in July 2023.

Worldcoin is currently governed by the Worldcoin Foundation, but intends to decentralize governance over time. Worldcoin's investors include a16z, Multicoin Capital, 1confirmation, CoinFund etc.
