# XAI Contracts deployed Methodology

## 1. Overview

This metric measures the daily number of smart contracts deployed on the XAI blockchain. It counts unique contract creation events per day, providing insight into development activity and ecosystem growth on the XAI L3 blockchain. The calculation aggregates contract deployment transactions by day and applies gap-filling logic to create a consistent time series.

## 2. Data sources

- **XAI contract creation events**: Parsed XAI blockchain transaction traces that identify contract deployment transactions, including creation timestamps, deployed contract addresses, deployer addresses, and trace information
- **XAI block data**: Block timestamp information for temporal aggregation
- **Chain availability metadata**: Data quality indicators that identify periods when XAI blockchain data is reliable and complete

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Contract creation identification
- **Purpose**: Identify all contract deployment events on the XAI blockchain
- **Logic**: Extract contract creation records from XAI blockchain data, including the `creation_timestamp`, deployed `contract_address`, `deployer_address`, and `creation_trace_address`. Filter to include only contract creations that occurred on or before August 22, 2025. Use distinct selection to avoid duplicate records for the same contract deployment.
- **Key fields**: `creation_timestamp` (when the contract was deployed), `contract_address` (address of the newly deployed contract), `deployer_address` (address that deployed the contract), `creation_trace_address` (transaction trace identifier)

### Daily aggregation
- **Purpose**: Count contract deployments per day and assign metadata
- **Logic**: Group contract creation events by day using timestamp truncation to daily boundaries. Count the total number of contract deployments for each day. Assign standard metadata including chain identifier as 'xai', market sector as 'blockchains_l3' (indicating Layer 3 blockchain), and business segment as 'blockchain'. Set product identifier as null since this is a chain-level metric.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (daily boundary), `contracts_deployed` (daily count), chain and sector classification fields

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: Apply the finalize metric macro for contracts deployed with 'fill_zeros' strategy to ensure consistent time series formatting
- **Currency conversion**: Not applicable for this count-based metric
- **Time aggregation**: Daily aggregation using timestamp truncation to day boundaries
- **Final calculation**: The final metric value is the count of unique contract deployments per day, with zero values filled for days with no deployments, filtered by chain data availability periods and capped at August 22, 2025
