XDC Network

# XDC Network Revenue Methodology

## 1. Overview

XDC network revenue represents the total daily fees collected by the XDC Network blockchain from transaction processing. This metric captures the economic value generated by the network through gas fees paid by users for transaction execution. The calculation aggregates all transaction gas fees on the XDC blockchain, converts them to USD, and presents the result as daily network revenue.

## 2. Data sources

- **XDC blockchain transaction data**: Complete transaction records from the XDC Network blockchain including transaction hashes, addresses, gas consumption, gas prices, and timestamps
- **End-of-day price feeds**: XDC token price data used to convert native token fees to USD values

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Transaction data extraction
- **Purpose**: Extract relevant transaction information from XDC blockchain
- **Logic**: Raw XDC blockchain transactions are processed to extract key fields including block timestamps, transaction hashes, sender and receiver addresses, gas used, and gas prices. The native XDC token address is standardized and the chain identifier is set to 'xdc'
- **Key fields**: `block_timestamp`, `transaction_hash`, `from_address`, `to_address`, `gas_used`, `gas_price`, and hardcoded XDC token metadata

### Component B: Daily gas fee calculation
- **Purpose**: Calculate total daily gas fees in native XDC units
- **Logic**: For each transaction, gas fees are calculated by multiplying `gas_used` by `gas_price` and dividing by 1e18 to convert from wei to XDC units. These individual transaction fees are then aggregated by day using timestamp truncation to the day level, summed by token address and chain to get total daily network fees
- **Key fields**: `l1_gas_fee` (calculated as `gas_used * gas_price / 1e18`), `timestamp` (truncated to day), `token_address`, `chain`

### Component C: USD conversion and business categorization
- **Purpose**: Convert XDC-denominated fees to USD and add business metadata
- **Logic**: Daily gas fees in XDC are converted to USD using end-of-day price feeds for the XDC token. The data is structured with business categorization metadata including business line as 'blockchain', market sector as 'blockchains_l1', and business segment as 'blockchain'. Decimal precision is maintained during USD conversion
- **Key fields**: `fees` (USD-converted gas fees), `timestamp_grain` (set to 'day'), business categorization fields

### Component D: Fees metric standardization
- **Purpose**: Standardize fees data with proper schema and gap-filling
- **Logic**: The calculated USD fees are processed through standardization logic that validates data quality, ensures proper schema compliance, and fills any missing days with zero values. Business metadata is finalized with market sector as 'blockchains_l1', business segment as 'blockchain', and product ID as 'xdc'
- **Key fields**: `fees`, `timestamp`, `timestamp_grain`, `chain_id`, `market_sector_id`, `business_segment_id`, `product_id`

### Final aggregation
- **Combining components**: The standardized daily fees data flows directly into the revenue calculation
- **Currency conversion**: USD conversion occurs using end-of-day XDC token prices applied to the daily aggregated gas fees
- **Time aggregation**: Data is aggregated to daily boundaries using timestamp truncation, with gaps filled using zero values
- **Final calculation**: Revenue equals fees, creating a direct mapping where total daily gas fees collected by the XDC Network represent the network's daily revenue in USD
