Chain Metrics

Daily chain-level aggregates including transaction counts, active addresses, gas usage, and contract deployments.

10 tables.

TableChainNotable
agent.ethereum_chain_dailyEthereum
agent.base_chain_dailyBase
agent.arbitrum_chain_dailyArbitrum
agent.tempo_chain_dailyTempoExtended schema with stablecoin + fee + bridge metrics (see below)

Tempo also has more granular activity tables. All are ReplacingMergeTree — use FINAL — except tempo_fee_payments, which doesn't need it.

TableWhat it is
agent.tempo_daily_chain_statsDaily block/transaction counts, gas used, unique senders, contract deployments
agent.tempo_contract_calls_dailyDaily call count, unique callers, and gas per contract (split by call type)
agent.tempo_contract_deploymentsIndividual contract deployment events with deployer address
agent.tempo_fee_metrics_dailyDaily transaction fee metrics — totals, percentiles, sponsorship share, fee token split
agent.tempo_fee_paymentsIndividual fee payment events (payer, fee token, USD amount)
agent.tempo_user_cohortsWeekly cohort retention — cohort size, active users, retention rate

What's Included

Daily aggregates in the style of Artemis ez_metrics:

  • Transaction count
  • Active senders / receivers (HLL approximate, ~2% error)
  • Average gas price (Gwei)
  • Total native value transferred (ETH, not USD)
  • Contract deployments

Good to Know

  • Active address counts use HyperLogLog (uniq()) — approximately 2% error margin, not exact.
  • Native value transferred is in ETH, not USD — join with prices tables for valuation.
  • For L2s (Base, Arbitrum): gas price reflects L2 execution gas only, excludes L1 data posting fees.
  • Contract deployments on Base/Arbitrum are typically higher than Ethereum due to lower gas costs.

Tempo Chain Metrics Schema

agent.tempo_chain_daily has an extended schema with stablecoin, bridge, fee, and DEX metrics beyond the standard EVM columns.
