    Latency

    On-Chain Latency

    In order to compute on-chain data, a number block confirmations are required before fetching the data for a given block. Measured in time:

    • Bitcoin - Around 30 minutes
    • Ethereum - Around 5 minutes
    • Bitcoin Cash - Around 5 minutes
    • Litecoin - Around 5 minutes
    • Binance Chain - Around 5 minutes
    • XRPL Chain - Around 5 minutes

    After the block is considered confirmed and its data is fetched, the data processing can take anywhere from a few minutes to few hours. The upper limits are:

    • For 5-minute interval metrics processing the data can take up to 20 minutes most
    • For daily metrics processing the data can take up to 2 hours

    Social Data Latency

    Each one of the social data source:

    • Telegram
    • Reddit
    • Bitcointalk
    • Twitter

    is being processed separately and usually doesn't take longer than 1 minute.

    The emerging trends are computed once per hour so they become available a few minutes after every round hour

    Funding Rates Latency

    The funding rates are updated every 15 minutes

    Price Latency

    The prices are updated every 5 minutes

    Development Activity Latency

    The development activity metrics are updated every 1 hour with max delays of 6 hours
