In their own words
“When your data coming from 4,500 sources, they're going to disagree with the data coming from the other source. A meme coin with a price of $1 million and things like that does happen.”

- The company bootstrapped without venture funding after failed fundraising attempts during market downturns like FTX and Luna collapses forced monetization.
- Data synchronization across hundreds of exchanges presents the core technical challenge, requiring anomaly detection to filter manipulated prices from smaller venues.

- The company prioritizes building infrastructure independent of market trends rather than chasing short-term narratives like memecoins or tokenization waves.
