- Processing Pipeline & Sourcing: We ingest a continuous stream of events from major EVM networks (including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon), Solana, and other key chains. This on-chain data is enriched with real-time market data (including CEX order book depth and liquidity profiles) and off-chain context from a wide array of social APIs, including Twitter/X, Farcaster, Lens Protocol, Discord, and Reddit. This creates a holistic, 360-degree view of the market environment for any given asset.
- Validation & Guardrails: Raw data is systematically cleansed and validated before it enters our reasoning layer. We have built-in guardrails to handle common data integrity challenges:
- Chain Reorganizations: We maintain a state buffer and only commit data after it has reached a chain-specific confirmation threshold (e.g., 6 blocks for Ethereum), preventing analysis based on transient, orphaned blocks.
- Oracle Outliers & Price Manipulation: Our system cross-references multiple price feeds (e.g., Chainlink, Pyth, CEX feeds) and uses a trimmed mean or median price to discard anomalous, transient spikes that could trigger false signals or reflect flash loan-based price manipulation.
- Social Spam & Inauthentic Activity: Our proprietary NLP models are trained to detect bot-like language patterns, coordinated inauthentic behavior (CIB), and low-credibility sources. Signals are dynamically weighted based on the author’s historical accuracy, engagement quality, and network influence, ensuring our AI reasons from a clean, credible foundation.
- Horizontal Scaling & High Availability: Our backend is built on a microservices architecture orchestrated by Kubernetes, allowing for the automated, demand-based scaling of individual components. Running in a multi-region, multi-cloud configuration ensures high availability and disaster recovery, providing uninterrupted service and low latency for our global user base.
- Advanced Caching Strategy: We employ a multi-layer caching strategy to deliver exceptional performance. A CDN caches static assets at the edge, while a distributed in-memory cache (Redis) holds frequently accessed hot data like current prices and wallet balances. This architecture ensures our p99 latency for critical API calls remains under 100ms.
Predictive Insights
Beyond real-time monitoring, Zonein is engineered to provide forward-looking, predictive insights that are crucial for strategic decision-making. Methodology Our predictive models represent a hybrid AI system that combines several specialized model families to generate high-fidelity, explainable insights:- Graph Neural Networks (GNNs): These models excel at modeling the complex relationships between wallets, tracing capital flows across multiple hops, and identifying influential clusters (e.g., “smart money,” VCs, project insiders).
- Transformer-based Language Models: Custom-tuned on crypto-native language, these models analyze social sentiment, developer forum discussions, governance proposals, and technical documentation to extract thematic shifts and narrative momentum.
- Temporal Convolutional Networks (TCNs): These models are designed to identify subtle, time-dependent patterns in market and on-chain data streams (price, volume, transaction frequency) that are often precursors to changes in volatility or trend.
- Early Opportunity Identification: Example: Detecting a 30% increase in developer commits on GitHub for a low-cap protocol, combined with a gradual increase in wallet accumulation from wallets known to be early investors in successful L2s, long before the narrative hits mainstream social media.
- Proactive Risk Management: Example: Flagging that 70% of a token’s DEX liquidity is provided by a single multi-sig wallet that has just added a new, unknown signer, indicating a potential rug pull risk or a significant, unannounced change in governance.
- Enhanced Due Diligence: Example: An AI-generated research report that automatically identifies and flags that a project’s claimed Total Value Locked (TVL) is being artificially inflated through recursive lending and borrowing loops—a critical vulnerability hidden deep within complex on-chain transaction logs.
