Overview

How live data works

Where the numbers come from, when they are cached, and what happens when a source is unavailable.

Every figure Molthood reports about a subject was fetched from a live source during the run that produced it. Nothing is seeded, sampled, or filled in from a previous analysis.

Independent sources

Several sources are consulted per run, and they are independent on purpose: a figure confirmed by two is stronger than a figure asserted by one, and a disagreement between them is itself a finding.

Sources are named by the role they play — chain explorer, chain node, market data, security screening — rather than by supplier. A supplier can be replaced; the role is the part that matters to you, and every finding still carries the link you can check it against.

Freshness

Chain state moves continuously. Robinhood Chain produces blocks roughly ten times a second, so a block height is stale the moment it is printed. Figures derived from it — balances, holder counts, liquidity — are accurate as of the run, not as of now.

Repeated identical analyses share a result for a short window rather than re-running. This is why a second request returns instantly, and why re-checking something you just checked will not show a change that happened seconds ago.

When a source is unavailable

The run continues. The step that depended on that source produces an unknown, the report says which check did not run and why, and the score becomes a ceiling rather than a value.
