About our data

Demo mode

When no paid/licensed provider API keys are configured, ZEVO runs on a deterministic demo dataset. Every market value is sample data generated from a fixed seed — it is stable, reproducible, and clearly labeled as demo everywhere it appears. Prices are not live, timestamps are the dataset anchor, and nothing in demo mode should be treated as real market data or financial advice.

Provenance

Every important external data point carries provenance: provider/source, external ID where applicable, fetch timestamp, update timestamp and status. Funding rounds show their source; market rows show their exchange and last update; news carries source attribution. The demo dataset itself is attributed to the ZEVO Demo Registry.

Integrity & licensing

• • We never scrape or republish proprietary third-party datasets. Live integration requires licensed APIs configured server-side via environment variables.
• • Currency and timestamps are normalized; UTC is stored internally; financial metrics are only computed from consistent units.
• • Unlocks, allocations and funding amounts are labeled with source; when unknown, they are marked as such rather than fabricated.
• • This is a research and analytics product. Nothing here is financial advice.

Going live

The provider layer accepts pluggable adapters (market, exchange, funding, token-unlock, news, on-chain). Set the matching API keys in your environment and the same ingestion pipeline — scheduled jobs, retries with backoff, deduplication, idempotent upserts, stale detection — feeds the platform from licensed providers.
