# Data Foundations

> Falcon continuously collects, cleans, and normalizes data from multiple prediction market platforms and social sources.

## Data sources

Polymarket

Live

Real-time markets, order flow, and resolution data from the largest crypto-native prediction market.

Kalshi

Live

Regulated event contracts and structured market metadata, normalized into the same schema as other venues.

Social media

Live

Narrative and attention signals around markets, correlated back to instruments and wallets where possible.

Expanding coverage

Additional venues and alternative data feeds are added on a rolling basis. If you need a specific source, contact the team through the dashboard or Discord.

## Collection process

<ul>
  <li>Autonomous agents maintain persistent connections (WebSockets and scheduled polling) per venue.</li>
  <li>Raw payloads are validated, deduplicated, and mapped into Falcon's unified schema.</li>
  <li>Downstream enrichment (analytics, wallet graphs, market quality) runs on every material update.</li>
</ul>

## Data freshness

Most market-moving fields are updated continuously; API responses reflect the latest successful ingest cycle, not a nightly batch export.

Why this matters

Prediction markets move on seconds-scale information. Falcon is built as an execution layer so your apps read live state without operating separate scrapers or reconciliation jobs.
