Building the Knowledge Continuum for Better Crypto

AI - Turning Raw Data Into Meaningful Data.

In crypto, high-quality, instantly accessible data isn’t just a nice-to-have… it’s essential. It’s what powers everything from DeFi protocols managing billions in assets to NFT marketplaces and decentralized supply chains. As it moves forward with AI and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, the need for reliable, real-time data is greater than ever.

But here’s the thing, crypto data isn’t easy to manage. Networks produce massive amounts of raw, unstructured data (every day). Without a way to clean and organize it, data quickly turns from valuable to overwhelming. And in crypto, if data quality is poor, even the best analytics and AI models will deliver poor results. This is why well-designed data pipelines and knowledge graphs are crucial. They let us turn raw data into connected, actionable insights so users aren’t just swimming in information but actually making smarter moves.

A Crypto Dilemma… Why Raw Data Isn’t Enough

Crypto networks are data-generating machines. Every transaction, every smart contract interaction, every token transfer, all of it adds to a huge data pool spanning everything from DeFi and NFTs to tokenized assets and supply chains. Sounds like a data dream, right? Well, not exactly. Most of this data is raw and unstructured, making it nearly useless without serious cleanup.

To be valuable, crypto data needs to be standardized, accurate, and instantly accessible. This means setting up systems to process it in real-time so that insights are timely and trustworthy. Plus, data in crypto often exists across different chains, which means you need interoperability to see the full picture. In traditional tech, data is siloed within companies, but in crypto, where everything from assets to agreements is on-chain, we have a chance to make data flow much more smoothly across ecosystems.


The Four Vs of Big Data in Crypto

The challenges associated with handling crypto-related data can be better understood through the lens of Big Data's Four Vs:

Volume

Crypto data generation is relentless. Every chain, especially high-activity ones like Ethereum, contributes huge amounts of data. Handling this volume efficiently is essential, especially for LYS as we process everything in real-time.

Velocity

In crypto, speed is everything. Data has to be processed the moment it’s generated, especially in high-stakes environments like DeFi, where delays can mean missed opportunities.

Variety

Crypto data comes in all shapes and forms, from structured transaction logs to semi-structured contract interactions and even unstructured posts on social media.

Veracity

In a decentralized space, accuracy can be a challenge, especially with on-chain quirks like reorgs or forks that can disrupt data validity.


Turning Raw Data into Actionable Insights with Deep Data Pipelines

Deep data pipelines are essential for efficient on-chain data flow, moving huge amounts of information from source to endpoint while keeping data safe, accurate, timely, and accessible. These pipelines manage several core functions, from ingestion and processing to storage and analysis.

In crypto, data latency is a massive factor. Pipelines need to operate at near-real-time speed, processing high transaction volumes and maintaining consistency across networks. This requires infrastructure capable of handling thousands of transactions per second, ensuring that insights are fresh and reliable.

Here’s where LYS Protocol’s pipeline stands out. It’s designed to collect, clean, decode and structure crypto data at lightning speed, processing it within a single block (12-15 seconds). But it’s not just about speed. LYS takes raw data, checks it for errors, standardizes it across networks, and makes sure it’s ready for analysis. And this isn’t just useful for one-off insights. With a clean data pipeline, everything from institutional investors to protocols can make decisions with confidence because the data is fresh, reliable, and organized.


Knowledge Graphs in Crypto Data Management

Once data is clean, you need to make it meaningful. This is where knowledge graphs can help out. Instead of treating data points as isolated bits of information, knowledge graphs connect them, mapping out relationships between wallets, tokens, contracts, and more. This creates a network of insights, giving users a richer, more overall interconnected view.

Knowledge graphs are particularly valuable in crypto because they’re dynamic. As new data comes in, the graph updates, letting you track everything in real-time. They’re also fast and flexible, making it possible to answer complex questions quickly. For instance, if a hedge fund wants to analyze liquidity flows across chains to spot yield opportunities or potential risks, a knowledge graph can deliver those insights in seconds.

Better Fraud Detection and Anomaly Spotting

The interconnected nature of knowledge graphs isn’t just useful for analysis, it’s also a powerful tool for detecting fraud and anomalies. If something unusual happens, like a sudden change in wallet behavior or a spike in transaction volume, the graph can flag it immediately. This level of monitoring is essential for maintaining stability and trust, especially in DeFi and cross-chain applications.


Real-World Impacts

With reliable, real-time data and knowledge graphs, crypto isn’t just transforming DeFi. It’s reaching into areas as diverse as supply chains, asset tokenization, and other financial services.

Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization

Tokenizing real-world assets (think real estate or commodities) brings transparency to ownership and trading. Knowledge graphs make this possible by offering a real-time, auditable record of ownership, value, and transactions. Imagine being able to track every change in ownership of a tokenized asset instantly, with the record updated on the graph. That’s the level of transparency knowledge graphs make possible.

Decentralized Supply Chain Management

Supply chains are all about tracking products from origin to destination. In a decentralized system, this tracking has to be both accurate and fraud-proof. Knowledge graphs enable that by mapping each step of the journey and flagging any unusual patterns, like counterfeit goods or delivery delays.

Financial Services in Crypto

In DeFi, knowledge graphs combined with deep data pipelines support real-time risk assessment. They let protocols monitor fund flows, check borrower activity, and manage risk dynamically. For financial institutions, this means more stability, better compliance, and access to predictive insights that can guide smarter decisions.
