About our data:

Blockdata has three channels of data in-flow which are used to keep our platform up-to-date.



1. Blockdata’s automated data intake.
2. Blockdata’s manual research methods and data input
3. Vendors that submit data via various forms provided by Blockdata



These channels are utilized to provide users with a comprehensive dataset. Blockdata platform aims to be the “first port of call” should you wish you conduct research on a specific secor and/or project in the DLT ecosystem



For any particular comments or inquiries about our data collection methods, please reach out to data@blockdata.tech.



Paid data sections:

All core data fields go through a standard Blockdata data-vetting process however, companies are able to ‘upgrade’ certain sections of their profile with added information via a paid offering. These specific fields are designed to enable an organisation to “show off their product” but they are clearly marked so users are able to deduce which information is part of this paid offering.





FAQ

In all cases data is checked by at least 1 person before going live into the platform. What does ‘checking’ mean?

We use our knowledge of the ecosystem to try and understand the product so it passes a ‘plausibility’ test, we will then cross reference material that we can find on the internet and within our own platform to validate if the claims are indeed true.

In some cases, we may ask companies to provide proof of certain data points.



What if I find something that is wrong?

Please let us know and we will correct the data if applicable and investigate how the mistake happened. We always know which of our team members put in data so we can backtrack to that point.



What system do you use?

We have our own custom built data administration that keeps a track of all of the data points, as well as audit functionality to make sure data is checked before going live. This ensures we have full and final control over everything that is shown.

Fun fact: Blockdata was founded in Airtable, so our back end admin slightly reflects that!



Do you get/give data from/to CBInsights?

Yes we do, on a frequent basis we will exchange data with CBInsights (our parent organisation) to ensure we are not doing double work and enrich each other’s datasets.
