History Has Layers 🔍

A blockchain transaction tells you what happened.

But understanding why a financial position changed can require looking at several events together.

Consider a lending position that was liquidated.

The transaction confirms the liquidation occurred.

But a deeper analysis might need to examine:

🔹 Earlier collateral deposits

🔹 Changes in the recorded debt balance

🔹 Relevant price observations

🔹 The liquidation conditions applied at that time

Those details can exist across different records and data sources.

This is where specialized data infrastructure becomes important.

Space and Time allows developers to work with structured datasets and independently verify supported calculations through Proof of SQL.

For an ecosystem like $LINK which focuses on connecting smart contracts with external information, this highlights a complementary challenge.

Delivering data is one part of the equation.

Analyzing historical records and verifying the resulting computations is another.

I believe the next generation of financial applications will need both.

Because a transaction is an event.

Understanding the full sequence requires data.
