# Data Freshness

> Understand how frequently Prism updates and synchronizes EVM datasets.

At Prism, data is continuously updated and refreshed through a multi-pipeline architecture. This ensures that the data is always up to date, accurate, and reliable.

Unlike a single-chain API, wall-clock freshness on EVM depends on the chain. Each pipeline advances on a fixed **block** cadence, so the same dataset lands faster on a chain with shorter block times. Use the table below to understand the cadence, then convert to seconds using the block time of the chain you are querying.

## DEX

| Dataset           | Ingestion Latency |
| ----------------- | ----------------- |
| Swaps             | 5 blocks          |
| Trades            | 1 block           |
| Prices            | 1 block           |
| Pools             | 1 block           |
| Wallet Profiles   | 26 blocks         |
| Token Profiles    | 26 blocks         |
| Position Profiles | 26 blocks         |

## Assets

| Dataset   | Ingestion Latency |
| --------- | ----------------- |
| Transfers | 5 blocks          |

**Ingestion Latency:** The number of blocks the pipeline waits before a batch is processed and made available.

<Note>
  Profiles are recomputed on a rolling cycle rather than per block, so a profile
  reflects all trades up to the most recent completed cycle. Trades, prices and
  pools are the lowest-latency datasets and are the right choice when you need
  to react to activity immediately.
