Data Collection Methods

Hashlink’s AI-driven regulation system relies on robust data collection methods and a diverse set of data types to train, refine, and operate effectively. Below is an overview of how data is collected and what data is utilized:


Data Collection Methods

  1. On-Chain Monitoring

    • How: Directly monitors transactions, smart contract interactions, and token movements on the blockchain.

    • Why: Provides accurate, real-time insights into player behavior, market activity, and token flow.

  2. Game Server Integration

    • How: SDKs integrated into game servers collect gameplay data, such as player activity, inventory management, and transaction histories.

    • Why: Captures player-level data not inherently available on-chain, offering deeper insights into in-game economic interactions.

  3. Marketplace Analytics

    • How: Tracks item listings, sales, pricing trends, and liquidity within in-game marketplaces.

    • Why: Analyzes player-driven market dynamics and item valuation.

  4. User Behavior Tracking

    • How: Aggregates non-identifiable metadata like session durations, player progression, and engagement metrics via game SDKs.

    • Why: Identifies behavioral patterns that influence economic trends.

  5. External Data Sources

    • How: Integrates external datasets such as exchange rates for cryptocurrencies, player sentiment analysis, and global market trends.

    • Why: Adds context to economic activity, particularly for games with cross-platform or real-world economy integrations.

  6. Feedback Loops

    • How: Incorporates feedback from players and developers via APIs, bug reports, and Discord support tickets.

    • Why: Enhances model accuracy by incorporating qualitative insights.


Data Types Collected

  1. Economic Data

    • Token minting and burning events

    • Marketplace transactions (item trades, buy/sell prices, auction data)

    • Token velocity (rate of token circulation in the game economy)

  2. Player Activity Data

    • Number of active players and session durations

    • Player inventory details (e.g., items, currencies)

    • Transaction data (peer-to-peer trades, purchases, loot distribution)

  3. Market Dynamics

    • Item price fluctuations

    • Rarity and demand statistics for in-game assets

    • Liquidity metrics within the marketplace

  4. Behavioral Data

    • Spending patterns (frequency and volume of in-game purchases)

    • Player progression trends (leveling up, resource gathering, asset hoarding)

    • Player retention and churn rates

  5. Performance Metrics

    • Latency in processing transactions

    • Success rates of tokenomic adjustments

    • Economic health indicators (e.g., inflation/deflation rates)

  6. External Contextual Data

    • Cryptocurrency price trends (if the game’s economy interacts with external markets)

    • Global gaming industry trends

    • Sentiment analysis from social media and forums


By aggregating and processing these data types through secure and privacy-compliant methods, Hashlink’s AI model continuously evolves. It remains responsive to changing dynamics, providing developers with the most accurate and actionable insights for optimizing their in-game economies.
