Real-Time Processing Pipeline

The real-time processing pipeline is the heart of Market Blade’s ability to deliver instant sentiment insights. Operating at a throughput of 2000 tokens per second, and therefore 800,000 per one request batch, the pipeline is designed to handle the velocity and volume of X data while maintaining low latency. Below is a detailed breakdown of its stages:

1

Data Acquisition

Incoming X posts are fetched via a proprietary data-gathering solution with enterprise-grade capabilities, prioritized by relevance (e.g., posts containing asset-specific keywords or hashtags). The system’s advanced architecture ensures seamless processing of high-volume data, dynamically handling excess requests without constraints to maintain continuous, real-time flow.

2

Pre-processing

Raw text undergoes normalization—lowercasing, removal of special characters, and tokenization—followed by a noise filter. The filter uses a pre-trained BERT-based classifier to discard low-value content (e.g., spam, bots) with 92% accuracy, trained on a labeled dataset of 10,000 X posts evaluated by top-tier models for the training dataset.

3

Feature Extractio

Each post is vectorized using a custom transformer model fine-tuned on crypto-specific discourse. Features include syntactic patterns, semantic embeddings (512-dimensional vectors), and metadata (e.g., engagement metrics, account age). This step runs on GPU-accelerated tensor operations, achieving a batch processing speed of 500 posts per second.

4

Sentiment Scoring

Extracted features feed into the core AI model (detailed in Section 3), which computes scores across 36 behavioral precursor parameters and distills them into 18 key sentiments. Scores are normalized on a 0-50 scale and adjusted by the weight of each feature, additionally multiplied by contextual and meta-data coefficient

5

Aggregation and Output

Sentiment scores are aggregated into time-series buckets (e.g., 1-minute intervals) and cross-referenced with historical data. Results are cached in Redis for sub-100ms retrieval and pushed to the front-end via WebSocket connections.

The pipeline’s efficiency stems from its asynchronous design, leveraging Python’s asyncio library and a custom task scheduler. Stress tests demonstrate stability under 500 parallel requests, with an average end-to-end latency of 3.5 seconds from data ingestion to visualization.
