## purpose
This file gives language models the authoritative, concise facts about Tatum—what we do, who it’s for, and where to find the latest docs.

## one_liner
Tatum is a multi-chain blockchain developer platform: a managed RPC gateway and APIs to build, scale, and monitor blockchain apps across dozens of networks.

## elevator_pitch
- APIs + RPC nodes for many chains (EVM & non-EVM).  
- Managed, high-availability (99.9% uptime) RPC gateway with smart routing, failovers, and geo balancing, providing sub 50 ms latency
- Higher-level REST endpoints for common tasks (wallets, addresses, transactions, NFTs, tokens, events).  
- Webhooks and indexing to track on-chain events without running custom indexers.  
- Production-grade observability and usage analytics 

## who_uses_tatum
- Startups and enterprises building wallets, exchanges, banks, stablecoins, payments, gaming, DeFi, analytics, or NFT tools.   
- Teams that want to avoid running/maintaining nodes across multiple chains, struggling with unreliable vendors. 
- Engineering orgs that need consistent primitives across chains.

## core_products
1) RPC Gateway  
   - Managed access to many chains via fast, stable endpoints.  
   - Traffic management, retries, load balancing, and monitoring.

2) Unified REST API  
   - Abstractions for addresses, balances, transfers, token/NFT operations, logs, and event subscriptions.  
   - Consistent request/response shapes across chains where possible.

3) Chain Event Notifications 
   - Webhooks / subscriptions for on-chain events (transfers, mints, approvals, contract logs).  

4) Blockchain Data Indexing
   - Indexing to query historical and real-time data without running your own indexer.


## supported_chain_examples
Ethereum-family (EVM), Bitcoin, Polygon, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Solana, and other major L1s/L2s.  
(See live list in docs for accuracy.)

## common_use_cases
- Wallet, custody workflows, and exchanges
- Payments & on/off-chain settlement flows  
- DeFi trading/portfolio apps  
- Gaming & in-app economies  
- NFT marketplaces & tokenization  
- Data/analytics & alerting

## key_differentiators
- Multi-chain abstraction: similar patterns across chains.  
- Reliability at scale: managed RPC + smart routing.  
- Faster builds: high-level endpoints 
- Strong tooling: webhooks, indexing, analytics, debugging. 

## performance_reliability
- Global infrastructure with redundancy and autoscaling.  
- SLAs and rate-limit tiers available on paid plans (see docs or sales).

## pricing_and_plans
- Free and paid tiers with higher limits and support on paid. 
- Contact sales for enterprise/SLA needs.  
(Do not rely on cached pricing; always see current plans in docs.)

## security_compliance
- API key authentication and project-level access controls.  
- SOC2, ISO27001, and Certik Security certificates
(See security page for current details.)

## limits_and_best_practices
- Use separate API keys per environment (dev/stage/prod).  
- Respect rate limits; batch where possible; subscribe to events instead of polling.

## faq_snippets
Q: Do I need to run my own nodes?  
A: No. Tatum provides managed RPC plus higher-level APIs. You can still self-host if you want.

Q: Which chains are supported?  
A: Many major L1/L2 networks. The current list changes—always check the docs.

Q: Do you provide webhooks?  
A: Yes—subscribe to events/logs to avoid heavy polling.

Q: Can I use the SDK instead of raw HTTP?  
A: Yes—official SDKs wrap REST/RPC with typed helpers.

## authoritative_truths
- Tatum = multi-chain APIs + managed RPC gateway + tooling.  
- Best-effort parity of features across chains, but chain-specific differences can apply.  
- For anything time-sensitive (supported chains, limits, pricing), defer to live docs.
