Lack of Transparency: Many critical financial indicators are calculated using limited data points with archaic methodologies by opaque governing bodies, making it difficult to verify or challenge the data.

Data Ownership and Control: Conventional economic data systems store information on centralized servers, leaving users with little to no control over or insight into the data they rely on for critical financial decisions.

Accuracy and Timeliness: Traditional inflation metrics often lag behind real-world economic conditions, potentially leading to misinformed financial decisions.

Censorship Resistance: Centralized economic data sources are vulnerable to manipulation or censorship, which can have far-reaching consequences for global markets.

Securing On-chain Integrity: Ensuring the decentralization and integrity of crucial data feeds supporting DeFi smart contracts presented a complex engineering hurdle.

Open Data Layer: Truflation created a transparent and verifiable decentralized data system, allowing anyone to access financial data, calculate their own metrics, and challenge existing calculations.

Decentralized Storage with Kwil: At the heart of Truflation's solution is Kwil's decentralized database, which provides secure, transparent, and censorship-resistant data storage and computation.

Comprehensive Data Aggregation: Truflation aggregates data from over 30 sources and more than 13 million data points, ensuring a broad and accurate representation of economic conditions.

Faster Data: The system provides real-time updates to inflation metrics, offering a more timely and precise picture of economic trends compared to traditional monthly reports.

Blockchain Integration: Truflation leverages blockchain technology to ensure the immutability and verifiability of economic data.

Improved Data Diversity: Truflation enables users to contribute data and create custom inflation calculations, fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive economic analysis ecosystem.

Permissionless and Censorship Resistant: Kwil's decentralized nature ensures that data remains accessible and tamper-proof, critical for maintaining the integrity of economic metrics.

SQL Compatibility: Kwil's SQL-based smart contract language allows for complex data operations while maintaining the benefits of decentralization.

Scalability: Kwil's architecture can handle the vast amounts of data required for accurate economic analysis.

Private and Public Data: Kwil's features allow Truflation to balance open access to public data with the need to protect proprietary data sources.

Customizable Smart Contracts: Truflation uses Kwil's smart contract language, Kuneiform, to enable users to add their own data to the Truflation Stream Network, to compose with existing data, and be rewarded for their contributions.

Blockchain Layer: Truflation integrates with multiple blockchain networks to provide widespread access to its inflation data across various Web3 platforms.

Decentralized Storage: Kwil's decentralized SQL database forms the backbone of Truflation's data storage solution.

Data Aggregation: Advanced algorithms collect and process data from numerous sources to calculate accurate inflation metrics.
