When a major news event breaks — an earnings surprise, a political announcement, a last-minute injury report — prediction market prices can move dramatically in seconds. Being 30 seconds late means seeing stale data.
How Evens Stays Current
Our sync pipeline runs on configurable intervals, with the highest-volume markets refreshing most frequently. Price changes are pushed to your browser in real-time via WebSocket connections, so you see movement as it happens.
On the interface, price changes are highlighted with color-coded animations:
- Green flash — price moved up since your last view
- Red flash — price moved down
- Directional arrows — indicate the trend direction
Historical Price Data
Beyond real-time tracking, Evens stores historical price snapshots for every market reference. This enables price charts, trend analysis, and historical comparisons — features available on individual market pages and through the API.
Performance by Design
The Evens frontend is built for speed. Pages render server-side for instant first paint, with progressive enhancement for live data. No heavy JavaScript frameworks — just fast, responsive HTML with targeted interactivity where it matters.
