What exactly does TideMark publish on-chain?
TideMark publishes periodic hashes and snapshots of normalized public tide-gauge readings, giving anyone a permanent, independently auditable trail of sea-level data history pulled straight from public coastal monitoring networks.
Where does the underlying data come from?
Every reading traces back to publicly available national and intergovernmental tide-gauge and oceanographic monitoring networks — the same sources agencies and researchers already trust, now unified into one comparable, on-chain index.
What do I actually do with the TIDE token?
TIDE is your access key to the data-indexing micro-app. Use it to pull query credits and request on-chain snapshots, letting you interact directly and instantly with the global tide index.
Is TideMark only useful for one region?
Not at all — the index is built for worldwide coastal relevance, combining feeds from multiple countries so island nations, coastal cities, and research teams everywhere can compare data on equal footing.
Can anyone verify the data pipeline?
Yes. TideMark runs on open-source oracle scripts with an open methodology, so the full pulling, normalizing, and snapshotting process is built for independent review and community audit.
What languages does TideMark support?
The interface and documentation ship in English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, and Bahasa Indonesia at launch, with the community actively contributing further translations.
