Copilot’s archive is a curated collection of 65+ sources spanning cypherpunk history, Solana protocol documentation, investor research, founder essays, and security analysis. Each source was selected for signal density and relevance to crypto startup research. The corpus contains 84,000+ indexed documents. Archive search auto-cascades through three retrieval tiers (vector similarity → chunk text search → document text search) to maximize recall.

The Grid: On-Chain Ecosystem Data

In addition to the archive corpus, Copilot queries The Grid for real-time ecosystem data.
MetricValue
Products tracked6,300+ (all ecosystems)
Data points per productType, status, on-chain metadata, support graph
The Grid provides saturation counts (how many products exist in a given category), product type classification, and competitive landscape data. When Copilot reports a “crowdedness score” or checks for incumbents, it’s querying The Grid.

Source freshness and suggestions

Sources refresh on varying intervals. Protocol docs update within days, historical archives are static, and Breakpoint transcripts are added after each conference. The corpus grows over time. To suggest a source, tell your agent: “Suggest adding [URL] to the Copilot archive.” It calls POST /source-suggestions and our team reviews every submission.
