What does this haveno data represent?

This accounts for an aggregration of all publicly available data that we collect from the networks we can find, by some it may also be considered the most accurate price of Monero as it has been well-established that centralized exchanges might often fake their reserves essentially manipulating the price of of Monero at the same time, that's not to say that couldnt happen here too, it's just less likely, in terms of where the data comes from, for example if there is a fork of the original repository we will check the data there and make it available to the public here on this page or via the free API. The data will update once every 5 minutes as it involves some heavy background progressing to aggregate it all. The website serves no other function than data aggregation.
