# CM Labs

[CM Labs](https://coinmetrics.io/cm-labs/) is a place for our pioneering team to experiment. Here, you'll find associate passion projects, fun prototypes, test products/features and cutting edge efforts that are experimental in nature. Many of our most popular commercial products have their roots in these innovative, community-first efforts.

While CM Labs products and features are very cool, for one reason or another, we are not quite ready to incorporate them into our mainstream product offerings.

## Identification of CM Labs Efforts

In addition to the projects and prototypes you'll find on our CM Labs [site](https://coinmetrics.io/cm-labs/), you will also notice certain metrics and assets (e.g., ICP) flagged in our tools as CM Labs.

This flag also exists in our catalogs. Experimental assets/metrics with have `"experimental": true` in the array of objects returned for that asset/metric.

    "asset" : "icp",

      } ]
```

While we obviously feel there is value in making these experimental assets/metrics available, please exercise caution given their experimental nature.

## Examples of Labs Efforts

Below are some examples of Labs efforts:

* Experimental on-chain asset coverage in NDP and Atlas (e.g., ICP, DOT, ALGO, XTZ)
* DeFi Market Data (i.e., Uniswap and Sushiswap swaps, liquidity pool metadata, candles, and volume metrics)
* Farum Risk Management offerings (e.g., Mining Pool Monitor (`/mining-pool-tips-summary`), Reorg & Fork Tracker (`/asset-chains`)
* Flat Files Delivery System
