# Data types

## Decimals

All decimal data is represented as 256 bits decimals with 76 digits precision and 20 decimal digits.  \
Because this precision is higher than most tokens this allows us to transmit to user the exact numbers as received from the exchange without any rounding.&#x20;

Depending on the users need ( speed vs precision ) they can convert them to float either on the server side in the query on directly in their code once the data was received.&#x20;
