Three-org lineage

Superseded — repo now lives under oliver-zehentleitner, MIT-licensed.

Id: d136126d-6884-4523-90fd-967e3e402760 Type: decision Status: superseded Evidence: confirmed Source: git history Superseded by: https://github.com/oliver-zehentleitner/unicorn-binance-suite — 2749fc08-cdca-456b-a8bd-fd4b646ff64c — as of 2026-09-28

The repo’s earliest commits (from 2019-04, e.g. 562af8e) reference github.com/unicorn-data-analysis/unicorn-binance-websocket-api and an @unicorn-data.com author email — a pre-LUCIT identity, not a LUCIT-first origin like the framing used elsewhere might suggest. It moved to the LUCIT-Systems-and-Development org in 2022 (commits e5b82fc, b207c7a, both 2022-01-03), briefly switched to a proprietary LSOSL license in 2023-11 (commit 1c78b1f) — reverted back to MIT roughly 2.5 weeks later (2310d9b/9ee5aae) — and finally de-branded to oliver-zehentleitner in 2025-06. Residual cleanup (conda-forge migration, build_conda.yml removal, remaining org-URL references) continued into April 2026 (11ef2c3, 4212c7c).

Reason: LUCIT is no longer part of how this project is licensed, distributed, or supported. The LSOSL license switch itself appears to have been a short-lived experiment reverted quickly, not a lasting decision.

Confirmed: this repo was split out of unicorn-binance-websocket-api. This repo’s own initial commit (562af8e, 2019-04-04) is a fresh, empty repo (just LICENSE/README.md/.gitignore) — but its next few commits (e.g. ea33d69) already reference issue URLs under github.com/unicorn-data-analysis/unicorn-binance-websocket-api, i.e. the combined project this code originally lived in. The split itself is documented in the other repo’s history: unicorn-binance-websocket-api commit 04868179 (2019-04-30): “unicorn_fy bug, splitting unicorn_fy and websocket into 2 projects.” So the normalization logic and the WebSocket client were one project for the first few weeks, then split into today’s two repos.

orjson as the suite-wide JSON standard

orjson replaced ujson here, framed explicitly as a suite-wide standardization, not a per-repo preference. The same commit also fixed an unrelated bug: binance_websocket() had unicorn_fied containing a method reference instead of the actual version string.

Reason: consistency across the suite’s modules (see the parallel ujson→stdlib/orjson cleanups in the sibling REST-API and WebSocket-API repos) rather than a reason specific to this repo.
