Total cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	498,353	$	268,666	$	229,687	$	—

The Company classifies its money market funds, which are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets, with no valuation adjustment, as Level 1 assets within the fair value hierarchy.

Marketable securities consist of corporate debt securities, U.S. government debt securities, and U.S. Treasury securities, all of which are classified as available-for-sale pursuant to ASC 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities. Marketable securities are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy because pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined using models or other valuation methodologies on a recurring basis.

There have been no transfers between fair value levels during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
