In depth
The history of Chainlinks market and data feeds can be broken out into specific contract-based milestones. The first contract iteration, Runlog ran its first Ethereum mainnet job on the May 29, 2019. Runlog was followed by Flux monitors, the first of which was deployed on August 06, 2020. Nine months later, (06 May 21), saw the deployment of the latest iteration of Chainlinks market and data feed contracts, the OCR (Offchain reporting) contracts.

Chainlink Price Feeds are on-chain reference contracts that are automatically updated by decentralized oracle networks (DONs) consisting of Chainlink nodes. Each reference contract stores the latest and the historical price of an asset in the form of an exchange rate (e.g. BTC/USD), which smart contracts can then query on-demand. Each Chainlink Price Feed runs on a specific blockchain network and regularly updates with fresh data based on predefined parameters. [1]
- Deviation threshold - A new data aggregation round starts when a Chainlink node identifies that an off-chain data value deviates by more than the defined deviation threshold from its on-chain value.
- Heartbeat threshold - A new data aggregation round starts after a specified amount of time from the last update. If the deviation threshold is not reached within the time of the heartbeat, the feed will be updated. [2]
Use cases
- Provide broad market coverage across a wide array of assets including cryptocurrencies, commodities, forex, indices, and more.
- DEX protocols can use Chainlink Price Feeds for reliable price conversions, accurate display prices on a frontend, or the secure calculation of staking rewards and fee distributions to stakeholders.
- Help ensure the security and accuracy of price monitoring and financial analysis infrastructure. [3]
- Help create and manage arbitrage strategies between different decentralized exchanges. [4]
