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.
DONs
Each DON is customizable, empowering users to pick specific node operators and data sources, the level of decentralization, the type of computation performed, the update frequency, the blockchain it’s deployed on, and various other optimizations that align with the user’s own budget, performance requirements, privacy needs, and trust assumptions.

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.

Off-Chain
Off-chain refers to transactions that happen outside of a blockchain. Off-chain transactions are characterized by zero to low costs and are gaining significant popularity among blockchain developers.
On-Chain
On-chain refers to transactions that occur on or within any given blockchain.
Open source
Oracle

Oracle contract
The on-chain component of an Oracle. The Oracle Contract is the interface through which Consuming Contracts pass and receive data with off-chain resources.
Oracle node

Service level agreements (SLAs)
Smart contracts
Smart contracts are programs deployed on blockchains that store and transfer data/assets only once specific conditions are met (i.e. if x event happens, then execute y action).
