Secure, Aggregated Market Data
Chainlink market and data feeds are decentralized oracle networks that provide aggregated financial market data. These purpose-built price feeds provide broad market coverage across a wide array of assets.

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.
