Overview
- Chainlink re‑announced the live rollout on September 1, 2026, making six Bureau of Economic Analysis feeds available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, Botanix, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic and ZKsync.
- The six streams cover three BEA measures — real GDP, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers — with each offered as a level and an annualized quarter‑over‑quarter change.
- All feeds update on the BEA’s existing monthly or quarterly publication schedule and do not publish official figures before the government releases them.
- Chainlink says its feed infrastructure holds ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 2 Type 1 attestation, which document infrastructure controls but do not eliminate smart‑contract, integration or market risks for applications that consume the data.
- The Commerce Department began placing BEA data on blockchains in August 2025 by publishing a cryptographic hash and working with other providers and exchanges, and the program’s real-world effect now hinges on developer adoption and whether firms build inflation‑linked tokens, prediction markets, derivatives or risk models that use the onchain feeds.
