- Chainlink and the U.S. Commerce Department will publish BEA GDP, PCE and final sales data on-chain with monthly or quarterly updates.
- Feeds launch across Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic and ZKsync.
Chainlink said it is working with the U.S. Department of Commerce to publish Bureau of Economic Analysis data on public blockchains. The initial release covers real GDP, the PCE price index and real final sales to private domestic purchasers, with updates on monthly or quarterly schedules. Industry watchers, including WuBlockchain, highlighted the update on social platforms.
DOC collaboration routes BEA GDP and PCE data to Chainlink oracles
The feeds transmit benchmark indicators from the BEA to decentralised oracle networks operated by Chainlink. Developers and institutions can reference figures for inflation and output that mirror official publications without scraping web portals or relying on private intermediaries.
The scope includes levels and percentage changes for real gross domestic product, personal consumption expenditures prices and final sales to domestic private purchasers. Chainlink said the datasets will maintain the timing of official BEA releases and will be aligned with subsequent revisions.
Ten networks receive feeds with monthly and quarterly cadences
Chainlink stated that the service launches across ten ecosystems. The list comprises Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic and ZKsync.
Additional networks may be added subject to user demand. The distribution uses Chainlink cross chain infrastructure so that the same reference values are available to applications running on different execution environments.
Protocol teams can wire these records into interest rate models, risk engines for collateral management and settlement logic for tokenised instruments.
Chainlink partners with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) to bring macroeconomic data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on-chain, including real GDP, PCE price index, and final sales to domestic private purchasers. Updated monthly or quarterly, the data will…

Potential applications include inflation linked coupons, growth indexed structured products and automated rebalancing rules that react to GDP and PCE updates.
Chainlink said the delivery path uses independent node operators that fetch, attest and post values to the designated networks in order to provide redundancy. The company added that feeds will include identifiers and metadata so that applications can track vintages and handle updates deterministically.
The initiative extends outreach by Chainlink to public bodies during 2025. It formalises a path for government origin data to be integrated with on chain settlement mechanisms in a way that preserves provenance.
Chainlink said governance and commercial terms would evolve with demand across networks and that additional datasets could be introduced. Market participants will watch for how model builders treat revisions and seasonal adjustments and how cost differences across chains affect adoption.
At the time of press, Chainlink (LINK) has seen modest movement in the past 24 hours: the current price is $24.02, reflecting a decrease of $0.12, or –0.50%, from the prior close.
