Chainlink US economic data feeds now carry six official data streams across 10 public blockchains. The Department of Commerce uses Chainlink’s oracle network. It publishes growth, inflation, and private demand figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis in formats that smart contracts can read.
The six feeds cover three indicators. These are real GDP, the PCE Price Index, and real final sales to private domestic purchasers. Each indicator has one feed for its level and another for its annualized quarterly change.
The data is available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Chainlink said it could add more networks if users request support.

However, the feeds were first announced in August 2025. The Commerce Department worked with Chainlink and Pyth Network when the program began.
What Do Chainlink US Economic Data Feeds Measure?
Real GDP reflects the inflation-adjusted output of products and services within the USA. One feed provides data on the level in billions of chained 2017 dollars. The other one gives the seasonally adjusted annualized quarterly change.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index reflects price indices for products purchased by US citizens. It is used by the Federal Reserve as the main inflation indicator. It is considered when analyzing the success in reaching the 2% target.
The Personal Consumption Expenditure feeds provide information on the level of the index. It is based on the 2017 year. The annualized quarterly change is provided as well. The Bureau of Economic Analysis publishes the monthly data on the indicator.
Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers shows the inflation-adjusted private domestic purchases. It is calculated without including government purchases, exports, and inventory changes. It reflects the domestic private demand in more detail.
The first feed gives the level of the indicator in chained 2017 dollars. The second feed provides the annualized quarterly change. It is published together with the publication of the underlying data.
How Can Smart Contracts Use Government Data?
Oracle networks transform external information into a form suitable for processing by blockchains. Smart contracts are unable to pull data from government statistics independently.
Chainlink US economic data feeds may be useful for prediction markets, inflation-protected instruments, perpetual futures, and automated trading instruments. They may also be used for dashboard creation or decentralized finance risk setting updates following new release cycles.
The prediction market will use the quarterly GDP growth rate for settlement. An inflation-protected instrument may use the PCE index as an input parameter. A lending protocol may put private sector demand changes into a risk model.
Chainlink listed these applications as potential ones. They have not been identified as already available products via Commerce Department cooperation. The feeds do not also give early access to the data before government release.
How Does the Commerce Department Use Blockchain?
US economic data feeds by Chainlink are only one part of the program of the department’s blockchain project. In August 2025, the organization published Q2 GDP data for the USA in nine different blockchains, namely Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
It included the cryptographic hash of the report and the annualized rate of 3.3%. Coinbase, Gemini, and Kraken have helped spread the information. Meanwhile, Chainlink and Pyth provided other components of the project.
According to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the goal of the project was the global availability and tamper-proofing of US economic data.
Hash provides a way to verify the integrity of a certain document but does not provide economic data for the use in smart contracts. The oracle feed delivers this figure in a format convenient for automated processing.
