The world is learning about single points of failure and the need for independent data providers and data
infrastructures.
- Government shutdown stopped the macroeconomic data releases while @truflation kept serving indexes via TRUF NETWORK and Chainlink.
- AWS downtime caused widespread outages of prominent apps. Meanwhile DeFi protocols fueled by data from @Chainlink and TRUF NETWORK kept on running as if nothing happened. Fast, decentralized, onchain.
Despite today’s widespread cloud outage impacting much of the public Internet, Chainlink oracle services operated without interruption and remain fully operational.
This reliability includes Data Feeds & Streams securing 70% of the oracle-enabled DeFi economy, CCIP enabling billions in value to move cross-chain, and all other widely-adopted Chainlink oracle services.
The Chainlink platform was built to withstand single points of failure, delivering the highest levels of security and reliability to ensure mission-critical applications securing real value operate without issue:
• Independent, distributed operations: Professional node operators spread across geographic regions and infra providers to avoid correlated failures.
• Native onchain deployments: Data is delivered directly on each supported chain without reliance on third-party bridges or relayers.
• Decentralized oracle networks (DONs): Decentralized offchain consensus eliminates single points of network-operation failure.
• Direct data sourcing: Operators manage their own authenticated API connections, minimizing centralized data provisioning.
• Chain-specific deployment: Deployments touch only the chains they serve, limiting inter-chain dependencies and correlated risk.
This unparalleled level performance is why Chainlink has become the industry standard, securing approximately $100B in DeFi markets and enabling $26+ trillion in transaction value.
Just use Chainlink.
