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.
