U.S. Department of Commerce and Chainlink Bring GDP Data Onchain Across 9 Blockchains

The U.S. Department of Commerce has partnered with Chainlink to bring critical macroeconomic data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) onto blockchain networks. This initiative will provide key metrics, such as Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, across ten blockchain ecosystems. The involved chains include:

• Arbitrum $ARB
• Avalanche $AVAX
• Base 
• Botanix 
• Ethereum $ETH
• Linea 
• Mantle $MANTLE 
• Optimism $OP 
• Sonic $S
• ZKsync $ZK

These integrations aim to unlock innovative blockchain applications, such as automated trading strategies, real-time prediction markets, and DeFi protocol risk management. By leveraging Chainlink’s secure oracle infrastructure, developers can access reliable government data to build advanced onchain solutions.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick highlighted the transformative impact of blockchain technology in enhancing transparency and accessibility for government data. Chainlink, known for its robust ecosystem with over 2,400 integrations, has already facilitated trillions of dollars in transaction value through its Data Feeds. These feeds are certified to meet enterprise-grade standards, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 1 attestation.

The collaboration underscores Chainlink’s leadership in the blockchain industry, connecting public institutions with decentralized networks. Earlier this year, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov engaged with U.S. regulators, including Senator Tim Scott, to discuss crypto market structure legislation. The White House also recognized Chainlink in its Digital Asset Report, emphasizing its role in powering stablecoins and tokenized funds.

By bringing U.S. macroeconomic data onchain, this initiative showcases the growing adoption of blockchain technology by government entities. Developers can now integrate these data feeds to build applications on supported chains, creating new opportunities for innovation in decentralized finance and beyond.
