The on-chain feeds provide verifiable BEA indicators for smart contracts with scheduled monthly or quarterly updates.

Overview

  • Six indicators are live, including real GDP levels, quarter-over-quarter GDP growth, the PCE Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers.
  • The datasets are available across ten blockchains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and Optimism, with broader network support expected.
  • Developers can integrate the feeds now to enable uses such as automated trading strategies, composable tokenized assets, prediction markets, and DeFi risk models.
