- Distribution spans more than 50 public and private networks and reaches over 2,000 applications, according to the companies.
- The rollout includes the Russell 1000, Russell 2000, Russell 3000, the FTSE 100, and several digital-asset benchmarks.
- Chainlink oracles aggregate trusted sources, validate through independent nodes, and deliver cryptographically signed index records on-chain for smart contracts.
