CoinVoice has learned that Chainlink has announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) to put U.S. government macroeconomic data on the blockchain from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). These new Chainlink data sources can securely put key information on the blockchain regarding critical U.S. economic data, including real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, and actual final sales to private domestic buyers.
This data is updated monthly or quarterly and will initially be provided in ten blockchain ecosystems. The first supported chains include: Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Based on user demand, support for other blockchain networks can be gradually added in the future. [Original link]
