It may sound like a joke, but The Chainlink does fix this.
Today, a network disruption at Nasdaq’s Carteret facility caused intermittent gaps across its U.S. equities data feeds. Even both the primary A and secondary B feeds from Carteret were impacted.
Chainlink Data Streams are specifically designed to make onchain markets more resilient to this.Instead of depending on a single exchange feed or data source, Data Streams aggregate market data from multiple primary and backup sources, then process it through a decentralized oracle network.
The feeds also include timestamps and market-status metadata, allowing applications to identify stale prices, detect market interruptions and implement safeguards such as pausing trading or freezing positions. So if one venue or data path goes down, an onchain market doesn’t have to blindly consume stale data or immediately lose its pricing infrastructure.
Multiple data sources → decentralized aggregation → stale-data detection → circuit-breaker logic.
This is exactly the kind of redundancy you need if tokenized equities are going to trade onchain at scale. $LINK
