First, premium data providers aggregate raw price data from a multitude of centralized and decentralized exchanges, accounting for time, volume, and outliers.

Next, independent Chainlink nodes fetch market price data from various premium data providers and combine the results into an aggregated value.

3

Lastly, multiple Chainlink nodes aggregate their results together off-chain to generate a tamper-resistant oracle report, which is made available to smart contracts. 

Extensive monitoring of your oracles

Numerous tools built by the ecosystem provide transparency and full visibility for the price feeds and the teams participating in them. This gives you confidence that the feeds are reporting properly at all times.
