Reference pricing

Oracle networks and on-chain data

An oracle needs a price it can defend: what it is derived from, when it was observed, and what happens when the source goes quiet. TickerLayer feeds answer all three, across the asset classes an oracle actually needs.

Why TickerLayer

Built for this, not adapted to it

  • Timestamps with a contract

    Field names are frozen and a probe checks them before every release.

  • More than crypto

    Gold, crude, benchmark indices, major pairs and government yields on the same key.

  • Silence is a signal

    A market-aware watchdog knows when a quiet feed is a problem and when it is a holiday.

Frequently asked questions

Is this venue data?

No. TickerLayer builds derived, indicative reference prices from non-venue inputs and says so in the documentation and the disclaimer.

How is latency measured?

At the gateway, with an external witness that subscribes like a customer and records gaps, reconnects and timestamp regressions across releases.

How often do bond yields update?

Once per daily observation, sent as a single frame so a consumer never mistakes a repeat for a change.
