Deprecation of Chainlink Data Streams
Due to the rapid evolution of onchain ecosystems, Chainlink Data Streams feeds are regularly evaluated to ensure
that network usage, cost efficiency, and long-term sustainability remain aligned with the needs of the
ecosystem.
As part of this ongoing evaluation, Data Streams feeds without publicly known active users may be scheduled for
deprecation. Doing so not only allows us to keep our Data Streams offering aligned with today's market
landscape, but it also helps to reduce unnecessary costs incurred by Chainlink node operators. This process is
part of a broader ecosystem initiative to maximize the adoption of the Chainlink network while optimizing for
cost-efficiency and long-term economic sustainability.
