Anchor Feeds

Scaling's anchor feeds update every 90 seconds with each new voting epoch on Flare. These feeds, accessible offchain, support various asset classes including equities, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.

Each anchor feed is uniquely identified by an ID composed of three components in a structured encoding process:

  1. Category: Indicates the type of asset:

    • Crypto: 01
    • Forex: 02
    • Commodity: 03
    • Stock: 04
  2. Hex-Encoded Feed Name: The name of the feed is converted to a hexadecimal format.

  3. Zero Padding: The combined category and hex-encoded feed name are padded with zeros to a length of 21 bytes.

The resulting string is then prefixed with 0x.

Example of the structured encoding process.

Taking the feed name FLR/USD:

  • Category: 01 (Crypto)
  • Hex-Encoded Feed Name: 464c522f555344 (hexadecimal representation of FLR/USD)
  • Zero Padding: The category and hex-encoded feed name combined and padded: 01464c522f55534400000000000000000000000000
  • Final ID: Adding the 0x prefix results in 0x01464c522f55534400000000000000000000000000

🚦 Understanding feed risks.

When building applications, developers must carefully evaluate the quality of the data they use. As a developer, you are responsible for identifying and assessing the accuracy, availability, and overall quality of the data you choose to integrate. It is important to understand that all data feeds carry inherent risks.

The table below categorizes feeds into three risk levels based on their market integrity, ranging from lowest to highest, a feed is assigned a higher risk level if it fails to meet all the criteria required for classification within a lower risk level:

Aspect🟢 Low Risk🟡 Medium Risk🔴 High Risk
Intrinsic VolatilityLow, stable price trendsModerate price fluctuationsHigh, frequent price swings
Liquidity VariationAbundant and consistentSufficient but variableLimited and inconsistent
Liquidity ConcentrationBroad and well-distributed across venuesSomewhat concentratedHighly concentrated in a few sources
Asset Spread RiskTight spreads, minimal bid-ask gapsModerate spreads, acceptable bid-ask gapsWide spreads, significant bid-ask gaps
Cross Rate RiskLow correlation, direct pricing availableModerate correlation, indirect pricing usedHigh correlation, dependent on multiple intermediaries

Each feed undergoes a rigorous assessment process prior to deployment. The evaluation criteria may vary depending on the specific type of feed being implemented and can evolve over time as our understanding of market integrity risks improves.

warning

Feed IDs are not addresses. They are bytes21 structured encodings that combine the category and feed name to ensure each feed has a unique identifier.
