Definition ∞ On-chain data streams are continuous flows of information directly recorded and stored on a blockchain ledger. This data includes transaction details, smart contract executions, block timestamps, and network activity, all publicly accessible and verifiable by network participants. These streams provide a transparent and immutable record of all events occurring within a specific blockchain network. They serve as a foundational source for analytics, security monitoring, and the development of decentralized applications.
Context ∞ The analysis of on-chain data streams is increasingly vital for understanding the true activity and health of digital asset markets, often providing insights that traditional market data cannot. Researchers and investors use these streams to assess network utilization, whale movements, and protocol adoption, informing trading strategies and investment decisions. The ongoing development of sophisticated tools for processing and interpreting these vast data flows remains a key area of focus for market intelligence.
