# Stork > Onchain finance's institutional-grade pricing backbone Stork is a blockchain oracle network that delivers low-latency price data to smart contracts. It serves perpetual futures exchanges, prediction markets, and trading firms with signed price feeds and market data across multiple blockchains. Stork is a blockchain oracle network that delivers low-latency price data to smart contracts and trading systems. It aggregates prices from a decentralized network of independent data publishers and signs each update so it can be verified on-chain. The network focuses on 24/7 markets, including crypto and real-world asset perpetual futures. Publishers stream signed price updates to aggregators, which combine them and filter out errant or malicious data. Applications can pull signed updates off-chain and verify them in their own contracts, or receive feeds pushed on-chain on a set schedule and price-change threshold. Custom aggregation lets subscribers choose the assets and methods behind a feed. Its main product is Stork Price Feeds, available through WebSocket and REST APIs and through contracts deployed across multiple blockchains. Stork Market Data adds tick-level trade and order book history and real-time streams from on-chain venues, centralized exchanges, and regulated exchanges. Stork is used by perpetual futures exchanges, prediction markets, and trading firms. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2024-08-20 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/stork ## Products - [Stork Price Feeds](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stork): Stork Price Feeds is an oracle that delivers low-latency, signed price data to smart contracts across multiple blockchains.
