Chainlink's core dependencies are the decentralized oracle network (DON) and products like CCIP and DECO, but technical bottlenecks may amplify system vulnerabilities. Despite having over 4,000 nodes, the distribution of nodes may be concentrated among a few operators, which could lead to witch attacks or aggregator vulnerability risks. In 2025, Chainlink's OCR (Off-Chain Reporting) protocol is optimized for delays of less than 1 second, but high-frequency data feeds (such as real-time valuations of RWA) still face rising gas costs and scalability challenges; if the node online rate falls below 99%, it could trigger oracle failures, resulting in financial losses for decentralized finance protocols. In the future, CCIP's threshold signature mechanism may face threats from quantum computing and potential cross-chain vulnerabilities; while DECO's ZK proof mechanism supports the transmission of private data, it will still be in the experimental stage in 2025, currently facing high...
