Integrations

Leveraged yield farming protocol @AlpacaFinance has integrated Chainlink Price Feeds on @BinanceChain as its primary oracle solution. Chainlink's high-quality price feeds now secure the loan issuance & liquidation processes for Alpaca Finance's $1B+ TVL.

Supported by the @synthetix_io community, @thalesmarket will integrate Chainlink Price Feeds to settle binary options. Chainlink oracles ensure correct settlement by supplying on-chain price data that reflects a VWAP aggregated from all trading platforms.

@dot_finance integrates Chainlink Price Feeds on @BinanceChain to power its DeFi yield aggregator solution. Chainlink’s high-quality, tamper-proof price data is key to changing between yield farming strategies and automatically compounding user returns.

@BLOCKBANKapp will integrate Chainlink Price Feeds to bring DeFi's most widely used price benchmark into its robo-advisor. BlockBank will also add support for Chainlink Keepers so users can automate regular neobanking tasks in a highly reliable manner

@traderjoe_xyz will natively integrate Chainlink Price Feeds on @avalancheavax to secure its lending & leveraged trading platform. Chainlink's decentralized oracles ensure loans are issued at fair market price & remain fully collateralized at all times.

Wrapped asset platform @WrappedFi integrates #Chainlink Price Feeds on mainnet. Chainlink's wide market data coverage & decentralized oracle infrastructure ensure the platform’s wrapped assets are safely priced within various #DeFi protocols on #Ethereum.

@QDT_ai launches a live Chainlink node, bringing AI-based crypto analytics on-chain. Devs can now call the QDT node to get predictive analytics around BTC for two weeks in advance, which can be used to trigger on-chain trades, price futures, and more.

L2 DeFi aggregator @amyfinance will integrate Chainlink Price Feeds natively on @arbitrum to secure its liquidation mechanism, enabling users to access low-cost loans & efficient margin trading while lenders are protected against undercollateralization.

@blowe_say has integrated Chainlink to power dynamic Hip Hop NFTs that respond to artists’ real-world ratings. Chainlink oracles update the NFTs with off-chain data such as subscriber counts and sayBLOWE community scores to track musicians’ popularity.

VRF Integrations

@DeSpaceDefi, an aggregator for DeFi and NFT services, will integrate Chainlink VRF to randomly distribute NFTs of varying rarity and utility, enabling a dynamic and gamified platform experience that is provably fair for all players.

@DangerMoonIO has integrated Chainlink VRF on @BinanceChain to access a tamper-proof and provably fair source of on-chain randomness used to select a random entrant from its reflection system to be the lucky prize winner.

Stablecoin DEX @xSigma5 is using Chainlink VRF on mainnet to fairly determine when accumulated pool fees are awarded to LPs. A 42-sided dice powered by Chainlink VRF is rolled daily—when the dice lands on a 7, $600k+ is distributed to current xSigma LPs.

Keepers Integrations

@Barn_Bridge is using Chainlink Keepers to automate the rebalancing function in their SMART Exposure product. Chainlink Keepers compute users' portfolio exposure off-chain & trigger on-chain swaps to maintain fixed ratios (e.g., 50% asset A, 50% asset B).

@bprotocoleth is using Chainlink Keepers as a highly reliable liquidation mechanism in their B.AMM. By performing verifiable off-chain computation, Chainlink Keepers help ensure loans are liquidated in a timely manner according to global market prices.

What’s New for Developers 🛠

Chainlink oracle networks empower smart contract developers to build more advanced DeFi apps that use hyper-reliable, decentralized price data. Integrate the CRO/ETH Price Feed on Ethereum today to build markets around @cryptocom’s native asset.

Chainlink is launching more decentralized oracle networks to meet DeFi’s growing demand for secure price data. Easily integrate the FXS/USD Chainlink Price Feed to build markets around @fraxfinance’s governance token, already sponsored by @SetProtocol.

Featured Videos & Educational Pieces 🎥

  • How Chainlink Supports Any Off-Chain Data Resource and Computation
    • As a heterogeneous network, Chainlink enables many independent oracle networks to operate in parallel & provide smart contracts with a wide range of off-chain services, from secure data delivery to off-chain computation & autonomous transaction triggers.
  • Sportemon Go on Chainlink LIVE | Blockchain eSports, Fantasy Sports, and Sports Betting Markets
    • Watch the Sportemon Go AMA on Chainlink Live with Ricky Jackson, Co Founder. Sportemon Go on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) enables users to hunt, find, buy, collect, and trade dynamic NFTs in real-time representing their favorite sporting heroes, both in the physical and virtual world. Sportemon Go creates synergy between the current world and the metaverse, allowing participants to interact with digital NFTs at physical stadiums, sporting events, and virtually anywhere in the world like never before.
  • DeFi Yield Protocol (DYP) on Chainlink Live | Native Blockchain Token Yield Farming
    • DYP comes to Chainlink Live for an AMA on the unique DYP platform that allows any user to provide liquidity, receive rewards in ETH or BNB, including an anti-manipulation feature to convert the rewards into ETH or BNB without overly affecting the price. By integrating the Chainlink decentralized oracle network, DeFi Yield Protocol has access to high-quality, tamper-proof price feeds needed to provide the exact value in USD for the rewards paid in ETH and BNB to the liquidity providers that are using farming pools.
  • PERI Finance on Chainlink Live | Synthetic Assets for DeFi on Polkadot
    • PERI Finance is a decentralized cross-chain synthetic issuance and derivative exchange protocol that is building all kinds of synthetic assets DeX(Decentralized eXchange) on Polkadot. All users are able to collateralize PERI, USDC, and NFT to seize the opportunity of on/off-chain and traditional finance/non-finance assets’ value fluctuation.
  • Expanding Beyond Data Delivery With Chainlink 2.0
    • Proof of Reserve oracles can fix the auditing processes that have failed to uncover fraud and false claims. We don't have to rely on "Trust Us" promises if we have Cryptographically guaranteed systems, backed by definitive truth.
