Synthetic Assets

"Given our reliance on regular price feeds for our derivatives trading mechanism, finding a robust decentralized oracle solution has always been at the top of our priority list. Chainlink delivers the solution, deployed by an excellent team and supported by an invaluable community."

Money Markets

“The security provided by the Chainlink Network's oracle infrastructure has served the Aave protocol well, and now users of the Aave protocol can leverage Chainlink's offchain service to participate in the Aave ecosystem as liquidators to secure the Aave protocol and its liquidity pools."

Decentralized Exchange

“Many people overlook the importance of oracles in their smart contract application. The reality that we see time and time again is that a smart contract application’s security is only as strong as its oracle. That’s why it was so important for our team to find an oracle that matched Trader Joe’s strong commitment to security.”

Staking

“Chainlink effectively serves as a great enabler for DeFi protocols looking to quickly and securely add support for a wide range of assets, removing manual processes and mitigating security risks around using unproven oracle solutions.”

Decentralized Exchange

“At DODO, we believe in leveraging industry expertise and forging strong, meaningful relationships. Chainlink is the undisputed leader in the oracle space — it has a proven track record of solving the oracle problem and providing high-quality data to live DeFi applications.”

stablecoins

“Using Chainlink oracles to secure collateral, redemptions, and liquidations was a clear step in further securing the Liquity protocol and improving its capital efficiency. This allows us to focus on building production systems at a much faster pace.”
