Data Streams Integrations

Chainlink Data Streams powers next-gen markets with accurate, decentralized, and sub-second price data.

CCIP Integrations

WEMIX built by major gaming developer Wemade has integrated Chainlink CCIP on the mainnet. WEMIX is using CCIP as its exclusive cross-chain solution to power a mega-ecosystem of games—starting with an omnichain version of popular MMORPG Night Crows.

Cakepie, a sub-DAO of Magpie, has integrated Chainlink CCIP to unlock secure cross-chain transfers of CKP. Learn more about why CCIP's industry-standard security features are vital for DeFi applications.

Parallel leveraged CCIP's arbitrary messaging functionality to build gas-efficient NFT lending by passing data from Chainlink NFT Floor Price Feeds from Ethereum to Avalanche. By using the Chainlink platform, Parallel could achieve a 50% reduction in gas fees and a 20% increase in pricing accuracy.

What’s New for Developers 🛠

Code audits are often used to signal a dApp's security to users. They're certainly important. But not all code audits are the same—and it's vital to understand what to look out for when reviewing code audits. Checkout these tips for gauging dApp security as a non-technical user.

Chainlink Automation is an ultra-reliable and performant smart contract automation solution enabling developers to quickly scale their operations in a verifiable, decentralized, and cost-efficient manner. Developers create and fund automation jobs (upkeeps) with LINK to enable the timely triggering of smart contract functions. Each time an Automation job executes onchain, a portion of the Upkeep's LINK balance is consumed. These fees are key to Chainlink’s economic sustainability, as they cover onchain transaction costs and provide an incentive to node operators to monitor and perform Upkeeps. Learn more.
