Injective, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain tailored for finance applications, has tapped Chainlink as the preferred oracle solution on its newly launched EVM-compatible mainnet.
Chainlink’s low-latency Data Streams are now live on the Injective mainnet, the firm said in a press release shared with Invezz.
“With institutional-grade oracle infrastructure now available across the network, Injective solidifies its position as the premier platform for building dApps where developers can experience the shortest time to market in the industry thanks to Injective’s iBuild, off the shelf Web3 finance modules, now powered by Chainlink,” Injective said.
Injective is a decentralized and interoperable blockchain that allows developers to quickly deploy complex financial applications without building everything from scratch.
Helix, a decentralized exchange that is also Injective’s flagship trading platform, will be the first to adopt Chainlink Data Streams.
This move will allow it to “deliver lightning fast trading experiences to Helix’s retail and institutional users,” per the release.
What are Chainlink Data Streams?
Chainlink Data Streams are a next-generation oracle service designed to deliver high-frequency real-time market data to decentralized applications with sub-second latency.
In simple terms, they are a specialized type of Chainlink oracle that allows dApps to access live price updates the moment they need them, matching the speed and responsiveness of traditional financial platforms.
Compared to Chainlink’s traditional price feeds that push updated data on-chain at fixed intervals, Data Streams let applications pull fresh signed data on demand instead of waiting for scheduled updates.
As a result, developers have access to real-time information exactly at the moment a trade or action is executed, allowing for far more precise and responsive on-chain markets.
For Injective, this means builders can branch into verticals such as tokenized stock markets, synthetic equity products, and the broader RWA ecosystem, which, according to the project, was “previously inaccessible to decentralized platforms.”
“EVM developers migrating to Injective can immediately leverage Chainlink’s low-latency oracle solution without building custom integrations. This dramatically shortens time to market, allowing dApps to launch with security at the forefront from day one with the same data reliability trusted by the industry’s leading protocols.” Injective added.
Chainlink’s oracle adoption surges
Oracles serve as the bridge between real-world data and blockchain-based systems, and Chainlink has become the preferred provider for applications that demand high data integrity and transparency, as evidenced by the numerous enterprise-level partnerships the firm has sealed over the past years.
Earlier this month, Dinari tapped Chainlink’s infrastructure to support the integration of the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index, a hybrid benchmark that blends US equities tied to blockchain adoption with major digital assets and brings its pricing data on-chain.
Last month, Chainlink became the official blockchain-based oracle provider for S&P Global Ratings via a new partnership that brings the firm’s Stablecoin Stability Assessments on-chain.
Chainlink has also partnered with BNB Chain to bring verified economic data, such as the GDP numbers and the PCE Price Index from the United States Department of Commerce, directly onto blockchain infrastructure.
