Hedera Integrates Chainlink Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve

by

As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in blockchain technology and decentralized finance (DeFi), I find the recent integration of Chainlink Data Feeds and Chainlink Proof of Reserve on Hedera’s network to be an exciting development. With my background in exploring various blockchain ecosystems, I can attest that this collaboration will significantly empower developers building secure DeFi apps and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on the Hedera network.

On its platform, Hedera now offers Chainlink Data Feeds and Chainlink Proof of Reserve. This is exciting news for developers on Hedera, as it allows them to tap into reliable, tamper-proof data essential for creating secure decentralized finance (DeFi) applications and tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs).

Additionally, the HBAR Foundation has become a part of Chainlink Scale, which means that developers now have easier access to Chainlink’s robust oracle services.

As per the blog post from Hedera, this integration offers developers on the Hedera network an effortless way to tap into precise off-chain data. This data access empowers developers to construct more sophisticated on-chain applications.

Chainlink’s Data Feeds collect information from top-tier data sources and platforms, guaranteeing that the market prices utilized in apps on Hedera are precise and impartial. These feeds play a crucial role in delivering real-time, dependable financial market data to Hedera, which is essential for constructing robust DeFi applications and reliable tokenized assets.

In simpler terms, Elaine Song, Vice President of Strategy at The HBAR Foundation, stated that by offering developers access to the Chainlink standard, we can enhance the availability of reliable, tamper-evident data supported by a decentralized network.

A notable aspect is collecting large amounts of top-tier data from numerous trading platforms, filtering it to remove any unusual values or anomalies, thereby ensuring the price information provided is as precise and reliable as feasible.

Moreover, this data is safeguarded via decentralized oracle services run by reputable groups, making the data trustworthy even during network interruptions or heavy network usage. Notably, Chainlink operates on a fully decentralized system to eliminate any potential single-point failures.

Currently, both platforms have experienced significant increases in their native tokens this month. Specifically, LINK has risen by more than 108%, and HBAR saw a notable growth of approximately $231%. The recent surge in LINK can be attributed to last week’s news that the World Liberty Financial Initiative WLFI, supported by former President Donald Trump, purchased over 40,000 LINK tokens worth $1 million.

Currently, the price of Link stands at $29.55 following a new all-time high (ATH) of $30.70 reached earlier today. The trading volume has surged more than 37% to reach $2.09 in just one day. On the other hand, HBAR is experiencing a 2% decrease, currently valued at $0.28. It previously hit its daily high of $0.29, and an impressive trading volume of $826 million was recorded, marking a significant 44% increase today.
