@Injective Integrates Chainlink Data Streams for High-Frequency DeFi
Injective, a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain designed for decentralized finance (DeFi), has announced a significant integration with Chainlink Data Streams on its new EVM-compatible mainnet. This move makes Chainlink the preferred oracle solution for the Injective ecosystem. It provides essential, verifiable market data with sub-second latency.
Chainlink Data Streams offer a new type of oracle service. Unlike traditional price feeds that send data at set intervals, this pull-based system lets decentralized applications (dApps) request and receive fresh, cryptographically signed data whenever they need it. This feature is crucial for high-frequency trading and derivatives protocols that need speed and responsiveness similar to centralized financial platforms.
The immediate beneficiary of this integration is Helix Markets, Injective's main decentralized exchange (DEX). With Data Streams, Helix can provide extremely fast trading experiences for both retail and institutional users in its spot and perpetual markets.
This partnership positions Injective as a top platform for creating innovative DeFi applications. Developers moving to or building on Injective’s EVM layer can now access real-time pricing for cryptocurrency markets, as well as U.S. equities and ETFs. This essential infrastructure is set to open new financial opportunities on the blockchain, including tokenized stock trading, synthetic equities, and the wider real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem.
