Chainlink lands on Injective: a new era for on-chain finance

The arrival of Chainlink on the Injective mainnet marks a significant turning point in the landscape of decentralized applications. The industry’s leading oracle platform, Chainlink, brings low-latency data to Injective, providing developers with the opportunity to build next-generation on-chain applications. 

Thanks to an institutional-grade oracle infrastructure now available across the entire network, Injective establishes itself as a leading platform for creating dApps with the fastest time-to-market in the industry, also due to the preconfigured financial Web3 modules from iBuild, now powered by Chainlink.

Chainlink and Injective: a strategic integration

The integration of Chainlink transforms Injective into a complete, production-ready infrastructure layer, ideal for on-chain finance. A concrete example is Helix, the leading spot and perpetual DEX on Injective, which has adopted Chainlink to power its crypto markets and RWA (Real World Assets). 

With Chainlink becoming the preferred oracle solution on Injective, developers and protocols can now access a platform that has already enabled over $26 trillion in on-chain transaction value and powers the majority of global decentralized finance (DeFi).

Chainlink Data Streams: real-time market data on Injective

The Chainlink Data Streams technology delivers verifiable market data with sub-second latency to all applications built—and yet to be built—on Injective. Helix is the first protocol on Injective to officially adopt Data Streams as the oracle provider for all its markets, offering secure and real-time market data, 24/7, for both retail and institutional users.

For the first time, developers choosing Injective have everything they need: Chainlink’s battle-tested oracle solution providing real-time prices on U.S. stocks, ETFs, and crypto markets, along with Injective’s innovative orderbook, Web3 modules, MultiVM infrastructure, shared liquidity, and real asset tokenization capabilities. This comprehensive toolkit eliminates the fragmentation that often slows DeFi development and positions Injective as a benchmark for all DeFi developers.

New Opportunities for the Injective Ecosystem

The activation of Chainlink Data Streams paves the way for a rapid expansion of the Injective ecosystem into new verticals. Real-time price feeds on U.S. stocks and ETFs now enable trading of tokenized stocks, perpetual pre-IPO, and synthetic products, sectors previously inaccessible to decentralized platforms. RWA protocols can finally build on Injective with the assurance of having institutional-grade price data at their disposal.

This integration also accelerates development speed. EVM developers migrating to Injective can immediately leverage Chainlink’s low-latency oracle solution without needing to create custom integrations. This drastically reduces time-to-market, allowing dApps to be launched with maximum security from day one, thanks to the data reliability already chosen by the industry’s leading protocols.

A New Standard for On-Chain Finance

The combination of Chainlink Data Streams, native EVM layer, and specialized financial infrastructure arrives at a time when the complexity of legacy systems is at an all-time high. Protocols no longer have to choose between institutional-grade data, development experience, and advanced financial tools: now they can have it all together.

Injective, the first ecosystem to offer this complete stack, is poised to attract the next generation of financial application builders. Whether it’s tokenized assets, derivatives platforms, predictive markets, or new trading mechanisms, developers finally have the necessary infrastructure to innovate traditional finance while maintaining the transparency and accessibility typical of blockchain.

The Future of Finance Begins with Injective

With this integration, Injective positions itself as the foundation for building the finance of the future. The synergy between Chainlink and Injective not only elevates the technological standard of the ecosystem but also offers new opportunities for growth and innovation for developers, investors, and end-users. The future of finance is being written today on Injective, and the revolution has just begun.
