The last few days have seen an explosive growth in the adoption of the Chainlink platform with a number of monumental integrations.
Kinexys by @jpmorgan, Chainlink, and @OndoFinance just successfully completed the first of its kind cross-chain, atomic settlement of a tokenized asset, $5.5B+ of @trondao DeFi TVL has upgraded to and is now secured by the Chainlink data standard, @worldlibertyfi’s institutional-grade stablecoin USD1 is now available cross-chain via CCIP.
In addition, Build on @solana was launched, Chainlink SVR market coverage on @aave increased 10x, and @KaminoFinance—Solana’s largest DeFi protocol—adopted Chainlink Data Feeds.
Last but not least, the introduction of Chainlink Rewards with @spaceandtime making 100M SXT tokens available to Chainlink ecosystem participants.
2025 is the year of Acceleration!
Many many more highlights below ↓
1. Chainlink, Kinexys by @jpmorgan, and @OndoFinance successfully completed a first-of-its-kind cross-chain, atomic settlement of a tokenized asset between Kinexys Digital Payments’ permissioned blockchain network and Ondo’s layer-1 chain—powered end-to-end by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE).
2. @trondao upgraded to Chainlink Data Feeds as its official oracle solution. TRON’s support of WINkLink was discontinued, and $5.5B+ in DeFi TVL became secured by the Chainlink standard.
3. USD1—an institutional-grade stablecoin from @worldlibertyfi—is officially going cross-chain with Chainlink CCIP. The collaboration builds upon WLFI's existing adoption of Chainlink for secure Data Feeds.
4. Chainlink Rewards: Season Genesis launched with @spaceandtime. Chainlink Rewards is a community engagement and rewards program that enables Chainlink Build projects to make their token claimable by ecosystem participants, including eligible LINK Stakers.
5. @KaminoFinance, the largest DeFi lending protocol on Solana with $2B+ TVL, has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for low-latency market data.
6. Build on Solana—a new startup program that will significantly accelerate the adoption of Chainlink and provide support for high-potential projects within the @solana ecosystem.
7. Finally, major tokenized asset issuers and platforms adopted Chainlink, including @OpenEden_X’s USDO, @librecap and @LaserDigital_ funds, @falconfinance’s USDf and sUSDf, and @Polytrade_fin’s TRADE.
8. @aave officially integrated Chainlink SVR in a near-unanimous vote. The initial integration began with a pilot on select markets, where SVR operated without issue, successfully liquidating at-risk positions and preventing any bad debt.
After proving its reliability, the Aave DAO voted to expand SVR’s coverage from ~3% to ~27% of the protocol’s Ethereum TVL. The largest DeFi lending protocol is establishing a new standard in cryptoeconomics by using Chainlink SVR to recapture liquidation MEV and increase protocol revenue.
9. Multistream upgrade for Data Streams—a major scalability upgrade that introduces a new parallelized architecture. A single Multistream DON can now serve 1000s of data points in parallel across chains and any range of asset classes. Since the Multistream upgrade, 54 new assets have been added to Data Streams.
10. Chainlink Payment Abstraction—a new cross-chain-enabled payment system that significantly reduces payment friction within the Chainlink Network—is now live on mainnet. Payment Abstraction enables users to pay for Chainlink services in alternative assets (e.g., gas tokens and stablecoins), which are then automatically converted into LINK.
11. @OpenUSDT, an interoperable version of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT created for the OP Superchain ecosystem, has adopted Chainlink CCIP for cross-chain transfers.
12. GMX-Solana, a deployment of GMX V2 on Solana, launched on mainnet, with Data Streams as its official oracle solution. @GMX_SOL achieved $1.8B+ in 24-hour volume shortly after launch.
13. Chainlink continues to drive innovation in the DeFi space, being adopted by @compoundfinance and @alphagrowth1 to develop BOBBY—an AI-powered, self-optimizing vault agent that leverages Chainlink Automation.
14. Leading blockchains are adopting the Chainlink standard, including enterprise-grade L2 @HashKeyGroup, layer-1 blockchain @monad_xyz on day one of its launch, BTCFi scaling solution @BotanixLabs, and Ethereum L2 @0xMantle. In addition, @Ronin_Network migrated its legacy Ronin Bridge and all supported assets ($450M+) to Chainlink CCIP.
15. Elixir, an institutional-focused protocol with $180M+ in TVL, has upgraded to Chainlink CCIP to power cross-chain transfers of deUSD across @avax and @ethereum—and will be upgrading the rest of its bridging routes to CCIP over time.
16. The Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard is being adopted by innovative builders who are taking their tokens cross-chain using CCIP, including @JasmyMGT, @liquid_col, @AITECHio, and @PaalMind. In addition, @lifiprotocol integrated support for CCIP and the CCT standard.
17. As the low-latency data standard, Chainlink Data Feeds is powering leading protocols, with recent integrations from @bonzo_finance, @GMX_IO, @liquid_col, @sedge_fi (powered by @DFXFinance), and @SiloFinance.
Many more are coming 2025 is the year of Acceleration!
