The Chainlink Scale program is designed to accelerate the growth of blockchain and layer-2 ecosystems by giving developers enhanced access to Chainlink’s industry-leading web3 services. This week, Ethereum layer-2 Mantle Network announced it joined Scale and made Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams available to developers on mainnet.
Mantle is the largest Ethereum layer-2 using zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), a cryptographic method for verifying transactions without revealing sensitive data onchain. Joining Scale allows Mantle to advance its goal of building the largest sustainable hub for onchain finance by adopting the Chainlink standard for verifiable data.
Chainlink Data Feeds have reliably enabled over $19 trillion in transaction value even during volatile market conditions and adverse events such as flash loan attacks. Data Streams is a pull-based oracle solution that allows protocols to consume data more cost-effectively and at lower latencies while reducing the risk of frontrunning and MEV. This further expands DeFi’s reach by improving the user experience and unlocking advanced products that require lower gas fees and faster price updates.
As a member of Scale, Mantle will cover certain operating costs of Chainlink oracles for a period of time while developers access the vital tools needed to power innovative applications that expand the scope of Mantle’s DeFi ecosystem.
“We’re excited to join Chainlink Scale and adopt the Chainlink standard for verifiable data to bring highly accurate and reliable price information to Mantle Network,” said Mantle Network’s Chief Growth Officer, Brian, in an official announcement.
“Chainlink’s delivery of reliable market data, coupled with its battle-tested infrastructure, made it an obvious choice for Mantle.”
Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, underscored how Mantle’s Chainlink integrations create a ripple effect throughout DeFi.
“L2s are essential components for Ethereum, and Mantle’s use of zero-knowledge proofs enhances both security and privacy for the network, benefiting the industry as a whole,” he said.
“Chainlink Data Feeds and Data Streams will unlock a new wave of DeFi market capabilities for the Mantle ecosystem, supporting a more sustainable, creative, and secure industry.”
