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. Today at SmartCon, TRON founder H.E. Justin Sun announced that TRON DAO has joined Scale and will integrate Chainlink Data Feeds as the official data oracle solution for the TRON blockchain ecosystem, which boasts one of the largest DeFi economies in the world.
An official announcement outlined TRON DAO’s plans to “fully discontinue support to and reliance on WINkLink” as TRON’s oracle solution and switch to Chainlink Data Feeds, which will help secure TRON’s two largest DeFi applications, JustLend and JustStable, with over $6.5 billion in total value locked (TVL).
As the industry-standard decentralized computing platform, Chainlink has enabled over $16 trillion in transaction value and provides a comprehensive set of services that are critical for scaling onchain finance to billions of global users. Leveraging Chainlink’s time-tested oracle infrastructure to deliver highly reliable price data onchain – even during volatile market conditions and adverse events such as flash loan attacks – Data Feeds are the leading oracle solution for hundreds of DeFi protocols with billions of dollars in TVL.
Since its mainnet launch in 2018, TRON has amassed more than 265 million total user accounts, 8 billion total transactions, and nearly $16 billion in TVL. The network also hosts the largest circulating supply of the USDT stablecoin and has been designated as the national blockchain for the Commonwealth of Dominica.
“We joined the Chainlink Scale program to accelerate TRON’s DeFi economy by offering developers access to the industry-leading data oracle solution,” said Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at TRON DAO, in an official statement.
“Chainlink’s unmatched security and reliability made it the clear choice as TRON’s official oracle provider. This integration enables us to focus on scaling our ecosystem and further driving mass adoption in the blockchain industry.”
“We’re thrilled that TRON has joined the Chainlink Scale program and is adopting Chainlink Data Feeds to further secure the foundation of the TRON DeFi economy,” added Thodoris Karakostas, Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink Labs.
“By delivering highly reliable, accurate, and decentralized market data onchain, Chainlink will further empower TRON ecosystem developers to build next-gen DeFi applications and advance the decentralized internet.”
