Chainlink oracle, data feeds coming to StarkNet ecosystem
Blockchain scaling expertise agency StarkWare is ready to companion with Chainlink Labs to carry oracle providers, information and worth feeds to the StarkNet ecosystem.
The coalition will see StarkWare be part of Chainlink’s Scale program and brings Chainlink worth feeds to StarkNet’s testnet. StarkNet tokens may even fund sure working prices for Chainlink oracle nodes, giving Starket builders entry to Chainlink oracle providers and information feeds.
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle community that allows sensible contracts to securely entry off-chain information sources, APIs and cost methods. It permits sensible contracts to work together with real-world information and occasions, making it doable for them to be triggered by information from exterior sources.
The community options unbiased nodes that present safe and dependable information to sensible contracts, incentivized by cost in Chainlink’s native LINK token. Node operators confirm and carry out information computations, which ensures correct and dependable information is delivered to sensible contracts.

An announcement from StarWare highlights the institution of a sustainable financial system between StarkNet and Chainlink. The combination can be anticipated to offer the mandatory infrastructure for StarkNet builders to construct “extremely performant, more and more complicated, and safe sensible contract functions.“
StarkWare product supervisor and researcher Ohad Barta informed Cointelegraph that work to introduce Chainlink’s oracle providers to StarkNet has been ongoing since June 2022. Numerous oracle providers might be built-in into StarkNet, in line with Barta, highlighting the good thing about range in smaller and bigger oracles serving the community:
“Oracles are a vital part, they’re related in lots of use circumstances. Quite a lot of functions have to know the value of property or NFTs. Oracles are like an entire toolkit.”
Barta additionally believes that the popularity of Chainlink’s providers throughout the Ethereum ecosystem is one other main purpose for the combination with StarkNet:
“The primary profit is any software or startup can combine with Chainlink worth feeds and know it is going to be correct and have some peace of thoughts when they’re constructing their product.”
An announcement from Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted the partnership’s potential in Chainlink oracle networks working at excessive speeds and low prices for Starknet customers and builders:
“By decreasing the working prices of oracle nodes, StarkNet is ready to speed up its ecosystem’s development and change into a extra engaging setting for constructing scalable DApps within the Web3 ecosystem.”
Chainlink information feeds are dwell on StarkNet’s testnet, with a mainnet integration anticipated within the coming months. Cointelegraph is at present protecting StarkWare Periods in Tel Aviv, Israel, the place the corporate introduced that it might make its proprietary Starknet Prover open supply. The prover is the engine that StarkWare makes use of in its zero-knowledge roll-up expertise.
