Powering secure interoperability and high-quality data with Chainlink

Problem

Ensuring data integrity, facilitating multi-network liquidity, and maintaining transparent asset backing presents complex technical challenges that demand reliable oracle infrastructure and cross-chain messaging solutions.

Before the Chainlink integration, developers faced limitations in connecting Hedera-based applications to the broader blockchain ecosystem. Without trusted off-chain data, secure interoperability with other networks like Ethereum, and verifiable collateral transparency, it was a challenge to deliver the liquidity, compliance, and auditability required by both enterprise-grade applications and DeFi projects.

Solution

By integrating Chainlink’s CCIP, Data Feeds, and Proof of Reserve, Hedera now provides developers with tamper-proof data delivery, cross-chain token transfers to 60+ networks, and onchain collateral verification. The combination of Chainlink’s proven oracle infrastructure with Hedera’s high-performance, low-cost DLT enables secure, compliant, and scalable onchain markets.

We’re excited to see the Chainlink standard for cross-chain interoperability live on Hedera mainnet. Along with Chainlink Data Feeds and Proof of Reserve on Hedera, CCIP enables developers to build secure cross-chain apps that drive adoption and expand Hedera’s DeFi and tokenized RWA ecosystems.

Chainlink powers secure interoperability and high-quality data for Hedera’s DeFi and tokenized RWA ecosystem

Hedera’s ecosystem has taken a significant leap forward with the integration of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Data Feeds, and Proof-of-Reserve. This collaboration equips developers on Hedera with secure access to off-chain data, real-time asset verification, and cross-chain token transfers.

Bridging TradFi and DeFi

Combining Chainlink’s proven oracle infrastructure with Hedera’s high-performance, low-cost, and carbon-negative distributed ledger, developers gain a complete connectivity stack. Rather than piecing together fragmented solutions, they can now deploy unified applications where cross-chain liquidity flows (via CCIP), real-time pricing updates (via Data Feeds), and collateral verification (via Proof-of-Reserve) work in concert.

This integration not only empowers developers to build next-generation DeFi protocols and tokenized RWA marketplaces but also reinforces Hedera’s positioning as a trusted platform for compliant, enterprise-ready solutions. By pairing Chainlink’s proven oracle security with Hedera’s predictable fees, rapid finality, and sustainable design, this integration establishes a trusted infrastructure layer for building global-scale on-chain markets – particularly transformative for institutional use cases such as tokenized treasury products or cross-border payment rails.

Summary

With Chainlink’s interoperability and data capabilities integrated with Hedera, developers can confidently build and deploy solutions that bridge traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems, unlocking new opportunities for innovation across industries, such as institutional tokenization and advanced DeFi protocols.
