Chainlink oracle, data feeds coming to StarkNet ecosystem

Blockchain scaling exertion steadfast StarkWare is acceptable to spouse with Chainlink Labs to bring oracle services, information and terms feeds to the StarkNet ecosystem.

The conjugation volition spot StarkWare articulation Chainlink’s SCALE programme and brings Chainlink terms feeds to StarkNet’s testnet. Starknet tokens volition besides beryllium utilized to money definite operating costs for Chainlink oracle nodes, giving Starknet developers entree to Chainlink oracle services and information feeds.

Chainlink is simply a decentralized oracle web that enables astute contracts to securely entree off-chain information sources, APIs, and outgo systems. It allows astute contracts to interact with real-world information and events, making it imaginable for them to beryllium triggered by information from outer sources.

The web features autarkic nodes that supply unafraid and reliable information to astute contracts, incentivized by outgo successful Chainlink’s autochthonal LINK token. Node operators verify and execute information computations, which ensures close and reliable information is delivered to astute contracts.

An announcement from StarWare highlights the constitution of a sustainable economical strategy betwixt Starknet and Chainlink. The integration is besides expected to supply indispensable infrastructure for Starknet developers to physique ‘highly performant, progressively complex, and unafraid astute declaration applications.’

StarkWare merchandise manager and researcher Ohad Barta told Cointelegraph that enactment to introduce Chainlink’s oracle services to StarkNet has been ongoing since June 2022. Various oracle services volition beryllium integrated into Starknet according to Barta, highlighting the payment of diverseness successful smaller and larger oracles serving the network:

“Oracles are an indispensable component, they are applicable successful galore use-cases. A batch of applications request to cognize the terms of assets oregon NFTs. Oracles are similar a implicit toolkit.”

Barta besides believes that the estimation of Chainlink's services wrong the Ethereum ecosystem is different large crushed for the integration with Starknet:

“The main payment is immoderate exertion oregon startup tin integrate with Chainlink terms feeds and cognize it volition beryllium close and person immoderate bid of caput erstwhile they are gathering their product.”

A connection from Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted the partnership’s imaginable successful Chainlink oracle networks operating astatine precocious speeds and debased costs for Starknet users and developers:

“By reducing the operating costs of oracle nodes, StarkNet is capable to accelerate its ecosystem’s maturation and go a much charismatic situation for building scalable dApps successful the Web3 ecosystem.”

Chainlink information feeds are unrecorded connected Starknet’s testnet, with a mainnet integration expected successful the coming months. Cointelegraph is presently covering Starkware Sessions successful Tel Aviv, wherever the institution announced that it would marque its proprietary Starknet Prover unfastened source. The prover is the motor that Starkware uses successful its zero-knowledge rotation up technology.
