Chainlink

Chainlink is modernizing fund infrastructure to support the tokenization of $147+ trillion in global assets under management. **Key developments:** - Chainlink launched 24/5 U.S. Equities Streams to bring the ~$80T U.S. equities market onchain - [OrderlyNetwork](https://twitter.com/OrderlyNetwork), an omnichain perpetual DEX infrastructure, integrated these streams to enable secure equity perpetual markets across chains - The infrastructure allows developers to seamlessly launch equity-based products in decentralized environments This represents a critical step in connecting traditional capital markets with blockchain technology, building on Chainlink's broader work in tokenized assets as an $84 trillion wealth transfer continues.

Chainlink added 14 new integrations spanning three services across eight blockchain networks. **Networks involved:** - Arbitrum - Base - Concordium - Ethereum - Moonbeam - Plume - Polygon - TRON **New integrations include:** - Trading platforms: BitMEX, ApeX, ACX DEX, GM Trade - DeFi protocols: QuickSwap DEX, Orderly Network, Colb Finance - Other services: USDD, Wolf, Opinion Labs, Monaco Trading, Lighter, Hello Trade, Decibel Trade The expansion demonstrates continued adoption of Chainlink's oracle infrastructure across multiple blockchain ecosystems.

Chainlink has introduced a comprehensive privacy standard designed to address the final barrier preventing institutional capital from moving onchain. **The Core Problem** - Blockchains lack privacy by default - Transparency conflicts with institutions' need to protect proprietary strategies and client data - This creates a significant adoption barrier for traditional finance **Chainlink's Solution** The privacy standard enables private smart contracts across any blockchain through: - Trusted execution environments (TEEs) for confidential computations - Decentralized oracle networks for enhanced security - Advanced cryptographic techniques - Support for private data, cross-chain transactions, identity, compute, and payments **How It Works** Computations run in secure environments while maintaining verifiability. Sensitive data and business logic remain confidential, yet all actions can be verified as executed correctly. **The Impact** This infrastructure aims to unlock institutional adoption by providing the privacy layer that traditional financial institutions require while preserving blockchain's trust and verification benefits.

Chainlink has acquired Atlas, an order flow auction protocol developed by FastLane, to accelerate the adoption of its Secure Value Recapture (SVR) solution in DeFi. **Key Details:** - Atlas now exclusively supports Chainlink SVR for Oracle Extractable Value (OEV) recapture - SVR is currently live on five major chains: Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid HyperEVM - Additional blockchain integrations are planned - The acquisition aims to help DeFi protocols increase revenue by recapturing value typically lost to MEV SVR enables protocols to auction off oracle update rights, allowing them to capture value that would otherwise be extracted by third parties. DeFi protocols interested in implementing SVR can reach out through [Chainlink's documentation](https://docs.chain.link/data-feeds/svr-feeds).

Chainlink's Smart Value Recapture (SVR) has crossed a significant milestone, recapturing over $10 million in non-toxic maximum extractable value (MEV) from liquidations. **Key developments:** - Top lending protocols are generating new revenue streams by adopting SVR - The solution supports the economic sustainability of oracle infrastructure - Recapture rates have averaged around 80% over recent months - Multiple SVR-enabled searchers continue to join the network SVR represents a novel approach to oracle design, allowing DeFi protocols to capture value that would otherwise be lost to MEV extraction. The milestone builds on previous progress, including $1.5M recaptured by September 2025. The initiative has been developed in collaboration with Aave and BGD Labs, demonstrating how infrastructure improvements can benefit the broader DeFi ecosystem.

Chainlink has launched the **Convergence hackathon**, inviting developers to build advanced smart contracts using CRE (Chainlink Runtime Environment). **Prize Pool**: $100,000 in total rewards **Focus Areas**: - AI integration - Compliance solutions - Tokenization - Prediction markets - Additional tracks available Participants can select their preferred track and compete to shape the next generation of blockchain applications. The hackathon targets developers interested in creating sophisticated smart contracts that leverage Chainlink's infrastructure. Registration and full track details are available through Chainlink's official channels.

Fernando Vazquez, President of Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs, discussed the tokenization market opportunity with Water Tower Research. The conversation covered: - The total addressable market (TAM) for tokenization - Strategies to enhance utility across tokenized assets - Chainlink's role in the tokenization infrastructure This follows a World Economic Forum report highlighting tokenization's potential to improve efficiency and transparency in financial markets. The report featured Chainlink's work with ANZ Bank on cross-chain interoperability and its collaboration with Swift and UBS Asset Management to enable tokenized fund transactions, addressing inefficiencies in the $63 trillion global mutual fund market.

Hastra's PRIME lending market, which includes Phantom's CASH and runs on Chainlink Data Streams, has crossed $350M in total value locked (TVL). This makes it the top lending market on Kamino and one of Solana's largest. **Key Details:** - PRIME market powered by Chainlink's low-latency Data Streams - Includes Phantom's CASH product - Largest lending market on the Kamino protocol - Among the biggest lending markets across Solana The milestone builds on Kamino's April 2025 integration of Chainlink Data Streams, which brought pull-based oracle infrastructure to the protocol. Kamino remains Solana's largest DeFi lending protocol with over $2B in TVL. Chainlink Data Streams provides the low-latency market data that enables PRIME's performance and security.

Chainlink's Secure Value Recapture (SVR) oracle solution is now operational across five major blockchain networks: Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid's HyperEVM. More chains are planned for future integration. **What is SVR?** SVR enables DeFi protocols to recapture oracle extractable value (OEV) from liquidations, converting what was previously lost MEV into protocol revenue. The captured value is split between the protocol and Chainlink. **Proven Track Record** The Aave DAO recently expanded its SVR usage from 3% to 27% of its Ethereum TVL following a successful pilot. During testing, SVR liquidated at-risk positions without any bad-debt accrual, now covering major assets including AAVE, LINK, WBTC, USDC, and various wrapped ETH tokens across Aave v3 markets. DeFi protocols interested in implementing SVR can access [documentation](https://docs.chain.link/data-feeds/svr-feeds) to explore integration options.

**Polymarket has officially launched 15-minute prediction markets** powered by Chainlink's infrastructure on Polygon mainnet. The integration combines **Chainlink Data Streams and Automation** to enable: - Near-instant market settlement - Enhanced security through defense-in-depth architecture - Support for hundreds of crypto trading pairs Starting with asset pricing, this marks the beginning of an expanded collaboration between the two platforms. UMA's existing role on Polymarket remains unchanged, with Chainlink serving as an additional infrastructure layer specifically for this new market category.
