Chainlink is adding another feather to their crypto cap.
Kyber Network announced today the integration of decentralized Chainlink oraclesoracles, allowing users to verify on-chainon-chain prices for any tokentoken swaps they perform.
KyberSwap previously relied on price feeds from the Kyber Network, and users were encouraged to double check prices before swapping tokens. The integration is another example of Chainlink’s growing market dominance among oracle data-feed providers.
The Chainlink network provides industry leading on-chain pricing data used by many decentralized applications and protocols, including Aave, Polkadot, Tezos, and now Kyber. Chainlink reference feeds source data from a variety of aggregators to ensure coverage across all trading environments. Chainlink, which launched in September 2017, was also recently added to the Winklevoss-backed Gemini exchange.
Kyber Network has been in the news regularly over the past few months, adding support for Binance’s BUSD stablecoin and having the KNC protocol token added to Coinbase in March. Kyber was also recently accepted as one of the first seven projects to join the Chicago DeFi Alliance, and has seen the KNC token’s value increase more than 400% since the start of 2020.
DEX tokens are looking mighty attractive for investors these days. A new report from Messari shows that tokens connected to decentralized exchanges (DEX), such as Kyber Network and Bancor, are up more than 240% on average so far in 2020, compared to average gains around 40% for tokens connected to centralized exchanges. The run-ups show that despite centralized exchanges sizable lead in users and volume, there are meaningful advantages—and big potential upside—for those backing decentralized alt...
“Chainlink's decentralized oracle network is an important component of DeFi, providing reliable price feeds for users of dapps such as KyberSwap, our non-custodial token swap platform," said KyberSwap head of product at Sunny Jain.
Supplying accurate data to DeFi and other decentralized applications has proven to be an essential and growing factor in the world of digital assets. Decentralized oracles were not spared from the effects of network congestion during the March crypto crash, and separate incidents related to data-feed manipulation have highlighted the need for additional experimentation on the matter.
A variety of alternative options have materialized, including solutions from Band Protocol and Coinbase. Still other prospective alternatives are in the works, like UMA’s design for ‘priceless’ tokens that don’t rely on real time on-chain data feeds for price discovery.
With the new integration, two of DeFi’s oldest and most successful products have joined forces to make token swaps safer and more reliable. It may be just what the industry needs as it continues to grow at a breakneck pace.

A blockchain researcher accidentally burned approximately $58,000 worth of Pump.fun’s PUMP token on Solana—but he told Decrypt that he isn’t “sad or angry” about the costly mistake. The mistake came after he bought $40,000 worth of the token in Pump.fun’s sought-after token sale on Saturday, which sold out in just 12 minutes. Once the token launched, PUMP debuted at a price of $0.005827, which is 45% higher than its ICO valuation, bringing the unlucky trader’s losses to a total of $58,270. On Su...
Hyperliquid has rapidly become a major player in decentralized finance, but Project X aims to level the playing field on the layer-1 HyperEVM chain that powers it—and seeks to become the frontend for the ecosystem in the process. In a space crowded with teams racing to build similar platforms, the team insists its strategy stands apart. Rather than focusing solely on technical innovation, Project X sits down with Decrypt for an exclusive interview on how it is taking a distribution-first approac...
Some say crime doesn’t pay—but blockchain data suggests that an attacker who exploited a flaw in a GMX’s codebase earlier this week is walking away with a $5 million bounty. “Ok, funds will be returned later,” the individual said in an on-chain message on Friday, days after they absconded with over $40 million worth of crypto from the decentralized exchange. GMX, which specializes in perpetual futures trading on Avalanche and the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Arbitrum, was later sent $10 mill...
