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.

Digital assets may be firmly in the mainstream, with institutional involvement and a crypto-friendly president in the White House. But hackers and fraudsters are having a field day so far this year. Crypto users have lost over $1.7 billion to these groups—already 14% more than 2024’s total losses of $1.49 billion, according to blockchain security firm Immunefi. In the same period last year, losses totaled $420 million, the firm said. The report comes amid ongoing concerns about the vulnerabil...
Libre, a regulated real-world asset platform, and the TON Foundation have launched a $500 million tokenized fund on The Open Network, aiming to bring Telegram’s $2.4 billion in corporate debt onto the blockchain for the first time. Dubbed the Telegram Bond Fund, the product allows institutional and accredited investors to gain exposure to Telegram’s outstanding bonds directly through the TON blockchain, according to a statement shared with Decrypt. The fund will also participate in future Telegr...
Solana decentralized exchange Raydium has deployed its native token launchpad, which is designed to rival the popular Pump.fun. This comes almost a month after Pump.fun deployed its own decentralized exchange, cutting ties with Raydium in the process. LaunchLab by Raydium offers a more sophisticated token creation process, compared to Pump.fun’s simplistic approach. The new launchpad allows for deployers to toy with the token supply, how many tokens will be sold on the bonding curve, and how muc...
