Hedera integrates Chainlink's decentralized data feeds to ensure secure, tamper-proof access for DeFi applications and tokenized real-world assets.
Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve feature boosts trust by offering real-time reserve verification, enhancing Hedera’s ecosystem security and transparency.
The collaboration drives innovation in Hedera’s network, enabling developers to build scalable financial applications with reliable market data and decentralized infrastructure.
Hedera has now officially integrated Chainlink’s decentralized oracles, empowering its decentralized finance and tokenized real-world asset functionality. Through this integration, Hedera’s developers get reliable, immutable data feeds and reserve verification. This is necessary for building high throughput applications in the financial space.

The integration seeks to allow Chainlink to use DON to provide accurate data with more transparency, especially for lending apps. This is anticipated to help Hedera’s ecosystem evolve as well as drive product adoption and general tokenization on the blockchain.
Chainlink Data Feeds for Reliable Market Data
Through the partnership, Hedera developers now have access to Chainlink’s market-leading data feeds. This aggregates data from multiple trusted sources and delivers accurate, manipulation-resistant pricing. Such data feeds are crucial for DeFi platforms and allow the functioning of some processes, such as risk assessment.
Chainlink’s setup is decentralized, to ensure that the data is properly delivered. Combining these feeds, Hedera provides its developers with the tools to develop financial instruments that could exist in the middle of the current economy and blockchain.
Proof of Reserve for Enhanced Trust
Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve feature further strengthens Hedera’s ecosystem by offering real-time verification of reserve-backed tokenized assets. This transparency is essential for DeFi projects, enabling users and investors can trust the collateralization claims of tokenized assets.
The decentralized reserve verification approach provided by Chainlink eliminates risks commonly associated with centralized auditing processes. This capability empowers applications built on Hedera to establish greater trust with their user base, adhering to higher security standards.
Elaine Song, VP of Strategy at The HBAR Foundation, emphasized the importance of integrating Chainlink’s standards into Hedera’s developer toolkit. She highlighted its role in fostering a secure and scalable DeFi environment.
HBAR Sees Positive Market Impact
Hedera’s ecosystem developments have also coincided with a notable surge in the value of its native token, HBAR. Since early November, HBAR has experienced a near 500% increase in market value, partly fueled by the announcement of the first HBAR exchange-traded fund (ETF) filing by Canary Capital.
This ETF, designed to avoid derivatives and futures, focuses on direct token holdings, simplifying investment options for institutions and retail investors. The integration of Chainlink services expected to further bolster confidence in Hedera’s network and its potential to support innovative financial solutions.
This collaboration underscores the growing importance of decentralized oracles in advancing blockchain ecosystems, with Hedera now well-positioned to expand its influence in the DeFi and RWA sectors.
