Blockchain scaling know-how agency StarkWare is about to accomplice with Chainlink Labs to convey oracle providers, information and value feeds to the StarkNet ecosystem.
The coalition will see StarkWare be part of Chainlink’s Scale program and brings Chainlink value feeds to StarkNet’s testnet. StarkNet tokens will even fund sure working prices for Chainlink oracle nodes, giving Starket builders entry to Chainlink oracle providers and information feeds.
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle community that allows good contracts to securely entry off-chain information sources, APIs and fee techniques. It permits good contracts to work together with real-world information and occasions, making it potential for them to be triggered by information from exterior sources.
The community options impartial nodes that present safe and dependable information to good contracts, incentivized by fee in Chainlink’s native LINK token. Node operators confirm and carry out information computations, which ensures correct and dependable information is delivered to good contracts.

An announcement from StarWare highlights the institution of a sustainable financial system between StarkNet and Chainlink. The mixing can be anticipated to supply the mandatory infrastructure for StarkNet builders to construct “extremely performant, more and more complicated, and safe good contract purposes.“
StarkWare product supervisor and researcher Ohad Barta advised Cointelegraph that work to introduce Chainlink’s oracle providers to StarkNet has been ongoing since June 2022. Numerous oracle providers might be built-in into StarkNet, in accordance with Barta, highlighting the advantage of variety in smaller and bigger oracles serving the community:
“Oracles are an integral part, they’re related in lots of use circumstances. A whole lot of purposes have to know the worth of property or NFTs. Oracles are like a whole toolkit.”
Barta additionally believes that the popularity of Chainlink’s providers throughout the Ethereum ecosystem is one other main motive for the combination with StarkNet:
“The principle profit is any software or startup can combine with Chainlink value feeds and know it is going to be correct and have some peace of thoughts when they’re constructing their product.”
An announcement from Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov highlighted the partnership’s potential in Chainlink oracle networks working at excessive speeds and low prices for Starknet customers and builders:
“By lowering the working prices of oracle nodes, StarkNet is ready to speed up its ecosystem’s development and turn into a extra enticing surroundings for constructing scalable DApps within the Web3 ecosystem.”
Chainlink information feeds are dwell on StarkNet’s testnet, with a mainnet integration anticipated within the coming months. Cointelegraph is presently protecting StarkWare Periods in Tel Aviv, Israel, the place the corporate introduced that it might make its proprietary Starknet Prover open supply. The prover is the engine that StarkWare makes use of in its zero-knowledge roll-up know-how.
