Today, we announced the integration of Chainlink Data Streams on Taiko Alethia, establishing Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, as the official oracle infrastructure for our network. This integration provides reliable, highly granular market data to accelerate the growth and adoption of onchain apps across the Taiko ecosystem.

This strategic integration reinforces our vision for maximum reliability and security while delivering tangible performance benefits. By bringing high-quality, tamper-proof market data to Taiko’s based rollup architecture, developers can build advanced DeFi applications such as lending protocols, derivatives platforms, and other decentralized applications. As a based rollup, Taiko utilizes Ethereum validators for transaction sequencing, ensuring maximum decentralization and resistance to censorship.

“Adopting Chainlink Data Streams as our official oracle solution ensures the Taiko ecosystem has access to secure, high-fidelity market data. As the most Ethereum-aligned L2, this integration positions us to accelerate institutional adoption and attract smart capital beyond traditional DeFi use cases. Chainlink’s industry-standard infrastructure supports our vision of bringing real-world applications on-chain while maintaining our commitment to decentralization,” said Joaquin Mendes, COO at Taiko.

Beyond DeFi applications, this strategic integration positions Taiko to capitalize on the next wave of institutional blockchain adoption. As enterprises and traditional finance seek secure, decentralized infrastructure for tokenized assets and smart contracts, Taiko’s based rollup architecture—combined with Chainlink’s battle-tested oracle platform—creates a compelling foundation for institutional-grade applications.

This integration will also enable macroeconomic data from the US Department of Commerce to be posted on Taiko through Chainlink’s infrastructure.

Chainlink Data Streams delivers key technical features for DeFi protocols on Taiko, including liquidity-weighted bid-ask spreads for enhanced risk management, flexible report schemas that capture deeper market data, and proven infrastructure that has enabled $25+ trillion in onchain transaction volume across leading DeFi applications.

“We’re thrilled that Taiko has chosen Chainlink Data Streams as its official oracle solution to accelerate the growth of its DeFi ecosystem. Via sub-second, highly secure market data delivered through Chainlink’s proven infrastructure that’s already securing over $100 billion across DeFi, Taiko is now positioned to unlock significant DeFi innovation and support institutional-grade applications with the reliability they demand,” said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs.

We’re excited to embark on this partnership with Chainlink and can’t wait to see how developers, institutions, and the broader Ethereum community leverage this integration to build the next generation of onchain applications on Taiko.
