Blockchain scaling know-how agency StarkWare is ready to associate with Chainlink Labs to convey oracle providers, knowledge and worth feeds to the StarkNet ecosystem.
The coalition will see StarkWare be a part of Chainlink’s Scale program and brings Chainlink worth 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 knowledge feeds.
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle community that allows sensible contracts to securely entry off-chain knowledge sources, APIs and fee methods. It permits sensible contracts to work together with real-world knowledge and occasions, making it attainable for them to be triggered by knowledge from exterior sources.
The community options impartial nodes that present safe and dependable knowledge to sensible contracts, incentivized by fee in Chainlink’s native LINK token. Node operators confirm and carry out knowledge computations, which ensures correct and dependable knowledge is delivered to sensible contracts.

An announcement from StarWare highlights the institution of a sustainable financial system between StarkNet and Chainlink. The mixing can also be anticipated to offer the required infrastructure for StarkNet builders to construct “extremely performant, more and more advanced, and safe sensible contract purposes.“
StarkWare product supervisor and researcher Ohad Barta instructed Cointelegraph that work to introduce Chainlink’s oracle providers to StarkNet has been ongoing since June 2022. Varied oracle providers shall be built-in into StarkNet, in accordance with Barta, highlighting the good thing about range in smaller and bigger oracles serving the community:
“Oracles are an integral part, they’re related in lots of use instances. A variety of purposes have to know the value 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 worth feeds and know it is going to be correct and have some peace of thoughts when they’re constructing their product.”
A press release 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 decreasing the working prices of oracle nodes, StarkNet is ready to speed up its ecosystem’s development and change into a extra engaging setting for constructing scalable DApps within the Web3 ecosystem.”
Chainlink knowledge feeds are reside on StarkNet’s testnet, with a mainnet integration anticipated within the coming months. Cointelegraph is at present protecting StarkWare Periods in Tel Aviv, Israel, the place the corporate introduced that it will make its proprietary Starknet Prover open source. The prover is the engine that StarkWare makes use of in its zero-knowledge roll-up know-how.
