TRON has partnered with Chainlink through the Chainlink SCALE program, positioning Chainlink Data Feeds as the official oracle provider for TRON’s ecosystem. This strategic move aims to enhance the security of over $6.5 billion in total value locked (TVL) across TRON’s DeFi landscape, including applications like JustLend and JustStable, while opening new opportunities for its $60 billion ecosystem of stablecoins and real-world assets.
As part of this integration, TRON will phase out its previous oracle solution, WINkLink, in favor of Chainlink’s high-quality and reliable data feeds. Founder Justin Sun highlighted this transition as a means to accelerate DeFi adoption on the TRON network by leveraging Chainlink’s trusted infrastructure. This move also aligns with Sun’s recent comments on expanding TRON’s ecosystem, including a focus on TRX and meme coins.
Under the SCALE program, TRON will initially cover some costs, such as gas fees for oracle services, which will later transition to user-funded fees from decentralized applications. According to Chainlink Labs’ Thodoris Karakostas, this collaboration empowers TRON developers to innovate within DeFi using reliable, decentralized on-chain data.
Chainlink, a leading provider of oracle solutions, secures over $16 trillion in transaction value across various blockchain networks, including Ethereum and Solana, and supports tens of billions in TVL. This partnership is set to reinforce TRON’s DeFi infrastructure, ensuring scalability, security, and a promising future for decentralized finance on the TRON network.
