Expanding on a Major Exchange

Chainlink announced the integration of over 35 Chainlink Price Feeds into Bybit’s spot trading platform on Polygon.

The exchange now has access to high-quality, decentralized price data feeds for high-volume trading pairs.

The integration was revealed to BSC News by the Chainlink team via press release.

“We’re always looking to improve Bybit’s price accuracy and transparency in spot trading,” said Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit. “With this integration of Chainlink Price Feeds, our users have stronger assurances that they are trading using real-time, fair-market price data and that the platform itself has an additional layer of protection during extreme market events.”

The new price data improves Bybit’s pricing mechanism and helps protect its 6 million users in the case of extreme market volatility.

Automating Armadillo

Armadillo integrated Chainlink Keepers on Polygon to support its impermanent loss protection. 

Chainlink automated bots monitor the impermanent loss protection platform to check if any protection periods have passed. Whenever a user’s protection period has ended, Chainlink Keepers request the payout on behalf of the user.

“Chainlink Keepers help ensure that payouts in our impermanent loss protection feature are executed autonomously, further establishing a high standard of security and decentralization for our platform,” said Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CEO of COTI, the team behind Armadillo.

Some of the features of Chainlink Keepers include: 

Decentralized Execution: It provides reliable, trust-minimized automation with no single point of failure, mitigating risks around manual processes and centralized servers.

Increased Efficiency: Projects can reduce time spent on DevOps, minimize operational overhead, and streamline development workflows. 

Enhanced Security: It enables automated smart contracts without exposing private keys. 

Easy-to-use: Devs can schedule time-based automation jobs in seconds.

Improving an NFT Marketplace

Solanart integrated Chainlink Price Feeds to help provide a better Non-Fungible Token (NFT) marketplace experience on Solana.

The tamper-proof price feeds will help assure users that NFTs priced in $USD reflect current market conditions more accurately.

“Chainlink Price Feeds have enabled us to give our users a better marketplace experience. In a fast-changing market, our users need to accurately calculate the value of their NFTs in USD. Thanks to our Chainlink integration, we were able to enhance our frontend and give our users the data they need,” said Arthur, Managing Director of Solanart.

Chainlink already helps secure leading DeFi protocols responsible for tens of billions of dollars in smart contract value, maintaining robust security and high availability even amidst unexpected events, such as exchange downtime and flash crashes.

Randomizing Alchemica Tokens

Aavegotchi, an open-source, community-owned NFT gaming protocol, expanded the use of Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF).

The protocol will use Chainlink VRF to transparently randomize the base amount of Gotchus Alchemica tokens stored in NFT land parcels, making the number of tokens players can extract unpredictable. 

“We’re excited to be using Chainlink VRF to help determine an unpredictable amount of Alchemica tokens that users can harvest when they mint a parcel of land in the Gotchiverse,” said founder and COO of Pixelcraft Studios, Jesse Johnson. “Not only do the randomized token allocations make our game more engaging, but using a secure source of on-chain randomness helps make our project more transparent.”

Chainlink VRF works by combining unknown block data with the oracle node’s private key to generate both a random number and a cryptographic proof. However, Aavegotchi’s smart contract will only accept the random number input if it has a valid cryptographic proof, which can only be generated if the VRF process is tamper-proof.
