Aptos, a leading layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain, has announced incorporating Chainlink data feeds for better, more reliable decentralized applications (dApps). Chainlink’s decentralized Oracle network allows developers to access secure, high-quality, off-chain data.
Benefits of the Integration
This integration will enable the blockchain to provide technical support for developing advanced applications on its platform. The layer-1 blockchain believes Chainlink’s framework combines premium data sources, which helps reduce the risk of single-point data failures.
Thus, this infrastructure provides secure, real-time data that developers use to create solutions that meet the needs of the Web3 industry. A top-level executive at Chainlink, Thodoris Karakostas, said this integration will boost the reliability of applications built on the network.
As a high-performance blockchain, Aptos provides smooth user interactions as its modular design (built on the Block-STM engine and Move programming language) and ensures almost zero latency.
Aptos Foundation’s head of Grants and Ecosystem, Bashar Lazaar, shared insights similar to those of Karakostas:
The Chainlink standard enables developers to access high-quality, tamper-proof data, which is vital for building secure applications
Besides Aptos, Ripple is another technology firm using the Chainlink framework to provide transparent price feeds on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchains to support the RLUSD stablecoin.
The two firms’ use of the Chainlink framework proves its vital role in the growth of the Web3 industry.
Aptos Adds Aave V3 To Its Testnet
Earlier this week, the layer-1 blockchain added the Aave v3 protocol to its testnet. The move marks Aave’s expansion outside the Ethereum virtual machine (EVM) ecosystem.
It also proves the rising trust in layer-1s as a dependable blockchain solution. Aptos executes smart contracts with its Move language and virtual machine, which is unique compared to the popular Solidity language.
Also, Aptos and Sui are among the top alternative virtual machines (AVMs) for 2025. Analysts predict these AVMs could become an important crypto trend this year.
