Aptos Integrates Chainlink's Services
Vitalik Donates 30 ETH To Tornado Cash Developers' Legal Defense, DeLorean Brings Car Reservations On-Chain
Aptos Foundation announced yesterday a partnership and integration with Chainlink, including Chainlink's Cross-chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Data Feeds.
The initiative is part of the Chainlink SCALE, an access layer for the platform that enables networks to adopt and "fast-track" smart contracts at a low cost, natively.
Avalanche, Metis, Moonbeam, and Moonriver were some of the first projects to join SCALE. SCALE is powered by hybrid smart contracts and vastly cuts costs of operating oracles.
Aptos will be the first Move language-based project to integrate Chainlink CCIP and Data Feeds.
The main objective in integrating Chainlink's services for Aptos is to provide ecosystem developers with "mission-critical tools" and data for more seamless dApp building - now on Move.
