Zeta Markets Leverages Chainlink Price Feeds to Secure Perpetuals Exchange
Blockchain oracles are at the center of many decentralized finance protocols. They provide applications like Zeta with secure and reliable financial data that can be used on-chain, enabling the creation of innovative and open financial products.
Today we’re thrilled to announce that Zeta has integrated Chainlink Price Feeds on Solana mainnet. The integration will initially use the following Chainlink Price Feeds: BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and SOL/USD. By leveraging Chainlink’s reliable, high-speed, and decentralized price feeds, Zeta can improve the performance and resilience of its trading exchange. Adding Chainlink as a trusted oracle provider will help ensure that perpetuals and other contracts on Zeta are settled with even greater accuracy and reliability.
Zeta Markets is an under-collateralized derivatives platform with a fully on-chain risk engine and Central Limit Order Book (CLOB). Solana is the only mature ecosystem that provides the engineering flexibility to host such an application without compromising on decentralization.
Chainlink Price Feeds are an essential part of the trading infrastructure needed for DeFi on Solana to blossom. This combination of institutional-grade oracles, high-throughput base layer, and diverse validator set makes Solana one of the most performant chains for institutional finance. Thankfully, Chainlink has proven it can gracefully navigate unexpected events. This is essential for systems that handle trade execution and risk management, especially those that provide the added guarantees provided by web3.
“We’re excited to integrate Chainlink Price Feeds on Solana to help increase the resiliency and security of our protocol. We take platform security very seriously, so it’s critical to us that we leverage Chainlink’s industry-leading oracle solution to help ensure our protocol is as robust as possible to adverse market events.” — Tristan Frizza, Founder of Zeta Markets
