Chainlink's Data Streams Live on Scroll: Revolutionizing DeFi

Chainlink's Data Streams have officially gone live on the Scroll mainnet, marking a significant milestone for the decentralized oracle platform. This integration, announced on January 29, 2025, provides developers on the zkEVM platform with access to Chainlink's low-latency market data.

With Chainlink Data Streams now operational on Scroll, developers can harness a solution that combines low latency and automated execution to build next-generation decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. These DeFi apps will benefit from features such as faster transaction settlement, lower fees, and advanced blockchain functionality.

Raza Zaidi, head of growth at Scroll, expressed his enthusiasm about the integration: "Chainlink Data Streams enable Scroll developers to build high-performance dApps underpinned by Chainlink’s decentralized, credibly neutral infrastructure. This provides developers with the tools to unlock new possibilities in DeFi innovation, as we continue to build the Open Economy."

Scroll joined the Chainlink Scale program in August 2023, partnering with Chainlink to accelerate ecosystem growth. This collaboration has enabled the rollup solution's ecosystem of developers to access expert technical support and other services on the leading oracle network.

Leveraging Chainlink's DeFi oracle infrastructure offers more than just faster transaction settlement and unmatched security. It allows developers to create DeFi apps with a better user experience, comparable to what users expect from traditional finance platforms and centralized exchanges.

Scroll launched its mainnet in October 2023, following two years of development. Since then, the project has partnered with industry players such as Ether.fi, Alchemy Pay, and Nansen as part of its strategy to drive growth.
