Chainlink Brings Low-Latency Market Data to Injective Core

Chainlink is now live on Injective as its preferred oracle solution, meaning Injective developers can access low-latency price data, reliable market feeds, and verified cross-chain messaging directly within the network. This integration brings Chainlink Data Streams and institutional-grade oracle infrastructure onto the Injective mainnet.

Injective confirms that this rollout is active across its ecosystem, including Helix, its leading spot and perpetual trading platform. With Chainlink support, Injective developers now have the data infrastructure needed to build production-ready dApps without relying on custom feeds or external services. 

Why Chainlink Is Now the Preferred Oracle on Injective

Injective introduced Chainlink Data Streams to provide sub-second, verifiable market data across its network. The platform chose Chainlink because of its track record in powering over $26 trillion in onchain transaction value and its use across major DeFi systems.

This integration allows Injective to unify its developer stack. Instead of relying on separate tooling for price feeds, message passing, and market data, builders can depend on one standard oracle layer.

Injective benefits from several core features:

• Low-latency price updates
• Verified data pipelines
• High-frequency data support
• Compatibility with Injective's orderbook and Web3 modules
• Ability to serve crypto, RWA, equities, and ETF feeds

Injective’s ecosystem now supports real-time U.S. equities, ETF pricing, crypto markets, and RWA valuations. This allows developers to build more advanced financial products without managing off-chain infrastructure.

Injective Becomes a Full Stack for Onchain Finance

Injective already provides several key components for financial applications: a native orderbook, Web3 finance modules, MultiVM support, RWA tokenization features, and a shared liquidity layer. Adding Chainlink fills the final gap—data.

This turns Injective into a complete stack where developers can move from idea to production with minimal friction.

Main components now available on Injective:

• Chainlink Data Streams for real-time data
• Injective’s high-performance orderbook
• MultiVM support for EVM and non-EVM developers
• Shared liquidity across applications
• RWA tooling for tokenized assets
• Production-ready modules for finance applications

This combined stack replaces the fragmented experience typically seen in DeFi, where developers must assemble oracles, settlement layers, execution environments, and liquidity sources on their own.

Helix Adopts Chainlink Data Streams for All Markets

Helix, Injective’s major spot and perpetual exchange, is the first protocol on the network to adopt Chainlink Data Streams as its official oracle system. This enables Helix to deliver real-time pricing across crypto and real-world asset markets.

Helix now supports:

• Sub-second price updates
• 24/7 crypto feeds
• 24/5 U.S. equity and ETF pricing
• Verified market data for RWA markets

These data features allow Helix to offer stable mark prices, reliable funding rate calculations, and accurate contract settlement. With these feeds, traders face fewer price discrepancies and have consistent data when managing positions.

What Developers Can Build Using Chainlink on Injective

With Chainlink Data Streams active, Injective can now support financial markets that require precise and fast updates. Developers can deploy systems that track real-time instrument prices and verify them onchain.

New categories of applications now possible:

• Tokenized stock and ETF trading
• Synthetic equities
• Pre-IPO perpetuals
• Structured financial products
• Advanced derivatives
• RWA valuation and price feeds

Because Chainlink supports low-latency updates, these applications can operate closer to traditional market standards while still remaining fully onchain.

Also, developers can now:

• Use the same Chainlink endpoints found on major chains
• Avoid custom data integrations
• Launch products with verifiable security
• Reduce time spent building infrastructure

This lowers development overhead and helps teams move from testing to live deployment faster.

Chainlink Strengthens Its Position Across Web3 Ecosystems

This Injective integration comes a day after Chainlink joined two major ecosystem initiatives: Project Rubicon and NEXPACE’s Ecosystem Fund. 

Project Rubicon, developed by General Tao Ventures, is designed to bring Bittensor subnet tokens to the Base network. It converts subnet alpha tokens into ERC-20 liquid staked assets called xAlpha. These new assets maintain exposure to the original subnet while allowing holders to use them in DeFi markets.

Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is the core infrastructure powering Rubicon’s secure transfers. CCIP includes:

• Verified cross-chain messaging
• Rate-limited transfer channels
• Routing checks for high-value asset movement

This setup supports Bittensor subnet teams that want broader liquidity without giving up control of their native assets.

On the other hand, NEXPACE, the team behind MapleStory Universe, has launched a new Ecosystem Fund of up to $50 million to support long-term growth across its Web3 gaming and IP-driven ecosystem. The fund will back projects across gaming, digital finance, AI, and asset ownership.

Chainlink Labs joins as a strategic advisory partner, along with Altos Ventures, GSR, and Hashed — offering guidance rather than direct capital.

The fund aims to expand onchain financial infrastructure, invest in AI systems suited for IP-rich worlds, support tokenized RWAs, strengthen the Web3 builder economy, and remove the limitations seen in older, siloed blockchain games.

Chainlink Expands to Aptos With Data Streams and DataLink

Chainlink has also integrated with the Aptos blockchain on Nov. 8, bringing Data Streams and DataLink to its developer ecosystem. Aptos developers can now access low-latency data and verified institutional-grade information similar to what Injective now offers.

These services improve core DeFi functions such as:

• Derivatives pricing
• Funding rate calculations
• Liquidity monitoring
• Accurate mark price tracking

Decibel, a decentralized derivatives platform, is the flagship launch partner. It uses Chainlink Data Streams and DataLink to calculate pricing inputs with higher precision. Decibel plans to go live on testnet in November, using these data feeds as the foundation for its trading infrastructure.

Conclusion

Chainlink’s integration on Injective delivers a complete data and oracle solution for any application requiring real-time pricing, secure feeds, and reliable onchain infrastructure. Injective developers now have access to sub-second updates, verified cross-chain messaging, high-frequency data support, and institutional-grade price feeds. Combined with Injective’s native modules and MultiVM environment, the network now offers a full stack for building production-ready finance applications with consistent tooling and dependable data.
