Infura integrates with Chainlink
Infura integrates with Chainlink as a Node Operator. the Chainlink Network has delivered 2B+ data points to smart contracts across the Web3 ecosystem.
Much of this growth can be attributed to its expanding network of top node operators, which helps ensure the seamless delivery of external data to smart contract applications. Additionally, these node operators include some of the world’s leading enterprises, such as Swisscom and Deutsche Telekom.
Integration explanation
Infura is excited to announce that they are joining this world-class group of node operators. By joining the Chainlink Network as a node operator, Infura will be able to provide critical infrastructure for servicing the growing adoption of Web3 and help unlock the next generation of blockchain use cases.
Infura makes it quick, easy, and cost-effective for developers to connect to Ethereum and IPFS and start building decentralized applications. With 99.9% uptime, more than 400,000 registered users, and 8.5 billion requests are made via all its networks daily. Also, over 263 million ETH transacted via its Ethereum API in 2021.
Additionally, Infura is a critical Web3 infrastructure that provides tools that enable developers to easily take their blockchain application from testing to scaled deployment. Infura’s network utilizes a backend by popular Ethereum services including MetaMask, as well as Uniswap, and Truffle.
Furthermore, Chainlink, the industry-standard decentralized oracle network (DON), is the most widely adopted oracle solution. Likewise, Chainlink DONs connect smart contract applications to existing web APIs, off-chain computations, and other blockchain networks. It also helps expand the utility of decentralized applications across the multichain ecosystem.
Joining the Chainlink Network enables Infura to help provide the mission-critical infrastructure. It also empowers the smart contract economy with data points that offer definitive truth about the real world. In return, operators can earn revenue by receiving rewards for network contributions.
“Infura has established itself as one of the leading service providers in the Web3 industry, providing smart contract developers with a set of high-quality tools that lower the barrier to entry for building decentralized applications. Given its large user base and expanding set of developer resources, it makes sense for Infura to become a node operator on the Chainlink Network to support further innovation in the smart contract ecosystem.”— William Herkelrath, Managing Director at Chainlink Labs.
Additionally, Chainlink has proven itself as the industry leader in the oracle network space which is why Infura chooses this platform. The Chainlink Network has a multitude of time-tested features. It enables security, transparency, and authenticity in data delivery, making it the leading oracle solution for dApps and node operators.
ABOUT Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services needed to power hybrid smart contracts on any blockchain. The Chainlink oracle networks provide smart contracts. With a way to reliably connect to any external API and leverage secure off-chain computations for enabling feature-rich applications. Chainlink currently secures tens of billions of dollars across DeFi, insurance, gaming, and other major industries. It also offers global enterprises and leading data providers a universal gateway to all blockchains.
