Dark Earth Integrates Chainlink
A blockchain gaming ecosystem, Dark Earth has integrated Chainlink Price Feeds on Polygon mainnet. By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, Dark Earth has access to high-quality, tamper-proof market data needed. This is to help calculate the price of Mystery Capsules.
Their initial integration involves the use of the following Chainlink Price Feed: MATIC/USD. Dark Earth chose Chainlink as their go-to oracle solution because its infrastructure is seamless to integrate and time-tested in production. In addition, Chainlink already helps secure leading DeFi protocols responsible for tens of billions of dollars in smart contract value, maintaining robust security and high availability even amidst unexpected events, such as exchange downtime, flash crashes, as well as data manipulation attacks via flash loans.
Through their own dApp, Dark Earth is carrying out a Genesis NFT Edition public sale of 15,000 Mystery Capsules, each containing 8 NFTs.
In order to help calculate the purchase price of Mystery Capsules. Fair market asset prices should reflect a volume-weighted average from all trading environments. Thus, they needed to make use of an oracle network to fetch aggregated price data off-chain and deliver it on-chain to be consumed by their application.
Why Dark Earth chose Chainlink?
After reviewing various oracle solutions, they integrated Chainlink Price Feeds because they provide a multitude of critical features such as:
● High-Quality Data — Chainlink Price Feeds source data from numerous premium data aggregators, leading to price data that’s aggregated from hundreds of exchanges, weighted by volume, and cleaned of outliers and wash trading. Chainlink’s data aggregation model generates more precise global market prices that are inherently resistant. To inaccuracies or manipulation of any single or small set of exchanges.
● Secure Node Operators — Chainlink Price Feeds are secured by independent, security-reviewed, and Sybil-resistant oracle nodes run by leading blockchain DevOps teams, data providers, and traditional enterprises. Chainlink nodes have a strong track record of reliability, even during high gas prices and infrastructure outages.
● Decentralized Network — Chainlink Price Feeds are decentralized at the data source, oracle node, and oracle network levels, generating strong protections against downtime and tampering by either the data provider or oracle network.
● Reputation System — Chainlink provides a robust reputation framework and set of on-chain monitoring tools that allow users to independently verify the historical and real-time performance of node operators and oracle networks.
Beyond this current integration, Dark Earth plans to leverage Chainlink in the future by integrating additional Price Feeds when expanding to other chains and by integrating other trust-minimized services, such as Chainlink VRF and Chainlink Keepers.
“Chainlink Price Feeds provide Dark Earth with highly secure and tamper-proof market data. To help calculate the purchase price of our Genesis NFT Edition Mystery Capsules. Helping us establish a high standard of transparency and reliability for our mint”. Hugo Borges de Sousa, CEO of Dark Earth.
