Chainlink pricing Feeds enable the DeFi ecosystem to securely incorporate bIB01, bIBTA, and bCSPX (Backed Finance’s tokenized representation of the aforementioned assets) within their protocols by assisting in the provision of secure and trustworthy pricing data for these real-world assets.

As a leading pioneer in tokenized RWAs, Backed Finance issues freely transferable backed Tokens (bTokens) on the blockchain that track the prices of publicly traded assets.

However, growing the adoption of these assets within the larger DeFi ecosystem requires robust and independent pricing data, which unlocks the ability to securely leverage these assets within advanced decentralized protocols.

As the industry-standard price oracle solution for the Web3 ecosystem, Chainlink Price Feeds have a proven history of reliability, security, decentralization, and widespread adoption within the DeFi ecosystem. It was mission-critical that the price data for IBO1, IBTA, and CSPX was made available on-chain by Chainlink Price Feeds specifically.

In the near future, they also plan to integrate Chainlink Proof of Reserve—the leading asset collateral monitoring service in Web3—to enhance the transparency of Backed’s products and help provide a publicly accessible, real-time collateralization information for Backed products.
