The move positions Stellar to connect tokenized assets to DeFi using Chainlink’s proven infrastructure.
Overview
- Stellar Development Foundation announced a partnership with Chainlink that brings CCIP, Data Feeds, and Data Streams to the Stellar network and enrolls it in the Chainlink Scale program.
- CCIP is set to enable secure cross-chain asset movement on Stellar, including token-agnostic transfers and programmable token transfers for developers and institutions.
- Chainlink’s team cites infrastructure that has secured more than $100 billion in DeFi total value as the foundation for institutional-grade security and reliability.
- Stellar frames the integration as accelerating real-world asset use cases alongside DeFi, noting $5.4 billion in RWA payment volume on the network last quarter.
- The announcement prompted slight gains in XLM and LINK, with technical rollout and ecosystem adoption expected to proceed following the press release.
