Power exchanges and trading venues with trusted pricing, standardized messaging, and interoperable settlement across public and private networks.
Chainlink unlocks critical new capabilities
Bring exchange-trade benchmark data onchain
Institutional benchmark distribution
Deliver official benchmark and reference pricing onchain (e.g., closing levels and derived rates) so tokenized markets can leverage the same inputs used in traditional markets.
Always-on valuation and risk automation
Support collateral valuation, margining, and risk controls with verifiable benchmark data in a 24/7 environment for onchain products and workflows.
New benchmark-linked products
Enable tokenized fixed income and multi-asset instruments that reference established benchmarks (rates, FX, metals), with smart contracts consuming standardized, machine-readable data.
Distribute and monetize venue data
New revenue from market data
Commercialize proprietary prices, reference data, and disclosures across multiple blockchains using enterprise-grade delivery, turning existing data products into new onchain distribution channels.
Permissioned access & entitlements
Maintain control with configurable access rights and usage policies, ensuring only authorized users and applications can consume your data.
Scale distribution with one integration
Support secure, private cross-chain transactions that protect financial data and business logic while ensuring regulatory compliance and verifiability.
Enable tokenized securities as onchain collateral
Expand utility for tokenized equities and ETFs
Enable tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other securities to be used as collateral in onchain lending and borrowing workflows, unlocking new balance sheet and liquidity use cases.
Real-time valuation and risk controls
Support collateral valuation, margining, and liquidation triggers using verifiable pricing and reference data, helping protocols and venues manage volatility and concentration risk.
Programmable collateral mobility
Add real-time risk monitoring, automated compliance policies, and smarter collateral management to transactions across blockchains to reduce risk.
Unlock interoperability across venues and networks
Cross-venue market connectivity
Route trading instructions, market data, and lifecycle events across onchain and offchain environments to reduce fragmentation and expand accessible liquidity pools.
Interoperable post-trade workflows
Coordinate clearing/confirmation, allocations, and settlement instructions across networks, supporting multi-leg transactions (e.g. DvP) with auditability and operational control.
Standardized integration at scale
Connect once and extend to multiple chains and venue ecosystems, reducing bespoke point-to-point builds as new networks and tokenized products come online.
