Stellar deployed Chainlink oracle infrastructure on its mainnet through the Chainlink Scale program. The Stellar Development Foundation said it will cover the operating costs to connect more than $3.54 billion in tokenized real-world assets that had been sitting largely unused on the network to decentralized markets. The move was presented as part of a push to strengthen Stellar’s role in structural DeFi and to compete with Ethereum in that area.

What it means

Stellar users and participants in tokenized real-world assets are the ones who would notice this first, because the network now has Chainlink oracle infrastructure on mainnet and the foundation said it will cover the operating costs to connect those assets to decentralized markets. That changes what can be connected on Stellar today, while the assets in question had previously sat largely unused on the network.
