Aptos Integrates Chainlink to Boost Scalability and dApp Data Access

• Aptos integrates Chainlink Data Feeds to provide tamper-proof, real-time data, boosting scalability, reliability, and security for advanced decentralized applications.
• Chainlink’s partnership with Aptos empowers developers to build innovative Web3 solutions, leveraging high-performance blockchain and premium decentralized oracle technology.

Aptos, a Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain, announced the integration of Chainlink Data Feeds to improve scalability and reliability for decentralized applications (dApps). Known for its secure and decentralized Oracle network, the network enables developers to access tamper-proof, high-quality off-chain data. The integration positions Aptos to support more advanced applications on its platform.

Aptos highlighted in a recent update how Chainlink’s infrastructure consolidates premium data sources, reducing the risk of failures associated with single data points. This framework delivers secure, real-time data, enabling developers to create cutting-edge solutions tailored to Web3’s evolving needs.

The decentralized oracle network provided by Chainlink bolsters Aptos’ commitment to security and reliability. According to Thodoris Karakostas, Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink, Chainlink Data Feeds significantly enhance the dependability of applications on the Aptos network, fostering innovation as developers leverage this technology.

We are excited that Aptos has adopted the Chainlink standard. Chainlink Data Feeds will greatly enhance the reliability of applications built on the network, and we look forward to seeing the innovative ways developers leverage it,

Aptos Leverages Chainlink for Scalability

Aptos stands out as a high-performance blockchain, prioritizing speed and scalability. Its modular design, driven by the Move programming language and Block-STM engine, minimizes latency while ensuring smooth user interactions. Integration with Chainlink strengthens Aptos’ capacity to support enterprise-level decentralized applications with improved security and scalability.

Bashar Lazaar, Head of Grants and Ecosystem at the Aptos Foundation, highlighted the partnership’s importance by stressing how the Chainlink standard equips developers with reliable, tamper-proof data for creating secure applications.

The Chainlink standard enables developers to access high-quality, tamper-proof data, which is vital for building secure applications,

Chainlink’s impact extends beyond Aptos. Earlier this week, Ripple integrated Chainlink to support its RLUSD stablecoin, delivering secure price feeds on Ethereum and the XRP Ledger. Ripple’s partnership with Chainlink reflects the increasing need for reliable data in blockchain-based finance and further validates Chainlink’s critical role in advancing Web3.

Aave V3 Joins Aptos Testnet

Meanwhile, Aptos has achieved significant milestones. The blockchain recently introduced Aave V3, a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, to its testnet. As Aave’s initial expansion beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem, this development underscores increasing trust in layer 1 as a versatile blockchain solution.

Aave V3 has been deployed on @Aptos testnet, the first non-EVM deployment of the Aave Protocol

This testnet phase aims to validate Aave V3’s safety, stability, and performance on Aptos ahead of a potential mainnet launch.

Aptos utilizes the Move language and its dedicated virtual machine for executing smart contracts, deviating from the commonly used EVM and Solidity. It introduces a distinct perspective on blockchain modularity and transaction parallelization.

Alternative virtual machines are emerging as a major crypto trend for 2025. Among these, Aptos and Sui — both derivatives of Facebook’s Diem blockchain initiative—stand out as prominent contenders in the space.
