TechFlow News — StarkWare, an Ethereum scaling development company, has partnered with blockchain oracle provider Chainlink Labs to expand application development on StarkNet, its decentralized Layer 2 zk-Rollup network.
As part of the collaboration, StarkWare has joined the Chainlink SCALE program—focused on accelerating blockchain and Layer 2 ecosystem growth—making Chainlink price feeds available on the StarkNet testnet. The partnership was announced in a statement on Monday.
StarkWare’s products have already generated over 300 million transactions, settled more than $800 billion, and minted over 95 million NFTs. Chainlink’s oracle network, serving approximately 725,000 active users, is the most widely used in DeFi, having secured over $7 trillion in transaction value.
Chainlink data fees are now live on the StarkNet testnet and are expected to launch on the mainnet in the near future, StarkWare said, adding that this will help accelerate StarkNet adoption and ecosystem growth.
Last weekend, StarkWare open-sourced a key component of StarkNet—StarkNet Prover—enhancing code transparency. This move completes the full open-sourcing of the StarkNet software stack, following the release of the Papyrus open-source client last month and the earlier November open-sourcing of its Cairo programming language.
Chainlink Labs announced SCALE in September, the same day banking messaging service SWIFT connected with oracle providers on a cross-chain interoperability proof-of-concept project.Original link
