Chainlink and MegaETH Launch Real-Time On-Chain Data Stream Oracle

According to BlockBeats, Chainlink and MegaETH have announced the deployment of the first real-time, on-chain data stream oracle on MegaETH. This unprecedented protocol-level implementation delivers Chainlink's trusted market data to the blockchain with sub-millisecond latency. The integration seamlessly incorporates Chainlink data streams into MegaETH's execution environment through native precompilation, enabling any smart contract to access real-time, high-frequency market data. This development lays a new foundation for real-time decentralized finance (DeFi), allowing applications like perpetual contracts, prediction markets, and stablecoins to achieve centralized exchange (CEX)-level responsiveness and precision while maintaining full on-chain composability. Lei, co-founder and CTO of MegaETH, stated that integrating Chainlink data streams at the protocol layer provides developers with low-latency, efficient on-chain market data, which is essential for building the next generation of real-time decentralized financial applications. This integration introduces a new oracle model that combines the simplicity of traditional on-chain oracles with the immediacy of data streams. Chainlink data streams refresh instantly when accessed by contracts, eliminating latency mismatches and redundant updates. Any smart contract can directly read real-time market data from precompilation without the need for custom off-chain logic. Chainlink's extensive network supports various asset classes, including cryptocurrencies, equities, commodities, and real-world assets (RWAs), enabling the scalability of high-performance DeFi. The initial deployment focuses on high-frequency crypto assets, establishing a new low-latency standard for on-chain price discovery. When oracle latency is reduced to single-digit milliseconds and data quality meets institutional benchmarks, DeFi achieves parity with centralized trading infrastructure, enabling real-time settlement, precise funding rates, and continuously updated derivatives, all secured by Ethereum. Chainlink is the largest and most trusted data provider in the crypto space. Its oracles have supported over $25 trillion in transaction volume, securing more than $100 billion in total value locked, and have verified over 18 billion cross-chain messages. Chainlink data streams are a low-latency oracle solution designed for applications requiring high-frequency market data, supported by Chainlink's decentralized oracle network (DON). Independent nodes aggregate, verify, and sign each data report before transmission, ensuring data integrity while maintaining real-time updates. MegaETH, the first real-time blockchain, is secured by Ethereum and supported by a highly optimized execution environment and heterogeneous architecture. It achieves 10-millisecond block times and up to 100,000 TPS streaming throughput. Developers can extend applications through real-time state streams, and users can enjoy instant transactions while fully retaining Ethereum's composability.
