Geneva, Switzerland, May 15, 2025 – TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), has adopted Chainlink Data Feeds as the official data oracle solution for the TRON ecosystem. This upgrade follows TRON DAO joining the Chainlink Scale program in October 2024.The integration of Chainlink Data Feeds represents a strategic enhancement for TRON’s DeFi infrastructure, reinforcing security and reliability across the ecosystem. By adopting Chainlink as the official oracle solution, TRON DAO ensures that DeFi applications on the network benefit from the Chainlink standard for verifiable data.“We’re excited that the TRON community has upgraded to Chainlink Data Feeds as the official data oracle solution for the TRON network, following TRON DAO’s decision to join the Chainlink Scale program earlier last year to accelerate its ecosystem’s growth. With over $5.5 billion in DeFi TVL on TRON now secured by Chainlink oracles, this upgrade marks a major milestone in the TRON DAO community’s commitment to leveraging robust and scalable DeFi infrastructure,” said Thodoris Karakostas, Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink Labs.By leveraging Chainlink’s verifiable data infrastructure, TRON DAO continues to advance its mission of fostering a decentralized, transparent, and secure blockchain ecosystem.
