The Stellar Development Foundation has officially announced that Stellar is joining Chainlink’s SCALE program, marking a major milestone in cross-chain connectivity and Web3 infrastructure growth. The collaboration unlocks powerful new capabilities for developers building on Stellar by integrating Chainlink’s industry-leading oracle services directly into the network. This move strengthens Stellar’s position in the rapidly expanding tokenization, DeFi, and real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem.
By joining SCALE (Sustainable Chainlink Access for Layer 1 and Layer 2 Enablement), Stellar will subsidize oracle costs to ensure fast, cost-efficient access to Chainlink’s Data Feeds, Proof of Reserve, CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol), and other decentralized services. This dramatically improves the developer experience and reduces friction for projects requiring secure off-chain data or multi-chain communication.
The integration arrives at a time when institutions and Web3 platforms are increasingly turning to tokenized assets and stablecoins, two areas where Stellar already excels. With Chainlink oracles now powering verifiable data feeds and cross-chain communication, developers can build more complex applications such as decentralized forex markets, cross-border payment platforms, multi-chain liquidity systems, and asset-backed tokens that require real-time proofs.
Stellar’s adoption of Chainlink’s CCIP also marks a major step toward true interoperability, allowing assets and messages to move securely between chains. This upgrade aligns with Stellar’s long-term strategy to support global financial access and seamless blockchain-to-blockchain integration.
For Chainlink, Stellar brings a mature payments-focused ecosystem and a strong foundation in regulated financial markets. Together, the partnership enhances the reliability, security, and scalability of Web3 applications across multiple blockchains.
This collaboration is more than just an integration — it represents a key advancement in the broader Web3 infrastructure stack. As blockchains shift from isolated networks to interconnected value layers, partnerships like Stellar × Chainlink will play a crucial role in enabling scalable, interoperable, real-world applications.
With Stellar now part of the SCALE program, developers and institutions gain the tools to build next-generation financial solutions with unprecedented security and interoperability. This upgrade reinforces Stellar’s commitment to driving innovation in global payments, tokenization, and accessible blockchain finance.
