• With Chainlink CCIP, Data Streams, and Data Feeds live from day one as its official oracle infrastructure, Plasma unlocks global stablecoin liquidity, real-time payments, and secure cross-chain connectivity to over 60 other blockchain networks
• Plasma has also joined Chainlink Scale to drive the next wave of stablecoin adoption
• Aave and other leading DeFi protocols are live on Plasma with Chainlink, powering the next wave of DeFi use cases

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, and Plasma, a high-performance layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins, announced today that Plasma has joined the Chainlink Scale program and adopted Chainlink as its official oracle provider via the Chainlink data and interoperability standards, enabling access to verifiable, low-latency market data and highly secure cross-chain connectivity. Chainlink Data Streams, Data Feeds, and the Cross-chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) are live on Plasma from day one, enabling developers to build advanced stablecoin use cases and support a robust, data-rich onchain payments ecosystem. Aave—the world's largest and most trusted liquidity protocol—is live on Plasma at launch, leveraging Chainlink CCIP and Data Feeds, and showcasing how leading DeFi protocols are rapidly integrating Plasma.

Plasma is a high-performance layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for global stablecoin payments. Unlike general-purpose chains, Plasma is designed from the ground up to meet the unique demands of stablecoins—offering zero-fee transfers, customizable gas tokens, confidential payments, and the throughput to support high-volume, low-cost transactions at a global scale. With over $2B in stablecoin liquidity ready at launch and native EVM compatibility, Plasma provides developers with a stablecoin-optimized environment and all the tools they need to build scalable, composable financial applications for onchain remittances, micropayments, cross-border payments, and more.

"Stablecoins are one of the most important use cases in crypto. They give everyone, everywhere permissionless access to core financial services, including saving, spending, and earning. Plasma is building the infrastructure for this global financial system, and we are thrilled to join Chainlink Scale and adopt the Chainlink data and interoperability standards. With Chainlink, Plasma can scale our onchain ecosystem, strengthen our stablecoin rails, and bring mainstream adoption closer to reality." – Paul Faecks, Founder and CEO

By integrating Chainlink Data Streams and Data Feeds, Plasma ensures developers have access to fast, reliable, and tamper-resistant price data that underpins its entire stablecoin economy. Chainlink Data Streams provides low-latency, sub-second markets data ideal for powering real-time onchain payments and high-frequency settlement. Together, these services give Plasma developers secure oracle infrastructure needed to build secure, composable stablecoin applications and scale the network to support global adoption. Chainlink Data Feeds, which already secures over $100B+ in total value across DeFi, delivers high-integrity reference prices for stablecoin trading pairs and collateralized applications enabling: lending markets, borrowing protocols, derivatives, and stablecoin-backed liquidity pools.

In addition to the integration of Data Streams and Data Feeds, developers will also gain access to Chainlink CCIP, equipping developers with a reliable, future-proof foundation for building secure cross-chain applications. Chainlink CCIP unlocks global market access, maximizes liquidity through seamless cross-chain asset utility, and provides battle-tested security backed by infrastructure that has already enabled tens of trillions in onchain transaction value. CCIP also enables seamless stablecoin transfers and messaging across blockchains with minimal integration overhead.

"By adopting the Chainlink standard and joining the Chainlink Scale program, Plasma is demonstrating how new layer 1 networks can launch with enterprise-grade stablecoin infrastructure from day one. With Chainlink services like CCIP, Data Streams, and Data Feeds available natively—and Aave bringing deep stablecoin liquidity to the ecosystem—Plasma is positioned to lead in building the next generation of stablecoin and onchain payment applications."—Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs

"Stablecoins are foundational to DeFi's growth, and Aave secures over 70% of all stablecoins across DeFi lending. Bringing that deep liquidity to Plasma from day one—alongside Chainlink's leading oracle infrastructure—extends it to a high-throughput network and a new community of builders. Together we unlock instant, low-cost stablecoin movement and secure cross-chain connectivity for real-time payments and next-generation onchain finance," said Stani Kulechov, Founder & CEO, Aave Labs

CCIP's modular risk management and compliance capabilities empower stablecoin developers to tailor interoperability requirements for their specific use cases, with features like Token Developer Attestation for permissioned token movement, policy enforcement tools for customizable transfer rules, and a defense-in-depth model that uses multiple decentralized oracle networks (DONs) to validate every transaction. As CCIP continues to evolve, stablecoins gain access to a growing suite of capabilities designed to meet the needs of both Web3-native teams and institutions integrating across an expanding network of public and private chains.
