TraderMade Launches Chainlink Node to Provide DeFi With Premium Financial Index Data

We are excited to announce that TraderMade has launched our own Chainlink node live on the main net, giving Smart Contract Applications on-chain access to our premium financial market data, starting with real-time prices for CFDs that track financial indexes and CFDs that track commodities futures. Developers and dApps can now call the TraderMade Chainlink node to obtain these data feeds and use them within various data-driven Decentralized Finance (DeFi) products such as to settle futures markets, price asset swaps, or determine the outcome of prediction markets.

As the most widely-used and time-tested oracle solution in the blockchain industry, Chainlink provides a secure and fully functional middleware that gets our existing APIs compatible with the leading blockchain networks. By operating a Chainlink node, we now have a single gateway to supply our data to any current or future blockchain, as well as cryptographically sign our data on-chain to prove that it originated from TraderMade. The setup process was quick and seamless, ultimately exposing our data to an expansive emerging market in DeFi with very little integration work on our end.

For more information on why we selected Chainlink, read our previous announcement to explore this topic in detail.

Through Chainlink, we can continue making our premium and high-uptime datasets available to DeFi and the wider smart contract economy to suffice growing demand. This will enable the creation of many innovative financial products and markets built upon new data-driven decentralized financial infrastructure that is more fair, transparent, and accessible to everyone around the world.

“We’re thrilled to launch a live node on the growing Chainlink Network and give smart contract developers the ability to obtain premium financial data from the TraderMade APIs,” said Chris Randall, CEO & CTO of TraderMade. “Now we can directly integrate with DeFi projects and support new decentralized financial markets by provisioning the high-quality data they need to price and settle contracts. The Chainlink node not only accelerated our timeline for supporting blockchain-based markets, but future-proofs us as a data provider to changes that may occur in the industry.”
