We’re excited to announce that StarkDefi is officially joining the Chainlink BUILD program. As a part of BUILD, we aim to accelerate the growth of our ecosystem and the long-term adoption of our DeFi solutions hub supported by enhanced access to Chainlink’s industry-leading oracle services, additional technical support, and better incentivized cryptoeconomic security. In exchange, we commit to providing network fees and other benefits to the Chainlink community and service providers, including stakers.

For us at StarkDefi, Chainlink was always going to be an integral part of our services, which is why we are very happy to build upon that relationship by participating in their BUILD program. We are currently using Chainlink Price Feeds for our price prediction markets and Chainlink VRF on testnet.

We’re confident that through enhanced support, increased access to secure off-chain services, and the backing of Chainlink’s stellar community, we’ll increase the awareness of StarkDefi and accelerate the adoption of highly scalable DeFi services on Starknet.”

StarkDefi: Onboarding the Next Generation of Blockchain Users

StarkDefi’s mission is to drive the widespread adoption of blockchain technology by onboarding the next generation of users. By offering a variety of DeFi solutions — including launchpad, staking pools, liquidity lockers, and minting services — we are able to support smart contract developers, NFT creators, institutional investors, and other DeFi projects.

By leveraging Starknet technology, we can provide highly scalable and secure solutions to both users and founders. This is further amplified by building on an Ethereum layer-2 network, helping us maintain cost-effective, permissionless and secure operations, even as our ecosystem grows.

Why We Joined Chainlink BUILD

StarkDefi joined BUILD to maximize the benefits of security and reliability that Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure provides. As part of BUILD, StarkDefi will receive key benefits, including access to and integration of Chainlink Price Feeds and Chainlink VRF on Starknet mainnet, access to new Chainlink product alpha and beta releases, and more.

In exchange for these services, StarkDefi will make 5% of its native token supply available to Chainlink’s community and service providers, including stakers, over time. These mutually aligned economic incentives enable both communities to support one another.

“We’re thrilled to join Chainlink BUILD to gain increased access to industry-standard Web3 services and enhanced technical support while benefiting from a robust cryptoeconomic model that empowers us to build secure and scalable DeFi solutions on Starknet. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Chainlink and welcome the passionate Chainlink community into the StarkDefi ecosystem.” — Patrick J Hemming, Co-Founder of StarkDefi
