- Kamino Finance officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams to improve real-time market data quality and reduce latency.
- Chainlink continues expanding its influence with new integrations, supporting over 1,500 dApps across DeFi, NFTs, and real-world asset tokenization.
Kamino Finance has officially announced the integration of Chainlink Data Streams into its infrastructure. This is not just a casual move. With this technology, Kamino aims to provide high-quality real-time market data with very low latency. Imagine, in the fast-paced world of DeFi, a split-second accuracy can determine profit or loss.
Furthermore, Chainlink Data Streams is different from traditional solutions. Usually, oracles send data periodically, but this time, Kamino dApp applications can pull data when they are really needed. This efficiency helps reduce classic risks such as frontrunning and price manipulation.
On the other hand, Kamino also launched a Multi-Price Oracle system that pulls price data from various trusted sources, including Chainlink. This system not only minimizes risk, but is also equipped with a self-healing feature, so if there is any data that is in error or wrong, the system immediately moves to fix it.

Chainlink Gains Momentum With New Integrations and Broader Adoption
Kamino is not the only one eyeing Chainlink. On the other hand, CNF reported that Monad has joined Chainlink SCALE. Monad will even integrate data feeds, data streams, and the CCIP cross-chain protocol into its test network. This means that developers on Monad can enjoy more reliable data without having to rely on third parties. Just imagine if all blockchains could be this reliable.
Meanwhile, Chainlink itself is getting stronger. To date, more than 1,500 decentralized applications have utilized Chainlink’s services. They are not only dominating DeFi, but also expanding into NFTs and real-world asset tokenization.
It doesn’t stop there, in early April, PayPal also announced the integration of Chainlink (LINK) into its platform. PayPal users can now buy, sell, and even store LINK directly through their accounts. Not just for fun, this step clearly shows that crypto adoption is getting closer to the mainstream.
Strengthening Smart Contracts and Tokenization Across the Ecosystem
If that’s still not enough, in mid-April Pi Network also integrated Chainlink to support their smart contracts. With this, Pi Coin has even more real utility, especially ahead of the launch of their Open Mainnet.
And what’s more interesting, Fireblocks — a major digital asset platform — announced a strategic collaboration with Chainlink Labs on April 17. The goal? Providing end-to-end tokenization technology for banks and financial institutions, including on-chain reserve verification and cross-chain interoperability via Chainlink.
With all of these developments, it feels like Chainlink is asserting itself as the new “lifeblood” of blockchain innovation. Amid all this buzz, Kamino Finance’s move certainly feels like a smart move in the increasingly competitive DeFi space.
Meanwhile, as of press time, LINK is swapped hands at about $14.89, up 0.89% over the last 24 hours and 13.81% over the last 7 days.
