- Chainlink secures Aave’s first non-EVM launch by providing reliable price feeds on Aptos.
- This integration highlights Chainlink’s expanding role in cross-chain DeFi infrastructure.
Aave’s entry into the Aptos network may be a major milestone for DeFi this year, but behind it all, there’s one name that’s been helping ensure everything runs smoothly: Chainlink.
Amid the shift from EVM to non-EVM, Chainlink’s role as a price oracle provider is a key foundation. Chainlink’s price data is the foundation of the collateral system in Aave V3, the Aptos version, ensuring that digital asset lending and borrowing remains secure and at market value.
We’re excited to see that @aave has integrated Chainlink Price Feeds on @Aptos—its first deployment on a non-EVM chain.

Chainlink Powers Aave’s First Leap Beyond EVM
This launch isn’t simply a copy-paste of Ethereum. Aave has been completely rebuilt using Aptos’ Move language. And with this new platform comes the need for reliable price data.
Chainlink fills that gap with its Price Feeds integration. With this system, the prices of APT, sUSDe, USDC, and USDT on Aave Aptos can be updated in real-time, are free from manipulation, and are ready to be used for collateral calculations.
Interestingly, over the past five years, Aave has been involved in EVM environments like Ethereum, Polygon, and Arbitrum. Aptos is the first to break out of that circle. And the decision to use Chainlink here makes sense, given Chainlink’s already established reputation as the most trusted data partner in this sector.
Data Integrity Tools Reshape How DeFi Proves Reserves
On the other hand, Chainlink’s partnerships have been busy lately. Just a few days ago, CNF reported that Bitget also partnered with Chainlink to secure their BGBTC product.
Through Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve feature, users can check asset reserves transparently and in real time. Essentially, there’s no longer any worry about whether their assets actually exist or are just numbers on a screen.
Furthermore, in mid-August, Chainlink also made another breakthrough with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE). They want to bring currency and precious metal prices from over 300 traditional markets onto the blockchain network.
This data will then be able to be used by banks, asset managers, and developers to create new financial products. It could be said that this is a direct bridge between the traditional financial world and the on-chain ecosystem.
In early August, we also highlighted the launch of Chainlink’s “State Pricing.” This feature uses on-chain liquidity data to determine more accurate token valuations on decentralized exchanges.
Aave and Lido are among the major platforms that immediately integrated this feature to ensure the reliability of collateral and protocol stability. So, Chainlink’s integration on Aptos wasn’t a sudden move; it’s a continuation of a well-planned expansion.
Returning to Aave’s launch on Aptos, there’s another equally important aspect: security. The protocol has been audited by several top teams such as Zellic, Ottersec, and Certora. There was even a capture-the-flag competition from the Cantina community to find vulnerabilities.
And for those who find serious bugs? A 500,000 GHO reward is up for grabs. But all that will be for naught if the pricing data is inaccurate. Therefore, Chainlink’s position here is crucial.
Meanwhile, as of press time, LINK is changing hands at about $24.86, up 11.27% over the last 7 days and 31.01% over the last 30 days.
