Polymarket To Integrate Chainlink’s Data Standard

In a press release, Chainlink announced that Polymarket will integrate its standard into its resolution process. The partnership will initially focus on enhancing the accuracy and speed of asset pricing resolutions, with Chainlink’s oracle providing real-time data on crypto prices. There are also plans to expand into additional markets.

This development comes as Polymarket reenters the U.S. market following a green light from the CFTC. Chainlink revealed that the prediction platform has already integrated its data standard on the Polygon mainnet.

This will enable the creation of “secure, real-time prediction markets around asset pricing, including hundreds of live crypto trading pairs.” Beyond these deterministic markets, both firms are also exploring how they can expand the use of Chainlink’s oracles to settle prediction markets involving more subjective questions.

Chainlink noted that the goal is to reduce reliance on social voting mechanisms and further minimize resolution risk. The Polymarket partnership represents another major win for Chainlink after the U.S. Commerce Department tapped the crypto project to roll out GDP data on the blockchain.

Meanwhile, the crypto prediction platform also confirmed the partnership with Chainlink in an X post. It simply stated that, “15-minute crypto up/down polymarkets are here,” confirming what prediction market it will initially use the data feeds for.

How The Integration Will Work

Chainlink will provide deterministic data inputs to resolve the Polymarket outcomes. The oracle platform stated that the integration will combine its Data Streams with Automation to enable timely and automated on-chain settlement of markets. This will allow a swift resolution of asset pricing markets, such as Bitcoin price predictions, based on predetermined data.

Chainlink’s co-founder, Sergey Nazarov, said that Polymarket’s decision to integrate its oracle infrastructure is a pivotal milestone that greatly enhances how prediction markets are created and settled. He further remarked that the partnership is a “decisive step toward a world powered by cryptographic truth.”

The LINK price is up amid this announcement. TradingView data shows that the altcoin is currently trading around $24.5, up over 3% in the last 24 hours.
