Singapore (May 15, 2025) — TRON DAO, the governance body behind the TRON blockchain, announced a major infrastructure upgrade today, selecting Chainlink’s industry – leading data feeds as its official oracle solution. The move aims to enhance the security and reliability of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the TRON network, which currently hosts over $5.5 billion in total value locked (TVL).
Strengthening DeFi Security with Chainlink’s Oracle Technology
Under the partnership, TRON’s DeFi ecosystem will integrate Chainlink Data Feeds, which provide real – time, tamper – resistant price data for cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, and commodities. This upgrade addresses a critical vulnerability in oracle systems—centralized data sources or unreliable feeds can expose DeFi protocols to manipulation or downtime.
“Chainlink’s proven oracle infrastructure is a game – changer for TRON’s DeFi landscape,” said Justin Sun, founder of TRON. “By securing our price feeds with decentralized, multi – node networks, we’re eliminating single points of failure and ensuring that the $5.5+ billion in TVL on our network remains protected from market volatility and malicious actors.”
Operational Details of the Integration
The integration will roll out in phases, starting with key TRON – based DeFi protocols such as JustLend and SUN.io. Chainlink Data Feeds will support a wide range of assets, including TRX, BTC, ETH, and stablecoins like USDT. Each feed is powered by a decentralized network of independent nodes, ensuring data accuracy through majority consensus and cryptographic proof.
Chainlink’s technology also enables TRON developers to build more complex DeFi applications, such as algorithmic stablecoins and options markets, which require high – precision, low – latency price data.
Industry Implications and Market Reaction
The announcement comes as the broader crypto industry faces heightened scrutiny over oracle reliability. In 2024, several DeFi protocols suffered losses due to flawed or manipulated price feeds. TRON’s adoption of Chainlink highlights a growing trend among blockchains to prioritize oracle security as DeFi scales.
“TRON’s decision reinforces Chainlink’s position as the gold standard for oracle solutions,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink. “By securing their DeFi ecosystem with enterprise – grade data feeds, TRON is not only protecting users but also laying the foundation for the next generation of financial applications.”
TRON’s DeFi Growth and Future Plans
TRON’s DeFi sector has grown rapidly, driven by low transaction costs and high throughput. The network now supports over 100 DeFi protocols, with TVL up 120% from $2.5 billion in early 2024. The Chainlink integration is part of TRON DAO’s broader strategy to attract institutional users and comply with emerging regulatory standards for decentralized finance.
