TRON DAO has officially adopted Chainlink Data Feeds as its primary oracle solution, replacing the previous WINkLink alternative. It aims to enhance, stabilize, and position TRON’s DeFi ecosystem for future expansion.
The move occurred after TRON joined Chainlink SCALE in October 2024, which sought to accelerate TRON’s growth by supplying developers with high-quality data. With this upgrade, over $5.5 billion in DeFi apps on TRON, including JustLend, JustStable, and USDD, are now powered by Chainlink’s trusted data feeds.
H.E. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, celebrated the news on X: “Chainlink on TRON is live now.” Due to this integration, developers on TRON are now able to create smarter, safer, and more scalable financial applications with verifiable real-world data. With Chainlink now being the official oracle throughout TRON’s DeFi universe, the network is becoming more robust, transparent, and future-proof.
Thodoris Karakostas, Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink Labs, said TRON’s choice to adopt Chainlink Data Feeds is a big milestone. He pointed out that over $5.5 billion in DeFi TVL on TRON is now secured by Chainlink, showing TRON DAO’s strong push toward solid and scalable infrastructure. This upgrade also means WINkLink, TRON’s earlier oracle provider, will no longer be used. The change reflects TRON’s drive to stay ahead with better, more reliable data tools.
Meanwhile, the TRON network continues to develop. According to TRONSCAN statistics, TRON has reached over 306 million accounts, conducted over 10 billion transactions, and is worth more than $23 billion as of May 2025. With Chainlink now powering TRON’s DeFi data, the decentralized financial ecosystem is poised for even more trust, innovation, and long-term growth in the future.
