TRON DAO secures over $5.5B in DeFi TVL by adopting Chainlink Data Feeds as its oracle.

TRON DAO uses Chainlink instead of WINkLink for better and more reliable data in DeFi.

TRON DAO’s DeFi apps gain robust data integrity with Chainlink Data Feeds adoption.

TRON DAO announced on May 15, 2025, that it has chosen Chainlink Data Feeds as its oracle network solution for its blockchain ecosystem. The decision was made after TRON joined the Chainlink Scale program in October 2024. With Chainlink, TRON DAO increases the security and reliability of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on its platform which currently holds over $5.5 billion in total value locked (TVL)..

Chainlink Data Feeds are known for being trustworthy, accurate, and verifiable sources of information on blockchain networks. With this integration, JustLend and JustStable on TRON, together with other decentralized applications, can now use Chainlink oracles. These applications are fundamental for the safety of user assets and financial transactions.

Strategic Move Reinforces TRON’s Blockchain Security

TRON DAO’s shift to Chainlink oracles indicates its strong focus on robust blockchain security.  With this move, TRON DAO halted support for WINkLink, which used to be its oracle service provider. By incorporating this change, DeFi projects benefit from greater data integrity, transparency and reliability which are essential for the platform’s success.

Thodoris Karakostas, Head of Blockchain Partnerships at Chainlink Labs, highlighted the significance of this adoption. “We’re excited that the TRON community has upgraded to Chainlink Data Feeds as the official data oracle solution,” Karakostas said. He highlighted that integrating Chainlink allows TRON to boost the scale of its DeFi infrastructure, which is essential for ecosystem expansion.

Supporting TRON’s Long-Term Blockchain Vision

Adding Chainlink to TRON DAO is part of its goal to ensure Internet decentralization through blockchain technology. TRON was established in 2017 by Justin Sun, and since the MainNet launch in May 2018, the platform has seen fast development. As of May 2025, the circulating supply of Tether (USDT) stablecoin on TRON has reached $73 billion positioning it globally with over 306 million user accounts and a TVL of $23 billion.

Community spokesperson Sam Elfarra noted the new oracle system’s practical benefits. “By integrating Chainlink Data Feeds, TRON DAO strengthens its DeFi ecosystem with a secure and reliable infrastructure,” Elfarra said. This infrastructure empowers developers to construct more scalable, innovative, and secure decentralized financial solutions.

Furthermore, blockchains are using Chainlink as the standard for verifying data. Swift, Fidelity International, ANZ Bank, Aave and GMX rely on it to support their financial operations and DeFi activities. The oracle provider enables over $20 trillion of blockchain transactions worldwide, ensuring confidence and security in financial markets.
