Chainlink Provides Arc With Institutional-Grade Oracle Infrastructure

Chainlink provides Arc with access to Data Feeds, Proof of Reserve, Data Streams, and CCIP oracle infrastructure.

Chainlink is providing Arc with access to its oracle infrastructure through a suite of services that includes Data Feeds, Proof of Reserve, Data Streams and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), according to BSCN.

The integration gives Arc access to Chainlink services designed to support data delivery, asset verification, market information and cross-chain connectivity. BSCN described the access as cost-efficient and focused on institutional-grade oracle infrastructure.

Chainlink Services Integrated With Arc

The infrastructure made available to Arc covers four core Chainlink services: Data Feeds, Proof of Reserve, Data Streams and CCIP.

Data Feeds provide blockchain applications with access to external data, while Proof of Reserve is designed to provide information used to verify the reserves underlying supported assets. Data Streams and CCIP extend the infrastructure into additional data and cross-chain use cases.

BSCN did not provide further details on the specific applications or products on Arc that will use each service.

Oracle Infrastructure Supports On-Chain Applications

The integration places Chainlink's infrastructure within Arc's technology stack, with the stated focus on providing cost-efficient access to oracle services.

Oracle infrastructure is used to connect blockchain-based applications with information or functionality that is not inherently available within a blockchain environment. The four services identified in the announcement cover different aspects of that connectivity.

Data Feeds and Data Streams address data delivery, while Proof of Reserve focuses on reserve information. CCIP is Chainlink's cross-chain infrastructure component, providing a mechanism for communication and transfers across supported blockchain networks.

The BSCN post does not disclose specific transaction volumes, deployment figures or performance metrics associated with Arc's use of the services.

Four Chainlink Components Included

The combination of the four services gives Arc access to multiple parts of Chainlink's infrastructure rather than a single oracle product.

Data Feeds and Data Streams can support applications requiring external information, while Proof of Reserve addresses verification of reserve data. CCIP adds cross-chain functionality to the package.

BSCN characterized the infrastructure as institutional-grade, but the post does not provide additional criteria or measurements defining that description.

The announcement also does not specify a deployment timeline, individual use cases or whether all four services are already active on Arc.

Integration Expands Arc's Access to Chainlink Infrastructure

For Arc, the development centers on access to a broader set of Chainlink infrastructure services through a single integration. The available components span data feeds, data verification, data streams and cross-chain interoperability.

Further details about how Arc will deploy the infrastructure were not included in the cited post. The information currently identifies the four Chainlink services being provided and describes the access as cost-efficient.
