Chainlink added 12 new protocol integrations across 10 blockchains and six services on August 17, expanding its oracle network into chains including Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, and Solana. The batch outpaces a prior update that covered 8 integrations across 5 services and 6 chains, and underscores Chainlink's push to diversify beyond price feeds into services like verifiable randomness and automation.
Chainlink added 12 new protocol integrations spanning 10 different blockchains and six services, the oracle network announced on August 17. The chains getting fresh Chainlink support include Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BOB, Botanix, HyperCore, HyperEVM, Solana, Sonic, and World Chain.
What the update actually adds
The 12 integrations bring a mix of protocols into Chainlink's orbit, including build_on_bob, Chintai Network, ICE Markets, and Numa Money among others. The services involved span Chainlink's core product suite, centered on data feeds and its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, known as CCIP.
Data feeds give smart contracts reliable, tamper-resistant price data from outside the blockchain. Without accurate feeds, lending protocols can't calculate collateral ratios, and decentralized exchanges can't price swaps correctly. CCIP, meanwhile, handles cross-chain messaging, letting blockchains communicate as capital and applications spread across dozens of Layer 1s and Layer 2s.
A step up from the last batch
Chainlink has published batch integration updates throughout 2025. A recent prior update documented 8 integrations across 5 services and 6 chains, making this latest batch a meaningful step up in both scope and chain coverage. The oracle network has facilitated transaction value in the tens of trillions cumulatively, a figure that reflects the scale of decentralized finance activity flowing through its pipes.
Why the newer chains matter
BOB and Botanix are newer environments still building out their DeFi ecosystems, so early Chainlink integration acts as a credibility signal for developers that basic price-feed and cross-chain infrastructure is in place. Solana already has a mature DeFi ecosystem, so continued integration there instead reflects ongoing demand as new protocols launch and existing ones expand. The same logic applies to Base, Coinbase's Layer 2, which has seen significant developer activity throughout 2025.
Pyth Network has carved out meaningful share in the oracle space, particularly on Solana. But Chainlink's multi-chain strategy gives it a structural advantage: protocols that operate across multiple chains prefer a single oracle provider that works everywhere over stitching together different solutions for each network. The six services covered in this batch, rather than just one or two, signal product diversification on Chainlink's side, as the network expands beyond price feeds into verifiable randomness, proof of reserves, and automation services.
