Today CoinJar is pleased to announce that it is integrating Chainlink Price Feeds to help bring globally accurate fair market rates to its cryptocurrency exchange. With Chainlink, CoinJar will be able to accurately display the prices of digital assets, assisting users in making better-informed decisions backed by tamper-proof data.
The CoinJar team chose to integrate Chainlink because its oracle solution is time-tested in bringing real-world data and computation on-chain. Chainlink already helps secure $75B+ for leading DeFi, CeFi, and other blockchain applications. Through Chainlink Price Feeds, CoinJar benefits from high-quality market data that will improve user experience on its digital asset platform, where fast and accurate market rates are essential in such a lightning-paced industry.
As one of the longest-running global digital currency exchanges, in operation since 2013, CoinJar’s award-winning trading platform enables users to buy, sell, and spend cryptocurrencies with the CoinJar Card. Since its inception, over 500K users have traded $4B+ in assets on the platform, which has over $750M+ in assets under custody. CoinJar also features an OTC trading desk and an institutional offering to meet institutional users’ growing demand for custom-tailored digital asset solutions. In the cryptocurrency industry, accurate market data is tantamount to great user experience, and Chainlink’s alternative to traditional market data solutions assists CoinJar in driving value for customers.
Chainlink Price Feeds feature multiple layers of decentralisation and aggregation for ultimate performance and security assurances. Chainlink Price Feeds’ decentralised architecture helps ensure hyper-accurate price reference data at all times—even during periods of extreme network congestion and market volatility. Other unique features of Chainlink Price Feeds include:
- High-Quality Data — Chainlink Price Feeds source data from numerous premium data aggregators, leading to price data that are aggregated from hundreds of exchanges, weighted by volume, and cleaned from outliers and suspicious volumes. Chainlink’s data aggregation model generates accurate global market prices that are resistant to API/exchange downtime, flash crash outliers, and data manipulation attacks.
- High Update Frequency — Chainlink Price Feeds can perform frequent price updates at minimal costs, resulting in precise price data that consistently reflects current market conditions.
- Robust Infrastructure — Chainlink Price Feeds utilise decentralised networks of professional node operators run by leading blockchain DevOps teams and traditional enterprises with a strong track record of uptime during market volatility.
- Transparent Monitoring — Chainlink provides a robust reputation framework and set of on-chain monitoring tools that allow users to independently verify the historical and real-time performance of price feeds.
“Chainlink Price Feeds provide a superior alternative to maintaining our own price data solution or using other options that are subject to going offline,” said Asher Tan, CEO of CoinJar. “We will continue to explore how we can leverage other Chainlink decentralised services to enhance the functionality and reliability of our digital assets exchange.”
