Aave Protocol has integrated with Chainlink to power the Aave oracle network, securing 53 cryptocurrency price feeds live. By leveraging Chainlink oracles, Aave Protocol’s prices reflect real-time conditions on and off chain. Decentralization is the foundation of Aave Protocol, and Chainlink guarantees a decentralized oracle service that cannot be exploited at a single point.
