Lighter.xyz has expanded its integration with Chainlink, moving from roughly 25 markets already supported by the decentralized oracle network to more than 100 active trading pairs. The perpetual DEX, which reports a cumulative trading volume of $1.7 trillion, announced the rollout on Friday, August 28, 2026.
The expanded coverage includes low-latency data streams for U.S. and Asia-Pacific equities, commodities, foreign exchange pairs, and large-cap crypto assets. Lighter operates on an application-specific zk-rollup on Ethereum, using Chainlink Data Streams to deliver sub-second prices directly to its matching engine. The platform says the feeds help reduce vulnerabilities to price manipulation and improve liquidation accuracy in leveraged markets.
Chainlink confirmed the expansion, noting that the integration supports 24/5 market hours coverage for tokenized equities and continuous pricing for commodities such as gold and crude oil. Lighter had previously adjusted its real-world asset pricing mechanisms in July and August 2026, removing fixed caps on indices like SPY and QQQ.
The development underscores growing reliance on specialized oracle infrastructure in the on-chain derivatives sector and may strengthen institutional confidence in Chainlink-powered trading platforms.
