APX Finance Is Integrating Chainlink Data Streams and Automation to Power Decentralized Perpetual Futures on Arbitrum
APX Finance — the foremost decentralized exchange for crypto derivatives — is excited to announce that APX version 2 (V2) has successfully integrated Chainlink Data Streams and Automation on Arbitrum Goerli testnet in preparation for a mainnet launch. By integrating DeFi’s industry-standard low-latency oracle solution, APX Finance aims to offer a CEX-like perpetual futures exchange experience on Arbitrum without compromising on decentralization, security, or conflicts of interest.
Chainlink Data Streams supplies premium data using proven Chainlink infrastructure, which achieves unmatched performance and security even amidst unexpected events, such as exchange downtime, flash crashes, and data manipulation attacks via flash loans. The native usage of Chainlink Automation within Chainlink Data Streams provides a credibly neutral and decentralized settlement infrastructure that helps users have a verifiably fair and safe trading experience.
APX V2 on-chain perpetual trading utilizes the ALP liquidity pool for maximum capital efficiency while ensuring transparent, minimal slippage trades via oracles. Accurate price data is needed to help open and close trades, execute conditional orders, and trigger liquidations. These are precisely the functions that Chainlink Data Streams are fulfilling on Arbitrum.
“Chainlink Data Streams offer APX Finance the most secure, reliable, and decentralized price data solution on the market. By integrating Data Streams, we’re matching the lightning-fast experience that centralized exchanges can offer and adding on the benefits of conflict of interest-free data and transparent settlement infrastructure,” said the core team at APX Finance.
