Their extensive data offering can be queried in real-time and historical datasets such as last price, historical end of day data, historical order books (L1 & L2), aggregates, market status updates, and more — increasing the offering and flexibility of Band Protocol oracles.

Finage has been integrated to support the Band Standard Dataset and Band Protocol’s decentralized stock oracle which is already being used by leading projects including Mirror Protocol, Linear Finance, and Fantom among others to secure over $8B+ in total value. To further bridge the gap between reliable external information and blockchain projects, Finage will be creating premium oracle scripts on BandChain covering different real-time data for different asset categories, and an array of historical datasets which automatically collect revenue on a per-call or subscription basis.

Working with trusted and established data providers such as Finage is critical to increasing the degree of security and reliability of Band Protocol oracle which is collectively securing billions of dollars in production. We look forward to sharing more institutional-grade data providers working with Band Protocol to connect to all decentralized applications and blockchain ecosystems in the coming weeks!
