KuCoin Community Chain (KCC) is a high performance Layer 1 blockchain designed to provide the community of the famous KuCoin exchange and its KCS token with a faster, more convenient and low-cost blockchain experience, solving problems such as low performance and high cost of other public chains.

Witnet is a decentralized oracle protocol that focuses on providing reliable data to “autonomous” smart contracts — those that require a high degree of tamper resistance and should not leave space for manipulation. Witnet can power most DeFi primitives like price feeds, stablecoins, synthetics, etc., as well as acting as a reliable source of randomness for creating uniqueness in NFTs.

The Witnet decentralized network of oracle nodes will immediately start to trustlessly provide data to smart contracts on KCC in an accurate, transparent, and censorship-resistant way.

The integration — which is already live on the KCC testnet and will go live on their mainnet in the coming days, makes all the components in the Witnet oracle suite available to every KCC developer, including:

  • Public price feeds ( KCS/USDT ) that are completely free to read from.
  • The Witnet Random Number Generator, which is an efficient and secure way to source randomness and uniqueness into NFT and gaming use cases.
  • The Witnet Request Board — which enables KCC developers to benefit from Witnet’s internal filtering and aggregation capabilities to have external data securely retrieved and attested from multiple data sources at once, thus reducing reliance on specific data providers, and eliminating any single point of failure.

The availability of these oracle solutionsis a key milestone for the broader adoption of KCC, as it will open the door to more sophisticated and reliable DeFi and NFT use cases.

This is only a first step in a cooperation roadmap between the Witnet and KuCoin communities that begun barely 1 month ago but has already yielded impressive results in record time. This has only been possible thanks to the fluent communication and collaboration between the developers of both projects — which is expected to continue to be a win-win for many years to come.

As part of this long-term collaboration, a dedicated team of Witnet developers will also be working side by side with several projects in the KCC ecosystem to assist them in integrating the oracle into their contracts.

“Having a strong and supportive community is as important for a successful blockchain project as having the right tech. With the support of KuCoin and its huge community, KCC ticks all the boxes to become a leading player” — highlighted Adán SDPC from Witnet Foundation — “Witnet is delighted to be the first oracle to land in an ecosystem with so much potential, and to be working side by side with the projects in it to help them build more secure, efficient and usable dApps and protocols.”

This partnership helps bringing the Witnet offering of oracle technologies to a global audience, and reinforces our position in the Asian market, following a similar successful deal with Conflux Network, another L1 chain with a strong user base in the region.

For Witnet Foundation, making the Witnet oracle available on multiple L1 and L2 chains is not only a matter of user acquisition, but also a strong bet for platforms in which innovation is happening at an incredible pace because of the lesser scalability and cost concerns. Having a first-mover advantage in providing a decentralized oracle solution for the amazing builders in those thriving ecosystems will guarantee that whatever is the next big thing in crypto, Witnet will be in the forefront, playing a key role in the development and success of this Web3 revolution.
