Chainlink announced via X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that Chainlink Labs has entered into a strategic partnership with Matter Labs, an engineering and cryptography research company working on and developing software in relation to the zkSync protocol.
The partnership sees zkSync join the Chainlink SCALE (Sustainable Chainlink Access for Layer 1 and 2 Enablement) program to help propel the adoption of zkSync Era, a zkEVM Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution. Additionally, Chainlink Price Feeds are now live on zkSync Era.
The team explained that zkSync's participation in SCALE will maximize its ecosystem's success by increasing its developers' access to Chainlink data and services and further minimizing the gas costs that Chainlink nodes incur when submitting Oracle reports for Data Feeds on zkSync Era.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is up by 4% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $14.750 at press time.
