October 2025 Update

The Calm Before the SmartCon Storm!

Yes, We’re Still Talking About Chainlink — Here’s Why.

We’ve worked with Chainlink since the earliest chapters of their journey — back when most people were still asking, “What’s an oracle?” We’ve grown alongside their team and their product suite, through the good times and the even better ones.

But beyond the shared history and working relationship, we’ve always believed in the decentralized, connected future Chainlink set out to build. Today, after years of development and refinement, that vision is taking shape through live integrations and real-world adoption. We’re now seeing a merging of the decentralized with the traditional, as entities like SWIFT, Mastercard, and even the U.S. government embrace the Chainlink ecosystem. This is a transformation we’ve had the privilege to support firsthand — and one we expect will only accelerate in the months ahead.

So yes, expect to keep hearing about Chainlink — not because of nostalgia, or out of habit but because their momentum continues to drive ours.

And to illustrate how Chainlink’s progress continues to create positive ripple effects for DexTrac, here are a few announcements and events from the past month.

Virtune, a leading Swedish-regulated digital asset manager, adopted Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve (PoR) to boost ETP transparency.

DexTrac supports seven of the Virtune PoR feeds on Optimism.

Meanwhile Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov spoke at the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Payments Innovation Conference. Do we need to say more?

We also saw S&P Global Ratings — the world’s leading credit ratings agency — bring its Stablecoin Stability Assessments on-chain via Chainlink’s Data Streams. And yes, DexTrac supports that Chainlink service.

And most recently, Chainlink was named a core ecosystem partner of Arc — the new L1 launched by Circle, issuer of the stablecoin USDC. It’s another clear example of major players adopting multiple Chainlink services, many of which DexTrac actively supports.

These aren’t just headlines — they’re signals that directly influence what we build and how we grow.

Yes, you bet we’ll continue to talk about Chainlink!

Decentralization? What’s that?

You might have heard that on October 21, AWS experienced a major outage affecting millions of users across the internet. Chainlink services didn’t go down — and neither did DexTrac.

“Despite today’s widespread cloud outage impacting much of the public Internet, Chainlink oracle services operated without interruption and remain fully operational.” — Source

It’s moments like these that remind us exactly why we first entered the blockchain space — and why we’ve made the infrastructure choices we have.

If you’d like to learn more about DexTrac — our services, experience, and the infrastructure decisions that keep us running when others can’t — we invite you to reach out.

A CRYPTO BLOODBATH!

And then there was October 11 — the so-called Crypto Bloodbath.
A record $19 billion in liquidations, gas fees through the roof, and total market chaos. Yet Chainlink oracles kept delivering verified data without missing a beat. The same oracles, by the way, powered by — you guessed it — node operators like DexTrac.

This is the kind of reliability institutions look for — and why so many are now building with Chainlink, and by extension with trusted operators like DexTrac.

HyperEVM

We’re thrilled to announce that DexTrac has been selected as an initial node operator supporting Chainlink Data Feeds on HyperEVM — an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) built natively into the Hyperliquid blockchain.

At launch, we’ll be delivering accurate, reliable, and decentralized market data to 21 OCR data feeds, including ETH/USD, BTC/USD, HYPE/USD USDT/ USD, and USDC/USD.

Being trusted to support emerging blockchain projects like HyperEVM is always an honor. It represents a clear vote of confidence in how we operate and deliver — responsibilities we take seriously and strive to uphold every day.

HyperEVM, the 29th vote of confidence in our data feed capabilities.

DexTrac & CCIP

DexTrac currently supports Chainlink’s CCIP across more than 65 networks — a number that, while impressive, can feel a little abstract on its own.
What’s needed is something more tangible, something more relatable — a number that shows the real impact behind those connections.

So what if we told you that our work, alongside other Chainlink node operators, helped CCIP securely and efficiently transfer $1.47 billion in value during October — up from $1.2 billion in September?

Those are numbers people DO pay attention to!

While still relatively early in its lifecycle, CCIP is already enabling significant financial activity — and all indicators point to far greater scale ahead. With institutions like SWIFT now committed to using CCIP, its trajectory is clear and unmistakable: it’s only going one way. UP!

+65 networks. $1.5B transferred. Yeah… you could say we’re proud of the role we play in powering CCIP.

Data Feeds: We Just Keep Winning!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the momentum behind Chainlink’s OCR data feeds continues to astonish.

October marked yet another exceptional month, with the team adding support for 80 new OCR data feeds across 18 networks— our second-highest ever total, just six behind August’s record of 86.

Alongside the HyperEVM milestone, these figures show just how this Chainlink service continues to expand — 500 new feeds in 2025? Time will tell.

But of course the growth story doesn’t end there — in October we supplied data to a record number of data feeds on ten different networks: Arbitrum (136), Avalanche (95), Base (148), HyperEVM (21), Katana (26), Linea (35), Optimism (139), Solana (20), Soneium (24), and xLayer (19).

The overall scale of our data feed operations is striking. In October, we provided data to 1,394 individual OCR feeds across 29 networks — each one a unique decentralized oracle network composed of multiple system components that must function in precise coordination.

Coordination. Precision. Reliability. Consistency. Qualities that allow us to operate at this scale — and grow alongside one of the most important global ecosystems in decentralized technology: Chainlink.

SmartCon 2025

With October now behind us, one event looms large in the minds of Link Marines, node operators, and Chainlink ecosystem participants alike: SmartCon.

This coming week the Chainlink family is set to unite in New York for a series of events that promises to define what comes next.

And what comes next might just be something quite extraordinary…….
