.@CelsiusNetwork and @NexoFinance use Chainlink Feeds for some of their internal processes, but rely on centralized sources like CoinMarketCap to initiate the liquidation processes
These CeFi applications use centralized data feeds regarding market data for a key component of their infrastructure (when users are actually liquidated)
Chainlink Price Feeds leverage three layers of data aggregation at the data provider, oracle node, and network levels to prevent outliers and continuously provide accurate oracle reports
For proof you can reference data.chain.link and market.link which displays on-chain data (can be cross-reference with on-chain data)
For example, Nexo had issues with a $USDT/USD price feed, you can see here the Chainlink $USDT/USD price feed had no deviation
Celsius had an issue with their $MATIC/USD and $SNX/USD price feeds, but you can see here that the Chainlink Price Feeds for these assets had no deviation either
@NexoFinance and @CelsiusNetwork have the opportunity to fix these issues going forward by either using Chainlink Price Feeds as their primary source of market data, or use these feeds as a circuit breaker to prevent wild deviations from whatever off-chain source they use

"Our developer bootcamp will give developers across the globe a hands-on, guided experience to begin building with #Solidity smart contracts and @chainlink oracles to create the next generation of hybrid smart contracts"
"[@SynapseNetwork_ has integrated] #Chainlink VRF to fairly select participants in IDO launches, #Chainlink Price Feeds to determine exchange rates on our native SNP token, and #Chainlink Keepers to automate our staking and vesting contracts"
2/ Data provider run nodes (e.g. Kaiko, Nomics, etc) leverage their own server infrastructure to operate their Chainlink nodes
This indeed requires operational expertise in oracle & blockchain infrastructure, because this is mission critical infrastructure with billions at stake
3/ Data provider approved nodes leverage infrastructure from service providers to bootstrap their Chainlink node (like how firms use AWS, GCP, Azure as their infrastructure)
Data providers publicly signal their official Chainlink node, which only provides access to their data
"We are excited to announce integrated support for the @chainlink Keepers Open Beta directly within the @OpenZeppelin Defender platform—the leading security operations suite for #Ethereum and EVM-based chains"
"In order for the contract to be serviced by the network, it needs to be funded with $LINK tokens which can be done directly inside of the @OpenZeppelin Defender console"
Adoption of #Chainlink services like Keepers -> Increase demand for $LINK tokens from users
1/ After yesterday's discussion with the author of the recent @Delphi_Digital oracle report, who attempted to provide justifications as to why the report had inaccurate information regarding #Chainlink, it appears the doubling down is simply continuing
2/ DONs are not standalone ledgers (like was claimed), but are explicitly anchored to a mainchain, that is a fact that is backed up by numerous statement in the 2.0 whitepaper
DONs use layer 2 syncing mechanisms, a mainchain is required for this to work
Unfortunately, the report is quite biased and contains many factually incorrect points about #Chainlink
🧵👇 Thread
2/ First, I think it's good that they disclosed they are financially invested in API3 and Pyth as disclaimers, but I don't think that forgives the inaccurate information presented in the report
The issues: 1. Data provider run nodes 2. LinkPool BSC node 3. Chainlink 2.0 staking
3/ 1. The report repeatedly frames Chainlink as just being a "third party" oracle solution that doesn't support "first party oracles"
This is factually incorrect
There are already over a dozen data provider run #Chainlink nodes live on mainnet today
"Our current integration involves the use of #Chainlink Verifiable Randomness Function (VRF) to fairly and transparently select a special grant fund winner from the list of participants taking part in our upcoming @OVRtheReality Treasure Hunt"
