The Celsius Network has begun using Chainlinkās price data feed oracles while offering treasury management services to the oracle platform.
Today, March 30, Celsius Network (CEL) begins using Chainlinkās (LINK) price data feed oracles while offering treasury management services to the oracle platform.
The CEO and founder of Celsius, Alex Mashinsky, told Cointelegraph about the rationale behind the partnership:
āCelsius wants to be more transparent and more decentralized and that is the main driver for partnering with Chainlink.ā
The partnership will begin with Celsius using Chailinkās crypto price oracles, after which Celsius will move transactions on-chain for greater transparency.Ā
Celsius will provide treasury service to Chainlink, managing āseveral million dollarsā worth of cryptocurrency. Mashinky stated that his company is paying out weekly interest on their deposits to the partner while Chainlink is able āto borrow dollars when they need them so they do not have to sell coinsā.
Incremental decentralization
Chainlinkās CEO Sergey Nazarov told Cointelegraph that the partnership is important to him personally, as it proves that incremental decentralization works:
āI think many teams could benefit from reexamining an incremental/gradual approach to decentralizing their financial product/application, people might think decentralization is a binary decision, because that's what it looked like when they started building their application. They might think āeither I go fully decentralized or fully centralizedā, they don't always consider a middle path where they can gradually decentralize their application.ā
According to Mashinsky, not a single institutional client of Celsius defaulted during the recent market meltdown. Perhaps, further decentralization of its technological stack will make the company even more robust.
