According to an announcement released on Friday, AWS Marketplace is integrating Chainlink’s data standards and services, enabling developers and businesses to more easily combine AWS compute, storage, database, and API infrastructure with smart contract functionality.
Specifically, AWS users can now use Chainlink’s three key services: Data Feeds, Data Streams, and Proof of Reserve. Data Feeds provide decentralized price and market data for valuation, settlement, and risk management; Data Streams deliver high-speed, low-latency data for real-time applications; and Proof of Reserve is the industry standard for verifying the assets backing stablecoins and tokenized assets.
AWS Web3 Solutions Architect Simon Goldberg wrote in a blog post: "AWS provides the foundational building blocks that financial institutions rely on, including compute, storage, and a comprehensive suite of cloud services. Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure extends these capabilities by providing secure, bidirectional connectivity between AWS resources and smart contracts deployed on blockchain networks."
“The Chainlink data standards available on AWS Marketplace allow developers to use familiar AWS services when building applications that interact with tokenized assets and smart contracts,” Goldberg added.
This comes at a time of growing interest in tokenization—the representation of real-world assets such as real estate, bonds, and stocks on a blockchain. Chainlink, one of the leading blockchain data service providers, uses oracles to connect off-chain data to blockchain applications, enabling tokenized assets to correspond with their real-world counterparts.
Competition among oracles is also intensifying. On Wednesday, Kalshi announced it is integrating with a blockchain data service provider, Paes, to supply data for the commodities hub of its prediction market. Meanwhile, major data providers such as FTSE Russell, Deutsche Börse, S&P Global, and Coinbase have signed agreements to provide data to Chainlink’s DataLink, which can be used to support tokenized products.
AWS's Chainlink integration will enable institutions to securely connect to blockchains and build hybrid applications spanning traditional cloud and decentralized systems using familiar AWS tools.
