USDAI Adopts Chainlink As Its Official Oracle

We’re excited to announce that USD.AI—a yield bearing synthetic dollar protocol with a $580M+ TVL stablecoin—has adopted Chainlink as its official oracle provider. By integrating the Chainlink data standard via Chainlink Price Feeds, USD.AI gains access to high-quality, tamper-proof market data needed to power the sUSDAI-USDAI exchange rate on Plasma, and the USDAI-USD market rate feed on Plasma and Arbitrum. This strengthens the infrastructure that underpins USD.AI, ensuring that our system has access to reliable and accurate data as it scales to meet the growing demand for AI-focused financial products.

Our initial integration involves the use of the following Chainlink Price Feeds: sUSDAI-USDAI rate feed, and USDAI-USD market rate feed. We chose Chainlink as our preferred oracle solution because its infrastructure is seamless to integrate and time-tested in production. As the most widely adopted price data standard in Web3, Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform and already helps secure leading DeFi protocols responsible for tens of billions of dollars in smart contract value, maintaining robust security and high availability even amidst unexpected events, such as exchange downtime, flash crashes, and data manipulation attacks via flash loans.

USD.AI is a synthetic dollar protocol designed to provide financing for AI compute infrastructure and other high-growth sectors. USD.AI is composed of USDai, a fully backed synthetic dollar, and sUSDai, the yield-bearing version of USDai.

In order to help secure our synthetic dollar, we needed access to fresh asset prices that are supplied directly onchain in a highly reliable manner. Fair market asset prices should reflect a volume-weighted average from all trading environments. Thus, we needed to make use of an oracle network to fetch aggregated price data offchain and deliver it onchain to be consumed by our application.

After reviewing various oracle solutions, we integrated Chainlink Price Feeds because they provide a multitude of critical features, such as:

• High-Quality Data—Chainlink Price Feeds source data from numerous premium data aggregators, leading to price data that’s aggregated from hundreds of exchanges, weighted by liquidity depth, and cleaned from outliers and suspicious volumes. Chainlink’s data aggregation model generates precise global market prices that are resistant to API downtime, flash crash outliers, and data manipulation attacks like flash loans.
• Secure Node Operators—Chainlink Price Feeds are secured by independent, security-reviewed oracle nodes run by leading blockchain DevOps teams, data providers, and traditional enterprises with a strong track record for reliability, even during high gas prices and extreme network congestion.
• Decentralized Network—Chainlink Price Feeds are decentralized at the data source, oracle node, and oracle network levels, generating strong protections against downtime and tampering by either the data provider or the oracle network.
• Transparency—Robust, publicly available reputation frameworks and onchain monitoring tools allow users to independently verify the historical performance of node operators and oracle networks, as well as check the real-time prices being offered.

“USD.AI needed a reliable oracle solution to power our stablecoin infrastructure and take the protocol to the next level. The Chainlink data standard provides the high-quality, tamper-proof market data we require to support accurate and transparent exchange rates on Plasma. With Chainlink as our official oracle provider, USD.AI is positioned to expand its ecosystem with confidence, supporting the next wave of AI-native financial products.”—USD.AI Co-Founder David Choi

About Chainlink

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.

Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is programmatically converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.

About USD.AI

USD.AI is the world’s first blockchain-native credit market for GPU-backed infrastructure. The protocol turns AI hardware into tokenized, yield-generating collateral, providing liquidity to emerging AI operators who lack access to Wall Street banks or multi-billion-dollar leases. Through its dual-token model, USDai (a stablecoin with deep liquidity) and sUSDai (its yield-bearing counterpart), USD.AI creates new liquidity pathways for operators while offering investors scalable, real-world yields. Developed by Permian Labs, USD.AI combines DeFi principles with institutional-grade securitization standards to accelerate the financing of AI infrastructure worldwide.
