API3, a blockchain oracle provider that has been working on the development of decentralized data feeds (dAPIs), has announced that it is set to deploy on five additional chains, namely Base, Kava, Linea, Mantle, and Rootstock.
According to a press released shared with CryptoDaily, the move is positioned as a way to extend API3’s objectives of bringing dAPIs to as many chains as possible, leveraging their decentralized data feeds to improve the dynamics of . API3 now currently supports 16 chains and networks from both and sectors.
API3 claims that its “cost-effective approach” democratizes access to off-chain data, such that it represents a shift from conventional third-party oracle networks to direct first-party oracle solutions within the Web3 space. In this sense, API3 forms a suite of tools that can help developers maintain and secure their respective protocols from within a verifiable, transparent, and decentralized oracle solution.
“This expansion and deployment of our oracle services to these new chains amplifies our mission to be a leader in helping dApps to seamlessly scale. Builders on these chains now have access to price feeds powered by oracles operated by the data provider as opposed to third-party node operators,” shares Ben Carvill, API3 Ecosystem Lead.
