Matic Network offers a powerful platform that is expected to boost mass adoption when it comes to DeFi applications. After its launch earlier this year, the network’s robust infrastructure helped it become a popular layer 2 solution. Moreover, Chainlink also gained significant exposure as the number one choice oracle network for decentralized finance protocols. 

Its price feeds represent the top quality in-production solution for DeFi protocols that prevent exploits and attacks. Developers who want to use Chainlink oracles and price feeds on the Matic Network are required to link their MetaMask wallet to the Matic Mumbai testnet.

This way, developers are also able to win some Mumbai testnet Matic tokens, which will later be used in their smart contract. After that, developers will be required to make, deploy and test their smart contract. 

The possibility to use price feeds and oracles on the Matic Network significantly improves the building of DeFi apps.

Chainlink has previously announced its partnership with Synthethix, which later resulted in the rollout of the Synthetic oil asset, sOIL. Synthetix mirrors the price action of oil using Chainlink’s oracle network.
