TRON DAO has officially adopted Chainlink Data Feeds to improve data accuracy across its DeFi applications.This move replaces the previous oracle system, aiming to ensure stable and transparent on-chain transactions.TRON DAO has officially appointed Chainlink as the primary oracle provider for its blockchain ecosystem. The announcement came out on May 15, 2025, and since then, the attention of the DeFi community has been directed directly to the TRON network.With this decision, the previous oracle system, WINkLink, has been officially abandoned. Not without reason—Chainlink has long been considered the backbone of data reliability in the crypto sector, and TRON seems to not want to be left behind in ensuring that the data used by its applications remains accurate and resistant to manipulation.We’re excited to announce that @Chainlink Data Feeds are now live on TRON as the network’s official data oracle solution.$5.5B+ in DeFi TVL on TRON is now secured by Chainlink oracles, strengthening ecosystem security and growth.Learn more @Cointelegraph ... pic.twitter.com/TLN4rWRxAG— TRON DAO (@trondao) May 15, 2025No Room for Glitches: TRON DeFi Turns to ChainlinkJust imagine if you were using a crypto lending application and the ETH price displayed suddenly went crazy because the oracle had an error. That’s the nightmare that DeFi protocols like JustLend and JustStable that run on the TRON network want to avoid.With Chainlink Data Feeds, they can pull market data that has been proven to be safe and verifiable. And the good news is, the algorithmic stablecoin USDD is also directly connected to this system. This means that in the future, TRON users can enjoy much more stable and transparent transactions.Strong Infrastructure, Growing TVL, and Now Mastercard TooOn the other hand, CNF previously reported that TRON still maintains a daily block production efficiency of 99.7%. This means that their network infrastructure is indeed strong and reliable. In addition, the regular rotation of Super Representatives (SR) actually shows TRON’s competitive and healthy governance model. It’s not just about technology, but also about who is trusted to keep the network running.Furthermore, between May 10 and 15, 2025, the Total Value Locked (TVL) on TRON experienced a spike. From 20.6 billion TRX to 24.2 billion TRX. If converted to US dollars, the value has exceeded $6.6 billion.TRON now sits comfortably in the third position of the world’s largest DeFi networks—below Ethereum and Solana. This increase in TVL is likely not a coincidence, considering the many updates they have been pushing aggressively.One of the biggest pushes? On May 15, Mastercard began opening the door for USDT on the TRON network. So, Mastercard users can shop directly using USDT without having to bother changing networks. Imagine you just tap your card, and your USDT balance is immediately used to buy your morning coffee. Simple and fast.In addition, on May 14, 2025, the total supply of USDT on TRON successfully overtook Ethereum. The total supply on TRON reached $73.8 billion, surpassing Ethereum’s supply of $71.9 billion. The determining factors are the low transaction costs and the speed of the process that makes it convenient. It makes sense that many USDT users finally choose TRON as their main place.Meanwhile, as of press time, TRX is trading at about $0.2767, up 1.24% over the last 24 hours and 8.63% over the last 7 days. It is driving its market cap to surpass the $26 billion mark.
