HashKey Chain 's strategic considerations for choosing Chainlink

Technical security and stability: the core advantages of Chainlink

In the blockchain ecosystem, cross-chain interoperability and data reliability have always been the two major challenges in technological development. HashKey Chain chose Chainlink because it was precisely because of its oracle network security and reliability. With the continuous expansion of the blockchain ecosystem, the demand for cross-chain communication and data verification is becoming increasingly urgent. Chainlink has successfully provided cross-chain interoperability solutions for public chains such as Avalanche, Polygon, and Optimism, protecting more than $75 billion of DeFi TVL and promoting $19 trillion of on-chain transactions. This practical experience has put Chainlink in an unrivaled leadership position in Web3 Infra.

For HashKey Chain, the security of cross-chain asset transfer, token transmission and data exchange is the fundamental requirement for its construction of institutional-level financial applications. The CCIP provided by Chainlink has a decentralized verification mechanism, which can effectively avoid common cross-chain security issues such as double-spend attacks and cross-chain reentry attacks, and ensure the reliability and security of HashKey Chain in a high-value, low-risk-tolerant financial environment. In this way, HashKey Chain can provide institutional customers with guaranteed cross-chain services, reduce potential technical risks, and enhance its market competitiveness as a compliance-friendly platform.

In addition, Chainlink's Data Streams, as its on-chain data service, provides HashKey Chain with low latency, real-time, tamper-proof market data, which is particularly important in areas such as high-frequency trading and derivatives trading.

By working with Chainlink, HashKey Chain can ensure that the data on its platform is verified, transparent and compliant with compliance requirements, providing institutional investors with safe and reliable market information, thereby further consolidating its leadership in compliance DeFi and institutional finance.

**The connection between traditional finance and Web3: Chainlink 's

influence in Web2**

As blockchain technology gradually integrates into the traditional financial system, the boundary between Web2 and Web3 is being broken. HashKey Chain is looking for more efficient ways to connect in this wave of change, and Chainlink, as the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, has made breakthroughs in this area. Compared with many infrastructures that only focus on the DeFi field, Chainlink not only dominates the on-chain finance, but also establishes solid industry standards in traditional financial markets, becoming a key bridge connecting the two major worlds.

At present, Chainlink has carried out in-depth cooperation with top global financial institutions such as Swift, Euroclear, and UBS to promote the implementation of applications such as asset tokenization, cross-border payments, and financial data on the chain. For example, Swift successfully interconnected more than 11,500 banks with the blockchain network through Chainlink CCIP, solving the compatibility problem between traditional payment systems and on-chain assets, allowing fiat currency and digital assets to achieve more seamless flow. In addition, in cooperation with financial giants such as UBS, SBI, and Fidelity International, Chainlink has put core financial data such as fund net value, asset settlement, and cross-border payments on the chain, greatly improving data transparency and market liquidity. These collaborations not only demonstrate Chainlink's technical capabilities in the interconnection of Web2 and Web3, but also prove that it is widely recognized in the global financial markets.

For HashKey Chain, with the help of Chainlink, a bridge infrastructure, the HashKey Chain asset management and payment clearing system can seamlessly connect to the global financial system, achieving instant interaction with more than 11,500 financial institutions. This level of connection means that HashKey Chain can not only simplify cross-border transaction processes and reduce clearing frictions, but also further improve its own compliance framework and institutional credibility, laying the foundation for the entry of large-scale institutional funds.

More importantly, this cooperation is not only an upgrade of HashKey Chain at the technical level, but also a leap in its market positioning. Through Chainlink, HashKey Chain can quickly increase its awareness in the global financial industry, build strong competitive advantages in RWA, DeFi, institutional-level asset management, and cross-chain finance, and truly realize the vision of Web3 to empower traditional finance.

The collaboration between HashKey Chain and Chainlink has shown us a new solution - improving the operating efficiency of the financial system through decentralized technology, eliminating intermediate links, improving capital liquidity, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements, providing a feasible path for seamless connection between Web3 and traditional finance.

From a macro market perspective, this cooperation reflects the acceleration of global financial digital transformation. Since 2024, with the large-scale advancement of RWA tokenization, major global financial institutions such as UBS, Fidelity International, and JP Morgan have been actively deploying blockchain infrastructure. As one of the Layer 2, which has the most compliance advantages in Asia, HashKey Chain is building new standards for institutional DeFi, including functions such as on-chain asset management, cross-border payments, stablecoin issuance, and compliant lending into its ecological map. As the world's most mature cross-chain interoperability solution, Chainlink has been widely used in the European and American financial systems. This cooperation marks its in-depth penetration in the Asian market and provides core technical support for the blockchain ecosystem of financial centers such as Hong Kong and Singapore.

In addition, this cooperation is not only an upgrade of HashKey Chain at the technical level, but also an improvement in its position in the global financial market. In the future, with the development of institutional-level DeFi, traditional financial institutions' demand for transparent, secure and efficient blockchain infrastructure will continue to grow. HashKey Chain relies on the cross-chain interoperability, on-chain data verification, compliance oracle capabilities provided by Chainlink, and will more easily attract traditional financial institutions into the DeFi field and promote the Web3 infrastructure to truly serve the global financial market. This trend will not only drive the significant improvement of HashKey Chain TVL, but will also promote the application of blockchain in the global capital market, trade finance, asset management and other fields, becoming an important participant in the global multi-chain financial ecosystem.

In a longer-term perspective, the collaboration between HashKey Chain and Chainlink will help the Asian market become a key growth point for global blockchain financial innovation. Although financial institutions in the European and American markets have tried the waters in the DeFi field, the infrastructure construction of compliance chains is still in the early stages in Asia, especially in financial centers such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates. As Layer 2, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong licensed organization HashKey Group, HashKey Chain has built a bridge for global compliant Web3 finance through this cooperation. It is expected to become the first choice for the DeFi ecosystem base in the Asian market in the future, and promote the large-scale implementation of innovative applications such as RWA, stablecoins, on-chain payments, and institutional lending.

Ultimately, this cooperation will become an important milestone in the global DeFi development from fragmented and speculative to institutionalization, compliance and stability. With the continuous growth of the HashKey Chain ecosystem and the continuous expansion of Chainlink on a global scale, we are witnessing the birth of a more transparent, efficient and seamless global blockchain financial system.
