Reliable market data and secure cross-chain interoperability for teams building finance apps on Arc.
Tim Baker
Arc is joining the Chainlink Scale program to deliver developers enterprise-grade data and interoperability infrastructure.
Arc now has a public path to external market data and cross-chain messaging on testnet, without teams having to stitch the whole thing together themselves.
Once you get into lending, treasury, settlement, tokenized assets, or FX, you usually need two things: trusted inputs from outside the chain, and a clean way to coordinate state and value across networks.

What you can do with this
1) Build price-aware product logic earlier
If your app needs a reference price, a market input, or some other verified external signal, you do not want to leave that to the last mile. Chainlink provides the data infrastructure for when product logic depends on more than balances and local contract state.
2) Test cross-chain finance flows on Arc testnet
A lot of teams evaluating Arc are not building single-chain products. They are testing treasury movement, collateral flows, settlement logic, or multichain finance apps. With Chainlink CCIP on Arc testnet and a current lane to Ethereum Sepolia, builders can start pressure-testing those paths earlier.
3) Build against real infrastructure instead of placeholders
The useful shift here is simple: if external inputs or cross-chain messaging are part of the product, they should be part of the testnet build too. That reduces the gap between a clean demo and something a team can actually ship.
Where Chainlink fits
Arc is built for onchain finance. But serious finance apps still need outside inputs and, in many cases, coordination beyond a single chain.
That is where Chainlink fits.
On Arc today, the public surface is pretty straightforward: Chainlink powers the oracle side of the builder stack, and CCIP is the clearest live interoperability surface on Arc testnet. For builders, that creates two solutions:
Use Chainlink Data Streams when the app depends on trusted external inputs.
Use Chainlink CCIP when the app needs to coordinate with another chain during testing.
