Chainlink just shipped one of those quiet infrastructure upgrades that most people won’t notice but every DeFi developer will appreciate. The oracle network’s Time-Weighted Average Price feeds are now live on mainnet, giving developers access to averaged pricing data that’s significantly harder to manipulate than traditional single-snapshot price feeds.
The TWAP feeds went live at approximately 19:55 UTC on July 31, with two variants: a 30-second window and a 60-second window.
How it works and who’s using it first
The feeds are accessible through Chainlink Data Streams, meaning developers who already have credentials can start integrating immediately. Documentation, feed IDs, and SDK examples are available through data.chain.link and Polymarket’s developer resources. Pricing starts at $150 per month for select feeds.
Polymarket, the prediction market platform, is the first major adopter. The platform plans to shift its crypto up/down markets to TWAP-based settlement starting August 7 at 00:00 UTC.
