UniLend Finance has announced its integration with Chainlink Price Feeds specifically for UniLend V2. This enables the lending and borrowing protocol to fetch accurate prices for select tokens. These are stETH, ETH, USDT, USDC, and LINK. UniLend Finance, in the announcement on X, has called this development a major advancement, adding that it fortifies the reliability and robustness of the protocol.
Chainlink has confirmed the development and added that there have been 11 integrations across seven different chains. These include 4 Chainlink services, including BNB Chain, Arbtirum, Ethereum, Avax, Optimism, Fantom, and Polygon.

Members of the UniLend Finance community have responded positively to this development. Most of them have congratulated the team for achieving the major milestone, while others have called it a game-changer for the ecosystem. The reason for being optimistic about the integration is that Chainlink Price Feeds offer accuracy in the prices of tokens. Thereby enhancing reliability when it comes to lending and borrowing functionalities.
That said, the price has not precisely done any good for LINK, the native token of the Chainlink ecosystem. It has been down by 2.94% in the last 24 hours and listed at $19.66 when drafting this article. However, the token price has increased by 14.88% in the previous 7 days and 2.03% in the last 30 days.

The objective was to enhance DeFi’s offering with innovative permissionless borrowing and lending protocol. UniLend has gained a position in the market with its seamless cross-chain infrastructure, security, and efficiency.
