ChainLayer has been nominated as a node operator to bring Chainlink price reference data to Kava’s DeFi lending platform and the Cosmos ecosystem. ChainLayer will be responsible for providing BNB/USD price reference data first to support Kava’s lending platform scheduled to launch in early June. Following the release of IBC, other Comos-SDK blockchains and applications will be able to leverage connections with Kava to easily access Chainlink data for their own use.
