February 17th, 2022
We are excited to announce that Apex146, a firm that offers analytics and statistical resources covering the action sports industry, has launched an official Chainlink node. By launching on Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle network, Apex146 is able to seamlessly and securely deliver data surrounding individual and team performance analytics to blockchain-based apps, opening up exciting opportunities for sports prediction markets, apps around event simulations, and many more use cases.
Smart contract developers looking to leverage Apex146’s high-quality action sports analytics data can find documentation here.
Apex146 chose to deliver their data through an official Chainlink node because the Chainlink oracle network is secure, future-proof, and quickly becoming the trusted standard for connecting data providers with smart contract developers. Through Chainlink, Apex146 is becoming part of the largest oracle network in the blockchain industry, making it an ideal solution for reaching the widest range of developers across the multi-chain ecosystem.
Developers can now use Apex146 to build cutting-edge sports prediction markets with top-tier analytics directly on-chain, incorporate quality statistics to trigger dynamic NFT interactions, and more.
Initially created as a student internship program at the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), Apex146 has since grown to provide performance analytics content/data, betting probabilities, and sports betting technology (e.g., risk management) relating to the action sports industry. From Formula 1 and MotoGP events to UCI World Cup Downhill Mountain Biking and World Tour Cycling, Apex146 provides a unique set of supplementary assets that were developed to enhance and support proprietary platforms.
Now, Apex146’s market-leading action sports analytics data is available to smart contract developers across the multi-chain ecosystem through an official Chainlink node. Apex146 chose Chainlink for its range of unbeatable features, which include:
Data Integrity — Our Chainlink node will cryptographically sign all data we supply on-chain to verify its origin, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks.
Blockchain Agnostic — Our Chainlink node is compatible with any blockchain environment, serving as a single gateway to sell data to any current or future blockchain.
Widely Adopted — Chainlink is the most widely used oracle network in the blockchain industry, providing access to a vast addressable market of potential data consumers.
Provably Secure — Chainlink is thoroughly audited open-source software that already secures billions of dollars in value, showcasing its ability to trigger the automation of high-value smart contracts live in production.
Seamless Integration — Setting up our Chainlink node was a quick and easy process, requiring little technical effort to get our data exposed to a growing set of emerging blockchain-based markets.
“Thanks to Chainlink and its robust infrastructure, we are able to provide our action sports analytics on-chain to a global market. With our official Chainlink node now live, developers across a multitude of blockchain environments can begin consuming our data, opening up new use cases for smart contracts and providing us with a new source of revenue.”—Scott Robinson, Founder and CEO of Apex146.
