Chainlink Relayer
Chainlink Relayer instantly relays Chainlink price feeds on Ethereum to IoTeX network, for enabling dApps where price feeds are needed
The prices are relayed to a contract (called shadow aggregator) on IoTeX which has exactly the same interface as Chainlink's aggregator, and it makes dApps to migrate to use Chainlink effortlessly once their integration with IoTeX is done.
The client waits for 20 blocks (around 5 minutes) to confirm a transaction.
Anyone can run a relayer to relay the information. So it is permissionless!
Shadow Aggregators
For each aggregator on Ethereum, IoTeX provides a shadow aggregator on IoTeX.
IoTeX Testnet
The table below lists the shadow aggregators deployed on IoTeX testnet:
IoTeX Mainnet
Exchange Aggregators
Exchange aggregators have the same interface as Chainlink aggregators. Prices are read from exchanges, and the average value of these prices will be fed to the exchange aggregator by permitted relayers if:
The value deviates by 0.5% or more from the last price, or
The time interval is more than 1 hour.
Exchanges used for fetching IOTX prices include Binance, Huobi, CoinGecko, KuCoin, and Coinbase.
