Glacier is a CeDeFi transaction platform that provides alternative options in the finance industry. It has incorporated the price feeds of Chainlink on the Polygon mainnet. Glacier can now access tamper-proof, superior-quality pricing feeds required to construct rates of exchange in real-time on multiple fiat and cryptocurrencies used in borrowing and lending by integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network. It will assure users by ensuring that the values on the platform are always up to date, safe, and reliable.
The following Chainlink Price Feeds were used in the first integration: BTC/USD, CLP/USD, and ETH/USD. Chainlink was chosen as the only oracle solution since its architecture is easy for integration and has been used in production for a long time.
Glacier acts as a liquidity protocol by using the exchange platform and fiat on/off-ramp to link crypto-asset owners with owners of fiat assets. As a result, owners of crypto assets can access liquidity without selling their assets. In contrast, owners of fiat assets would offer liquidity in exchange for reduced risk returns. Glacier required access to new asset values that were given on-chain immediately in a very dependable way to secure the exchange rates reference while providing loans and monitoring their collateralization. A volume average of all trading settings should be used to determine equal market values of an asset.
