In a blog on Medium, Andrey stated that using Chainlink’s price data oracles, traders on the new exchange can independently verify the accuracy and on-time delivery of prices at contract maturity. He further added,
Chainlink is one of the leading decentralized oracle networks and provides highly secure data oracles to biggies like Google, Oracle, and SWIFT. It allows developers to connect their smart contract to existing data and infrastructure outside the underlying blockchain, and also allows them to launch their decentralized data apps on its mainnet.

Opium, on the other hand, aims to create transparent and decentralized financial markets. It will allow developers to deploy their decentralized derivatives contracts on the exchange, by combining existing derivative logic to Chainlink asset price oracles.
