# Chainlink Integrates With Alpend and Raven Market as Canton’s Application Layer Takes Shape

**By Chainlink, Press release issuer** · Published 3 May 2026 · ECOSYSTEM · Press release

> Alpend and Raven Market are adopting Chainlink Data Streams to support private credit markets and deterministic options settlement on Canton.

![Chainlink Integrates With Alpend and Raven Market as Canton’s Application Layer Takes Shape](https://pnyaxwohgkgczwuvbaqg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/article-images/articles/1777778184255.png)

[**Chainlink**](https://chain.link/?utm_source=chatgpt.com), a Super Validator on the Canton Network, has announced new integrations with [**Alpend**](https://alpend.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) and [R**aven Market**](https://raven.market/?utm_source=chatgpt.com)**,** two Canton-native applications adopting Chainlink Data Streams for market data.

The announcement marks a shift from infrastructure-level participation to application-level adoption. Canton has often been discussed as a network for institutional blockchain infrastructure. These integrations show how that infrastructure is beginning to support specific financial markets, including private credit and digital options.

For Alpend, Chainlink Data Streams will provide low-latency pricing data for its privacy-preserving credit markets. In practice, that means more reliable collateral pricing and deterministic liquidations for its privacy-native money market on Canton. Lending markets depend on accurate collateral values. When those values are delayed or unreliable, risk management can break down quickly.

For Raven Market, the integration is aimed at its time-bound options market. Options contracts require a clear settlement price at expiry. Chainlink Data Streams are intended to support accurate resolutions, tamper-resistant outcomes and predictable contract execution, allowing contracts to settle according to market data rather than discretion.

Together, the integrations point to a broader development in Canton’s application layer. Financial markets do not run on ledgers alone. They also need pricing data, collateral logic, execution rules and settlement mechanisms that participants can trust. Chainlink is supplying part of that data layer, while Canton provides the privacy-preserving environment in which those applications can operate.

The announcement does not, by itself, prove that Canton’s application ecosystem is mature. But it does suggest that more serious financial infrastructure is forming around the network. The more important question is no longer simply which institutions validate Canton, but which markets can be built on top of it.

For now, Alpend and Raven Market offer an early answer: credit and derivatives markets that combine privacy, external data and deterministic execution.
