ADA Records Sharp Decline Despite Cardano’s First Oracle Integration
While the rest of the crypto market might be in a bearish trend due to no significant catalyst to move it, Cardano (ADA) is currently recording a plummet, losing a few cents in the past 24 hours despite the blockchain’s first ever-Oracle integration launch.
Cardano Gets First-Ever Oracle Integration
On April 6, Charli3, an open-source decentralized Oracle launched on the Cardano blockchain via integration with Liqwid, a leading decentralized interest rate protocol for lending and borrowing on Cardano.
Viewed as the Cardano Version of Chainlink, Charlie3 would now be able to provide the ecosystem with necessary secure, safe, and accurate data. According to the Cardano ecosystem ambassador, Yevhen, this move is a “major occasion” for the blockchain.
Yevhen noted:
This is a MAJOR occasion for the Cardano ecosystem as a whole, showing that projects are following the continuous push for complete decentralization in Cardano.
So far, with the integration with Liqwid, Charlie3 can now supply Cardano with accurate on-chain feeds. Currently, the Oracle protocol only supports prices for SHEN/ADA. According to the announcement, ADA/USD will be the next price feed integrated with Oracle.

“Using Charli3 Oracles, Liqwid is paving the way to expand decentralization and security within Cardano DeFi, setting the best example for new projects building on Cardano to focus on security, reliability, and safety,” Yevhen added.
This latest achievement from Cardano is a monumental milestone for the blockchain as it now allows several projects looking to create an oracle needed project to build on the blockchain.
For instance, Liqwid will now be able to use the Charli3 oracle protocol for its services such as executing liquidations for under-collateralized loans, calculations to create new loans, and updating collateral values.
