Kaiko’s Data On-Ramp is now live on the Stellar network’s mainnet, delivering the pricing data that lending protocols, DEXs, and tokenized money market funds need for NAV calculations, collateral valuations, and trade settlement.
Kaiko, the global leader in digital asset market data, analytics, indices, and data infrastructure, today announced the launch of its Data On-Ramp on the Stellar network. The deployment extends Kaiko’s on-ramp solution to Stellar’s smart contract platform, Soroban.
Why This Matters for the Stellar Ecosystem
As lending protocols, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), real-world assets (RWAs) grow on the Stellar network, they need reliable price data to value collateral, calculate net asset values, settle trades, and manage risk. The Kaiko Data On-Ramp fills that gap.
The initial deployment covers 16 digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Tether (USDT), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), Avalanche (AVAX), Chainlink (LINK), Cardano (ADA), XRP, Litecoin (LTC), and Stellar Lumens (XLM), along with a reference price for the U.S. dollar and USDC. Crypto rates are the first step. Coverage will expand based on ecosystem demand, and the Data On-Ramp will deliver additional data types beyond crypto, including foreign exchange rates and NAV feeds, as well as licensed third-party data.
How it works
The Kaiko Data On-Ramp pushes signed rate updates to Stellar at regular intervals – currently every 60 minutes, with the option for instant on-demand updates. Each update carries a digital signature that any Soroban smart contract can verify, confirming the data originated from Kaiko and has not been altered. Developers do not need to build their own data retrieval logic; the rates are onchain, ready to be consumed.
“Stellar applications need the same quality of pricing data that institutional markets run on off-chain. The Data On-Ramp delivers that – starting with crypto rates, and expanding to FX, NAV feeds, and third-party data as protocols come online. Our commitment to Stellar goes beyond a single product, we plan to bring Kaiko’s full suite of data infrastructure solutions to the network over time,” said Amy Denier, Global Head of Capital Markets at Kaiko.
“Price data is infrastructure and now with Kaiko’s Data On-Ramp live on Stellar, developers building lending markets, DEXs, and tokenized funds get institutional-grade rates onchain from day one,” said Jose Fernandez da Ponte, President and Chief Growth Officer at the Stellar Development Foundation.
What Comes Next
Kaiko is working to bring the oracle to production and integrate it with money market funds, DEXs, lending protocols, and other Stellar applications that need pricing data for core operations. The next planned data additions include foreign exchange rates, and net asset value (NAV) feeds to power tokenized money market funds on the network.
Kaiko’s Ambre Soubiran will speak at Stellar’s Meridian conference on October 28-29 in Lisbon.
The Stellar network launch is the latest expansion of Kaiko’s Data On-Ramp, which also operates on other blockchain networks and already delivers both Kaiko rates and licensed third-party data from providers including Bloomberg and New Change FX.
