The goal of the partnership is to make decentralized applications existing within the Elrond ecosystem and to make them even more reliable and secure. Both of the projects are working closely together to complete the BandChain bride implementation.

 “We’re impressed by the capabilities of the Band Protocol team as well as the increased security and scalability of their oracles — making it an obvious oracle solution for Elrond developers who are building with focus on scalability.”

The integration will help the developer’s leverage Band’s oracles to connect off-chain data sources into smart contracts while also eliminating the high costs and delayed data streams by the other blockchain oracles.
