Switchboard

Switchboard is a permissionless oracle network that connects decentralized applications to real-world data across more than 10 blockchains. Founded as a pioneering oracle protocol in the Solana ecosystem, Switchboard has expanded to serve leading DeFi protocols on Solana, Sui, Aptos, EVM chains (Arbitrum, Core DAO, Optimism), Starknet, Eclipse, Movement, and IOTA. The protocol secures more than $5 billion in on-chain value and processes hundreds of millions of oracle requests weekly for 51+ leading projects.

Core Products

Switchboard offers four primary products built on its permissionless oracle infrastructure:

• Data Feeds: On-demand, real-time price and data feeds secured by Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). Developers can build, manage, and monitor custom data streams using SDKs in Rust and TypeScript. The pull-feed model fetches data only when needed, minimizing latency and cost.
• Oracle Aggregator: A multi-oracle aggregation layer that combines feeds from Pyth, Chainlink, and other oracle providers into a single transaction. Enables more accurate price discovery and improved reliability for dApps.
• Randomness: Verifiable, tamper-proof randomness powered by TEE-secured oracles. Suitable for on-chain games, lotteries, NFT minting, and financial applications requiring unbiased randomness.
• Secrets: Confidential data management integrated into oracle feeds, allowing developers to securely store and use API keys and private data within smart contracts without exposing them to node operators.

Key Strengths

Switchboard differentiates itself through four core principles: speed (2-5ms latency with Surge, 400ms standard), low cost (pull-feed model eliminates constant streaming), permissionless access (no approval queue, no onboarding delays), and security (TEE-based confidential compute prevents data manipulation and frontrunning).

The protocol is fully open-source and supports custom data feeds from any on-chain or off-chain source. Developers have complete control over feed composition, update frequency, and data sources, enabling use cases from DeFi lending and DEXs to on-chain gaming and AI agent tooling.

Notable Clients

Switchboard serves leading DeFi protocols including Kamino, Jito, MarginFi, Drift Protocol, GMX, SuiLend, Aries Markets, Solayer, and many others across its supported blockchain networks.

Why Choose Switchboard

Switchboard is the only oracle network that is simultaneously the fastest, most customizable, and fully permissionless. Its TEE-based architecture ensures data confidentiality and integrity without relying on economic security assumptions alone. The builder app and comprehensive SDKs allow any developer to deploy production-grade data feeds immediately, without waiting for vendor approval or lengthy integrations.
