Nethermind joins Chainlink’s node operator network
Nethermind has joined the Chainlink Network as a node operator, expanding the infrastructure supporting Chainlink’s Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and its on-chain data feeds.
The firm, which is the headline sponsor of the Capital Pioneer Summit in London this September, said the move strengthens the reliability layer used by institutions exploring on-chain finance.
Nethermind will migrate its DVN operations and begin securing CCIP, the interoperability protocol increasingly referenced by banks and market‑infrastructure providers testing cross‑chain settlement and tokenised‑asset frameworks. The firm will also support Chainlink’s Data Feeds, which supply price and market data to decentralised finance applications and institutional pilots.
Nethermind said the partnership reflects a shared focus with Chainlink on secure‑by‑default, production‑grade infrastructure for institutional adoption. Nethermind’s 200‑plus engineering team will contribute tooling, integration support and security expertise for organisations building on public networks.
“Being a node operator carries real responsibility for a network’s reliability,” said Daniel Celeda, CEO of Nethermind. “We’re bringing that same deep engineering expertise to meet the demands of Chainlink’s institutional clients.”
Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs, said: “Nethermind’s decision to migrate to Chainlink reflects how enterprise‑minded infrastructure providers are increasingly choosing protocols built on secure‑by‑default foundations as institutional adoption accelerates.”
Nethermind added that the partnership builds on its work across Ethereum core development, formal verification and institutional blockchain solutions.
