Myriad said Chainlink will serve as the exclusive oracle infrastructure provider for its 2026 FIFA World Cup match prediction markets. The company said it is expanding the Chainlink Runtime Environment already used for crypto price markets to automate settlement and clearing for World Cup-related markets, and it plans a $100,000 trading competition tied to the tournament. Oracle infrastructure is central to prediction markets because it brings verified external event data into blockchain-based systems so outcomes can be confirmed and payouts processed.
