Chainlink News and Announcements
As the oracle network standard, Chainlink now secures top protocols across leading blockchains, powering DeFi and providing the most proven infrastructure for linking decentralized systems to cryptographic truth.
Balaji Srinivasan is now an advisor helping build Chainlink.
@AP’s recent Chainlink node launch was a key milestone in realizing @balajis’ vision of cryptoinformation. His work on the ledger of record will help further Chainlink as the global standard for cryptographic truth.
Chainlink saw unprecedented adoption in Q3 of this year.
With over 250 new projects now Powered By Chainlink—from top dApps to data providers, node operators, and enterprises—the blockchain ecosystem is realizing the power of oracles for unlocking smart contract innovation.
A Final Reminder: There are less than 3 weeks left until the project submission deadline! Whether you want to learn the basics of blockchain coding or you have your eyes on the $550k+ prize pool, sign up below to participate in the hackathon.
