.@chainlink has just acquired Cornell University's privacy based oracle DECO

@AriJuels, former chief scientist of RSA and co-creator of DECO, is joining Chainlink Labs to head research

New #Chainlink whitepaper v2 is in the works as well
coindesk.com/chainlink-bloc…
"Nazarov said DECO can be used as a foundation for permissionless credit or decentralized identification

An oracle like DECO could one day allow a smart contract to query off-chain credit information such as banking records without overreaching into personal data"
“DECO is the way a lot of collateral will make its way to DeFi,” @SergeyNazarov said.

Juels told CoinDesk this privacy is possible through DECO’s incorporation of zero-knowledge proofs"

Happy new year frens, welcome to 2024 🙌

Obligatory thread of some of my unfiltered thoughts and predictions regarding the major crypto trends this year

🧵 Image
• Bitcoin as a Dominant Asset Class

The catalysts for $BTC are clear; a dozen or so spot ETFs a week from approval, halving in April, multiple interest rate cuts, and fiat money printer brrrrr

Initial ETF inflows won’t be as massive as expected but will ramp up over the yearImage
Image
Image
Image
$BTC spot ETF Issuers will battle over management fees (sub 40bps fees), advertising will be strong (Super Bowl ads), and a lawsuit with the SEC over allowing in-kind issuance/redemption vs just cash

$ETH ETF will be next and then no ETFs for other tokens this year (2025 tho…)

A liquid restaking token that is backed by liquid staking tokens deposited in a restaking protocol which rehypothecates staked ETH

This is getting pretty deep, can we add another layer of liquidity and risk here? I don’t think we have enough
Note that there’s four+ layers of risk

1. Risk of staking ETH
2. Risk of liquid staking ETH
3. Risk of restaking ETH
4. Risk of liquid restaking ETH

You’re not only exposed to slashing and smart contract bug risk at each tier, but risks that only appear when composing protocols
Hell, why not take this further

Deposit your liquid restaking token into an AMM DEX, get an LP token back in return, and then deposit that LP token into a money market as collateral so you can borrow even more ETH to liquid restake

Adds 3 more layers of risk to the process

"Chainlink is just an oracle"

What started as a single ETH/USD Price Feed has since expanded into a fully-featured platform of services

There are now 1,000+ #Chainlink oracle networks that span external data, offchain compute, and cross-chain interoperability

A thread 🧵 Image
Oracles connect blockchains to external systems, enabling them to execute based on inputs/outputs from the real world

Before chainlink, oracles were highly centralized and insecure, with frequent oracle attacks resulting in exploits and loss of funds

garbage in -> garbage out Image
Chainlink solved this problem through the creation of decentralized oracle networks (DONs), backed by strong cryptoeconomic incentives and high quality node operators

Chainlink isn't a monolithic network, but rather a platform for creating oracle networks

Arta TechFin, a Hong Kong-based financial services institution, is collaborating with #Chainlink Labs on the creation of regulated, fiat-based, cross-chain tokenized funds 👀

Chainlink CCIP will enable the transfer of fund tokens across public and private chains, increasing liquidity through cross-chain atomic settlement

Chainlink Data Feeds will provide transparent data for onchain Net Asset Value (NAV) reporting, making the data instantly available to all market participants

Chainlink Proof of Reserve will verify that the onchain fund tokens are backed and secured by designated assets under traditional and crypto custodians

The future is on

$LINK is the true institutional coin

And not because of flimsy handwavey narratives or vague hyped up “connections”

But because @Chainlink has been working directly with the largest financial institutions globally on accelerating tokenized asset adoption via #CCIP

"Working with more than a dozen major financial institutions and market infrastructures and Chainlink, a leading Web3 services platform, Swift has successfully demonstrated that it can provide a single point of access to multiple networks using existing, secure infrastructure, thereby significantly reducing operational challenges and investment required for institutions to support the development of tokenised assets." - @swiftcommunity
