"@PundiXLabs is using and supporting newly launched @chainlink Price Feeds for $PUNDIX/USD (live today) to accurately distribute platform rewards denominated in the native PUNDIX token"
"The @wise_token lending and borrowing smart contract will utilize #Chainlink Price Feeds to determine the real-time value of assets, enabling it to issue fair market loans and secure its liquidation mechanism"
"Today, we are super excited to launch @LuchadoresNFT alongside the use of #Chainlink VRF to create #NFT collectables that are truly randomly generated at the time of purchase, with 100% of the art and metadata stored on the #Ethereum blockchain"
"When a Luchador NFT is purchased with $ETH using MetaMask, our smart contract uses the @Uniswap V2 Router to convert the user’s $ETH to the required fee to consume VRF in $LINK"
#Chainlink adoption -> demand for $LINK from users to pay for oracle services
"Here’s how @ChainLinkGod; a #Chainlink community ambassador and in our opinion expert summed up the cryptocurrency in one sentence for us"
"@platinumqdao is delighted to announce its planned integration of #Chainlink Price Feeds to support the development and operations of a new Margin Tool for x5 leverage trading on @Uniswap and @pancakeswapp_"
"A week into building @VulcanExchange at the #Chainlink hackathon, Thalen heard @mcuban talk about blockchain-based weather insurance on a podcast. Before the hackathon was over, Cuban had jumped on board Vulcan as a strategic advisor"
"By being one of the initial protocols to leverage @chainlink on #Avalanche, @BenqiFinance will decentralize one of the fundamental components within the protocol: the price oracle"
"We are excited to announce that @beyondfinanceio is now using #Chainlink Price Feeds to accurately and securely price all of our platform’s synthetic assets during the minting, swapping, redeeming, and/or liquidation processes"
"In @SergeyNazarov’s view, definitive truth that is “acceptable to both counterparties” is “what’s necessary and sufficient for everything to move forward in a better way” than the current status quo, where a bank gets to unilaterally decide what happens" chainlinktoday.com/chainlink-co-f…
1/ Interesting discussion today with @elonmusk about the differences between #Bitcoin and #Dogecoin in regards to decentralization and the ability to serve as a new digitally-native money for the people
Here are some additional nuances on the subject
2/ As one of the people who helped bootstrap @PayPal to where it is today, I understand Elon's perspective regarding the traditional centralized currencies like $USD in the context of payments
But blockchains are entirely different technology with very different considerations
3/ Blockchains are designed to be inherently decentralized, censorship resistant, and permissionless in order to lower the barrier of entry for financial activity
Centralized finance does not reflect these values due to its centralized, censorable, and permissioned nature
"Proof of Stake = rich get richer" is an example of a half-truth
It paints a human societal problem as something that's unique to Proof of Stake (it's not)
Proof of Work has the same exact problem with ASICs, but arguably worse because of economies of scale for energy usage
Yes it's true that PoW miners need to sell a *portion* of their mined coins to stay profitable, but ultimately the profit margins between PoW and PoS will be extremely similar
PoW's higher selling pressure simply means more buyers are needed in order to just keep the price flat
With EIP-1559 burning the base fees of transactions, PoS systems can be deflationary, off-setting this problem by granting *everyone* a higher percentage of the supply over time
Having captial always means you can generate more capital, this is not at all unique to PoS *or* PoW
"The initial integration involves @FloatProtocol leveraging the widely-used $ETH/USD @Chainlink Price Feed to power our monetary policy and price stabilisation mechanisms"
"@DafiProtocol's algorithmic distribution model secured by #Chainlink’s decentralized data feeds opens up a new type of token distribution mechanism that creates much needed long-term incentives for supporting decentralized networks"
"By integrating #Chainlink VRF, we (@OfficialZeroDEX) ensure that ALL Launchpad participants have a provably fair and unbiased chance at being selected as a winner of various IDO allocations"
1/ Vitalik recently created a proposal on the Uniswap governance forum that they should shift focus and create a human-based token-weighted voting oracle mechanism to provide algorithmic stablecoins with USD-paired price data
Here's why I think this is not a practical proposal
2/ What is suggested is that Uniswap copy the Augur/UMA model where $UNI token holders are asked what the price of an asset is against USD, it is voted upon, and then multi-day/week dispute rounds are initiated as needed that can ultimately result in a token fork
3/ To note, this proposed oracle mechanism has nothing to do with Uniswap's existing on-chain TWAP oracle that I explored in this blog post below
"Because market data is fetched from off-chain, on-chain flash loans have zero effect on the data provided by the ETH/USD @Chainlink Price Feed, entirely solving the issues presented in the theoretical examples above" -@orbs_network orbs.com/orbs-integrate…
"@SataToken is building risk analysis systems off-chain for service providers, who will then in turn report dynamic risk levels of identities on-chain using #Chainlink-powered decentralized oracle networks"
