"As more and more environmental data sets, such as weather patterns or IoT sensor readings, are fed onto blockchains, developers are beginning to produce a wide range of environmentally-conscious smart contracts"
"@NiftyRoyale is thrilled to announce that we are live on mainnet with #Chainlink Keepers and Chainlink VRF, creating truly random and autonomous #NFT battle royale games on Ethereum"
"In more advanced forms, oracles are responsible for validating definitive truth, which exists on the spectrum between theoretical objective truth and personal subjective truth" - @SergeyNazarov at @GlobalDeFiSmt with @AshBennington
1/ A summary of #Chainlink Labs Chief Scientist Ari Juels' talk on Fair Sequencing Services (FSS) at the @ETHGlobal HackMoney MEV Virtual Summit livestream
Shorter 15 minute presentation but got much more information on how FSS will roll-out into production
2/ There are many different forms of MEV, some can be considered "good" like forms of arbitrage that makes markets more efficient and others "bad" like front-running which makes markets less efficient
The exact distinction between these types are still an open discussion
3/ It's unlikely that all bad forms of MEV will be 100% eliminated, however tools can be built to enact more fair transaction policies for users to help significantly mitigate issues like higher fees
"We're excited to open up a new era of #DeFi in the @FantomFDN ecosystem thanks to a native integration of #Chainlink; a direct by-product of the Chainlink Grant Program"
"@biconomy is thrilled to announce that we are working with #Chainlink to integrate Chainlink Price Feeds on the #Ethereum and #Polygon mainnet, enabling our system to calculate execution fees and rebalance our relayers"
"We (@ape_swap) are excited to announce that we have integrated #Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function) to select winners in our Non-Fungible Ape Holder Rewards Draw held every week"
"Developers will soon be able to call the @dxFeedSolutions Chainlink node to access $BTC and $ETH options analytics data, including implied volatilities for options markets"
"We’re excited to announce that @FarmHeroIO — a cross chain #DEFI protocol that combines yield farming, #NFT and gaming — has integrated #Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the @0xPolygon mainnet"
"We’re excited to announce that @bunicornswap — the all-in-one BSC-powered DEX — will integrate #Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on the #BinanceSmartChain blockchain"
"Our developer bootcamp will give developers across the globe a hands-on, guided experience to begin building with #Solidity smart contracts and @Chainlink oracles to create the next generation of hybrid smart contracts"
"[@SynapseNetwork_ has integrated] #Chainlink VRF to fairly select participants in IDO launches, #Chainlink Price Feeds to determine exchange rates on our native SNP token, and #Chainlink Keepers to automate our staking and vesting contracts"
2/ Data provider run nodes (e.g. Kaiko, Nomics, etc) leverage their own server infrastructure to operate their Chainlink nodes
This indeed requires operational expertise in oracle & blockchain infrastructure, because this is mission critical infrastructure with billions at stake
3/ Data provider approved nodes leverage infrastructure from service providers to bootstrap their Chainlink node (like how firms use AWS, GCP, Azure as their infrastructure)
Data providers publicly signal their official Chainlink node, which only provides access to their data
