By establishing #Chainlink as the industry standard oracle solution today in the early stages of smart contract adoption…

The revenue opportunities at peak adoption become massive, where it’s well acknowledged that Chainlink is a requirement to make your use case possible
This can only be achieved by focusing on adoption growth via user acquisition in the early days

The initial costs of fueling growth isn’t free, but if successful, will pay for itself many times over

Fund growth -> Establish position today -> Monetize industry growth
But this needs to be taken with a realistic approach

The goals need to be set clearly with a practical ten year game plan to sustain growth

Just giving people tokens for contributing little to nothing attracts just mercenary capital, capital must reinforce a moat
Unfortunately, crypto has largely skewed people’s timeline focus due to unsustainable yield programs made possible by printing tokens with little thought

Projects taking a realistic approach to growth are misunderstood as a result and are discounted
How many of the cryptos in the top 100 will still be relevant in the coming decades?

Short term meta games can be fun, but ultimately I’m interested in what has the greatest growth and value capture potential with a realistic approach of achieving that
When it comes to the Chainlink, the future revenue potential is immense across multiple domains

Real-world data
Off-chain compute
Cross-chain interoperability
Blockchain abstraction layer

All pushing the ecosystem forward and earning revenue from the ecosystem’s success
Network effects are already being achieved including an economies of scale (greater adoption lowers costs for users) and the horizontal integration of services (integrating one services leads to integrating more)

The demand for Chainlink services across chains is immense
As the revenue of Chainlinked dApps increase and more dApps become Chainlinked, more revenue flows to the Chainlink network

The total addressable market here is the global system of contracts (aka the world economy)
Hence why the staking of $LINK is a such a crucial part of the system

The native asset of the network evolves to become the right to gain access to this growing revenue by helping secure the network

The fuel of the oracle economy
But to reiterate the core point, the ability to earn massive revenue from the global adoption of smart contracts is only possible if you become standardized *today*

If you don’t strategically invest in growth today with sustainable goals, you’ll miss this opportunity entirely
The point of crypto is not to give people money to increase your TVL in the short term

It’s to create a more trust-minimized, transparent, and equitable system of contract for the world

That’s where the real long term revenue opportunities lie

When a new chain is launched, the most common promotion is that they’re faster and cheaper than Ethereum

The issue is that they start with an empty state tree, which is then compared to Ethereum, which has a massive 6+ year old state tree (100GB+)

Don’t fall for the fallacy
A larger state tree means reading / witting to state takes longer and is more computationally expensive

When your state tree is empty, ofc it’s going to be cheaper than Ethereum, the real test is how it compares once it reaches the same level as Ethereum
Not to mention the fact that many new chains usually have a larger block size / faster block time (i.e. higher gas/second)

Meaning all else equal, the hardware requirements (at the same state tree size and tx demand as Ethereum) is higher and therefore affecting decentralization

Censorship-resistance is one of the key properties behind crypto that grants anyone in the world to transact freely

This can range from dictators to human right activists

A tool of freedom is a instrument that can be used for good or for evil, no different than the internet
Illicit activity made up less than 0.15% of crypto transaction volume in 2021 (Chainanalysis)

Yet even so, crypto will be defamed as just a way to evade sanctions and trigger calls for greater privacy invasive KYC measures

The road to hell is paved with good intentions
Attempting to introduce censorship as an ingrained property of the system as a way to block bad actors will have unintended consequences of also blocking those who utilize crypto as a way to survive when their traditional finance and monetary system collapses

1/ #Chainlink VRF v2 is now live on mainnet, serving as an upgrade for the ecosystem’s most widely adopted verifiable randomness solution

The result? Five significant improvements in cost-efficiency and configurability

Let’s break it down 🧵👇
2/ For context, Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) is a secure random number generator (RNG) purpose-built for smart contract applications

Each RNG value is backed by a cryptographic proof that is verified on-chain, preventing manipulation from oracles, users, and miners
3/ Since its release, Chainlink VRF v1 has fulfilled over 3M requests for randomness and now serves over 2,300 smart contracts across multiple blockchains

Use cases include:
- Fair NFT minting
- Loot box drops
- Lotteries/raffles
- On-chain gaming dApps

Now onto the upgrades

1/ When people think about cross-chain interoperability, it's usually in reference to token bridges

But that's just the initial version of the multi-chain ecosystem

Cross-chain state synchronization and automation will enable a new generation of cross-chain smart contracts
2/ Token bridging has allowed the multi-chain ecosystem to flourish as user can switch environments

But ironically, in many ways, this has lead to greater isolation

If your assets are on chainA, you can only use your assets within dApps on chainA
3/ Sure you can manually bridge tokens to another environment, interact with dApps there, and then bridge your tokens back

But this involves a lot of friction, higher fees, and is generally not an ideal UX

Interacting across chains needs to be seamless

Oracle Data Feeds on zkRollups are a complete game changer economics wise

A Data Feed with hundreds of nodes posting thousands of updates per batch has the same L1 gas cost footprint as a price feed with 1 node posting 1 update per batch
How?

zkRollups like @dydxprotocol don't post the raw tx data on-chain, rather they post compressed state diffs (state differences from batch n and batch n+1)

A Data Feed is an on-chain reference contract with a variable that holds an aggregated value that's updated by oracles
So no matter how many oracle nodes or updates there are, there will only ever be at most 1 state diff per batch for a Data Feed, since updates always touch the same state variable

Signature verification and data aggregation is succinctly proven within the validity proof
