Thousands of attendees gathered together at #SmartCon 2022 for two jam-packed days of keynotes, presentations, networking, satellite events, and afterparties.
Here's what it was like to be on the ground in #NYC.
2/ The conference took place at The Market Line—an expansive, three-floor space perfect for everything from in-depth technical discussions to making new friends.
3/ There were four presentation stages: Aristotle, Descartes, Rand, and Socrates.
Here, 150+ of the brightest minds from across Web2 and #Web3 spoke about the developments pushing our space forward.
4/ From live music to secret treasure hunts, Big Mac meals to an elaborate mural, there were experiences hidden at every corner of the conference.
5/ Attendees ended each conference day at SmartCon afterparties, with lines that wrapped around the block.
Afterparties were the perfect way to decompress, whether they took place under the famous NYC skyline or inside the vibrant Museum of Ice Cream.
6/ Thank you to all those who played a part in bringing the SmartCon 2022 experience to life.
We hope to see everyone again next year.

Tamper-proof recordkeeping, real-time transparency, & secure automation can help modernize a wide range of government and public sector operations.
Here are 10+ ways that blockchain can strengthen U.S. federal agencies 🧵↓
1. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
Secure Recordkeeping for Food Safety and Recalls
Food safety incidents can spread across a complex supply chain.
Blockchain can be used to log inspection dates, temperature records, & other key data at critical points in the food supply chain.
2. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
Verifiable Record of IP Transfers and Licensing
Patent and trademark ownership transfers, along with licensing agreements, can be recorded onchain to create a time-stamped, verifiable history of changes in rights and control.
Payment Abstraction is a cross-chain-enabled payment system that reduces payment friction in the Chainlink Network.
It allows users to pay for Chainlink services with the assets they already have (e.g., gas tokens), which are automatically converted to LINK via @Uniswap.
Payment Abstraction has been connected to Chainlink SVR—a novel MEV recapture solution recently launched on mainnet, with @aave as the first user.
Chainlink Smart Value Recapture (SVR) is a novel oracle solution that enables DeFi apps to recapture the non-toxic MEV derived from their use of Chainlink Price Feeds.
SVR was built in collaboration with @bgdlabs, Flashbots, & @aave DAO contributors.
Introducing the Multistream upgrade for Chainlink Data Streams.
One decentralized oracle network (DON) can now support 1000s of unique data points per second—a 1000x throughput increase.
We've also improved operations to allow Streams to be launched faster than ever before 🧵
Chainlink Data Streams is a pull-based oracle solution, where data's aggregated offchain at sub-second intervals & users can pull data onchain at any time.
This enables the creation of high-frequency DeFi apps secured by Chainlink’s decentralized low-latency data infrastructure.
Multistream is a new parallelized architecture for Data Streams.
A single Multistream DON can now serve 1000s of data points in parallel across chains and any range of asset classes.
