#Chainlink is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with NFTs, one oracle service at a time.
A thread on NFT innovation 🧵
When you think of #NFTs, you're probably envisioning something like a #CryptoPunk—a unique, 1-of-1 token with an image attached to its metadata that never changes.
This static format represents most NFTs today. But what else is possible with NFTs?
Imagine you have a house NFT. Every time something in it is upgraded, the NFT updates to reflect this. When the house is sold, the token is transferred to its new owner.
Static or dynamic, what can you do with an NFT other than hold it?
Hybrid NFT-DeFi applications are on the horizon, enabling you to put your NFT to work. NFT lending, prediction markets, indices, and more are now possible.
1/ With the collapse of a once trusted exchange, an unprecedented number of users are migrating to self-custodial wallets.
However, risk still exists in #DeFi with entities like exchanges minting wrapped tokens.
#Chainlink Proof of Reserve is critical for reducing this risk.
2/ Powered by oracles, Chainlink Proof of Reserve enables the reliable and timely monitoring of reserve assets backing wrapped tokens within the DeFi space.
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.
1/ Cryptographic truth is a new form of trust-minimized computing that fundamentally shifts the nature of trust in society—replacing handshakes, brand reputation, and paper contracts with tamper-proof computer code executed on decentralized networks.
2/ Trust-minimization involves methods that limit participants in an interaction from stating false info, stealing from others, going offline, or breaking agreed-upon rules.
When probabilistic variables are reduced, the interaction is more likely to function exactly as designed.
3/ Cryptographic truth is a trust-minimized computing paradigm based on cryptography & decentralized consensus.
Cryptography secures the integrity of actions taken in an interaction while decentralized consensus guarantees fairness, correctness, & uptime when validating actions.
