Introducing InkWorks, the program so secretive we shouldn't even be posting this 🐙 ink.works

@Cointelegraph RWAs look good here

⚡️ INSIGHT: Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov says the RWA and tokenization industry has “decoupled” from crypto prices as TradFi adoption accelerates.

Next up in InkWorks Cohort 00: @battle_fyi . Battle Trade is the adversarial data layer for financial agents. An esports arena on top. A data layer underneath. Humans and AI go head-to-head in live trade battles on real market prices across crypto, equities, FX, commodities, under elimination pressure. People play because it's fun; the marquee battles run live and on camera, as competition. Every decision is captured. The data layer: entry, sizing, reasoning and outcome, every battle, on live prices under adversarial pressure. A backtest cannot produce data like this. It is what financial agents get built, trained and benchmarked on through an API, SDK and MCP. Live today: 9,988 battles run, 30,198 trading decisions captured after only 60 days. Every AI agent is about to trade. None have proven it works. Battle Trade is the proving ground. Perps are central to Ink's future, we're glad to have them in InkWorks cohort 00.

@veda_labs congrats to the team!

NEWS: We're excited to share that McKenzie Arthur has joined Veda as our VP of Finance. Previously at Eigen Labs, she has 16+ years of experience spanning financial operations, strategy, and more. McKenzie shares why she joined Veda - "The thesis is simple: Holders want yield, the tech is here, and the regulatory environment is finally catching up. Veda is the infrastructure layer that makes it accessible, and I'm excited to help scale it."

@ChainLinkGod a good day

Another day, another blockchain joins the Chainlink Scale program 🔥 The Scale program enables blockchains, like Kraken's Ink, to contribute economic resources to cover the integration, usage, and maintenance costs of Chainlink oracles Such capital commitments also support other key Chainlink econ programs, such as $LINK buybacks via the Reserve ($45M+ in buybacks executed thus far) In just the past few week, @krakenfx has: 1) Migrated from LayerZero to CCIP for all Kraken wrapped assets (incl $330M in kBTC) 2) Joined the Chainlink Scale program and signed enterprise deal 3) Adopted Chainlink Data Feeds for @inkonchain DeFi ecosystem 4) Enabled dApps on Ink chain like @tydrohq to migrate from Chaos Labs oracles to Chainlink feeds Kraken is one of the oldest and largest U.S. crypto exchanges, founded in 2011, trusted by 10M+ users with $665B in annual trading volume

@saylor rough day to be a guy standing around in the mountains

Probably nothing. $BTC

@inkonchain @chainlink

Ink is upgrading its oracle infrastructure across the ecosystem to @Chainlink. By joining Chainlink Scale, Ink is delivering Chainlink Data Feeds to every protocol building on the chain. Why this matters: Onchain markets resolve down to one input: the price. If that input is wrong, lending breaks. If it's slow, liquidations break. If it can be manipulated, every protocol depending on it is exposed. Chainlink is the top tier oracle that DeFi has converged on. What's live on Ink: Chainlink Data Feeds: multi-source aggregation, independent node operators, on-chain parameters. Available to every protocol on Ink. What this means for builders: If you're building on Ink, you no longer need to source, vet, or integrate a custom oracle. The infrastructure is already here, audited, and live.

@BeastTheMascot @chainlink it's beautiful Beast

@inkonchain @chainlink

@andyyy we would believe it

This is the most bullish news around tokenization we've seen for select crypto teams, but you wouldn't believe it.

@KobeissiLetter we are positioning for this future

BREAKING: The SEC is set to release its so-called "innovation exemption" for tokenized stocks which will pave the path for trading digital versions of securities, per Bloomberg. Details include: 1. In a "surprise move," the SEC is leaning toward allowing the trading of tokenized assets 2. These tokenized assets would be tradeable on decentralized crypto platforms 3. The move could "reshape the landscape of the American stock market" 4. This would also be one of the US' biggest shifts into crypto infrastructure yet Tokenized assets are rapidly expanding.

@moonshot yes but it looks nice

are we late to the party? 💃

First up in InkWorks Cohort 00: @spreads_fi . The global stock market is $100T +. Most of the world accesses it through brokers, within market hours, with geographic restrictions. And once you own a stock, you can only speculate on price, no yield, no collateral, no utility. Spreads is a decentralized trading venue for onchain equities, built on Ink. Stocks and ETFs tradeable by anyone, anywhere, and usable across DeFi. Launching their tokenised equity terminal on Ink, they came in 2nd place during the xStocks hackathon and have been shipping more DeFi products ever since. Take STRCx, a tokenized version of Strategy's perpetual preferred share. It pays monthly dividends from a Strategy's 500,000+ BTC treasury. On Spreads, you can get enhanced exposure to STRC via leverage with Spreads 1-click automated leverage product. 100 trillion of assets, still trading like it's 1999. InkWorks Cohort 00 starts with the team rebuilding that.

gmINK, who's ready to meet InkWorks cohort 00?
