Chainlink 🤝 Amazon

The Chainlink data standard: Now available to millions of AWS developers ⚒️

Just so you don't freak out... We're probably going down to the 8s and will probably touch the 7s. Am I selling? No. But I am getting ready to scoop up some more $LINK

@gavinlowther "you are betting on a private company's decisions" Yes. yes I am. And?

The distinction I see between $BTC and $LINK comes down to one thing: who controls the outcome. Bitcoin's future is not contingent on any company's decisions. LINK's success hinges entirely on Chainlink Labs' actions. Bitcoin meets standards across every relevant criteria: decentralization, fixed supply, no team that can dilute or redirect value away from holders. LINK's network is real, the use case is real, but governance is centralized, supply is concentrated, and retail holders are passengers in someone elses vehicle. You are betting on a private company's competence. LINK requires trusting a team, & I don't think retail is compensated fairly for that risk.

Most alts are solutions looking for problems. When it comes to utility there is no 2nd place. There's only $LINK

As part of my ongoing, long-term DCA strategy, I bought another 1000 $link today. Bringing my stack to anoter 1000 linky-poohs lol Ok, it's becoming an eyewatering amount now but I will not stop. Next month, too as part of my q'rly strat, I will swap 1btc for the same. ...Onwards

@Bitcoinprof0637 I could tell you what’s going on but it’s been right under your nose the whole time and you still couldn’t smell it.

My conversation with @SergeyNazarov has been one of the most fascinating conversations I've had on @new_era_finance. The complexity of the product of Chainlink is beyond insane. If you've had that vision already multiple years ago, I can only hugely respect that. I've had the ability to ask him some personal questions on his philosophy of life and the way he approaches challenges.

Chainlink’s Total Value Secured has surpassed $110B.

@chainlink Haters gonna hate

$LINK RESERVE UPDATE The Chainlink Reserve just accumulated 123,777.33 LINK ($1.1M+). Total holdings: 3,779,076.15 LINK.

NEW MILESTONE Chainlink Total Value Secured: $110,000,000,000+ ↳ Cross-Chain Tokens (CCIP): $60B+ ↳ DeFi (Data Feeds): $50B+ JUST THE BEGINNING

You are incorrect on multiple dimensions LayerZero’s configurable ad-hoc architecture offers zero security guarantees (no security floor) and outsources all security considerations to token issuers This requires devs to be cross chain-infra security experts just to establish the bare minimum security assurances, hence most LZ bridges are highly centralized (which resulted in the $292 million rsETH exploit) Whereas, Chainlink CCIP’s defense-in-Seth architecture is designed to be secure-by-default, with every cross-chain transaction validated by 16 independent node operators, by default across all chain lanes Chainlink has never launched, operated, or supported any 1/1 centralized custodial bridges like LZ Labs has Chainlink has also never traded memecoins on production multisig keys or otherwise cut corners on security to save costs when it comes to opsec like LZ Labs has Chainlink CCIP upgrades are also timelocked with a mandatory node review period where CCIP nodes can veto any changes, unlike LZ Labs which has no timelock or veto process on default config changes So no, Chainlink is not exposed to the same risks and is actually purpose built to eliminates entire categories of risk that LayerZero exposes its users to Hence why $4B in capital from teams like Kraken, Solv, Lombard, etc have migrated from LayerZero to CCIP in past few weeks

🚨 Anthropic just showed a 27-minute workshop on how to actually do prompts for Claude. Taught by the people who built it. Free. No registration. No paywall. I've seen $300 courses that don't cover what they teach in the first 8 minutes. Watch it and bookmark it now.

a second $NKE patent has referenced $LINK

Three key trends I am increasingly excited about... 1: Our industry has started caring much more about the security and reliability of the infrastructure, standards and oracles/dependencies that it is built on top of. This shift in focus towards security is already massively benefiting Chainlink because it is built with security and reliability in mind from the start e.g. 16 nodes vs 1 of 1 or 2 of 2 (which is actually often just a 1 of 1 in disguise). This focus on reliability and security makes a better system for everyone in the DeFi/TradFi industry to transact with less risk and also leads to more overall Chainlink adoption over time. The way Chainlink became the leading data oracle is through security and reliability, I think that will happen across all categories where Chainlink deploys services for the same reasons. We are now clearly seeing this dynamic take place in cross-chain interoperability, with many large users migrating onto CCIP after conducting deeper security reviews of bridging providers, more and more of which are now being published, some telling quotes below: x.com/krakenfx/statu… Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including: • ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications • Secure by default architecture • 16 independent nodes • Native rate limits, and more. x.com/LidoFinance/st… and blog.lido.fi/cross-chain-se… The analysis covers how Chainlink CCIP delivers strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer control as default protocol-level guarantees, which insulates wstETH from a number of attack vectors behind the Kelp / LayerZero exploit. x.com/Lombard_Financ… Chainlink CCIP has emerged as the standard in cross-chain infrastructure, providing an enterprise-grade framework to secure high-value assets With over $4Billion migrated in just a few weeks and more on the way, I am clearly seeing the industry's clear preference for security and reliability being a key trend leading to accelerated adoption of Chainlink and CCIP. 2: Chainlink has always continued to build and added many of its best features during down markets, when there is less noise to distract top teams from building. Because Chainlink already has clear product market fit, being able to focus on building the future is a powerful accelerant for future progress and is actually what I and many of the people building Chainlink are here for. I am very excited about both the use case specific features e.g. collateral management and the increasing number of reusable primitives e.g. verifiable confidential compute in CRE, which are now actively being built, refined and launched with top users. In my experience, during the down market lulls is when the best things get built, and I am truly thrilled to see Chainlink being built to better serve its existing users and entirely new users. 3: The RWA, TradFi Tokenization and Digital Assets industry has now decoupled from crypto prices as a determining factor of its success and is a rapidly growing market of its own. Great news for the technologies, standards and infrastructures that can serve this new and growing demand, of which Chainlink is at the very top of the list. By having the relevant certifications; blog.chain.link/chainlink-achi…, being the historically most secure/reliable option with the largest amount of value enabled and being able to compose multiple key primitives (Data + Interoperability + Identity/compliance + verifiable off-chain orchestration) into full end-to-end solutions like no other platform can, puts the Chainlink platform/ecosystem in a unique place to be adopted by this new and growing market. This is now becoming increasingly clear in practice through Chainlink's adoption in various parts of the capital markets; from collateral management with some of the most recent examples being... DTCC using CRE and Data for their production plans; dtcc.com/news/2026/may/… + x.com/The_DTCC/statu… Data providers like SGX using DataLink for key data; x.com/chainlink/stat… Top asset managers like State Street; x.com/chainlink/stat… and Fidelity International; x.com/chainlink/stat…, being powered by Chainlink on the backend. The above are just a small number of recent examples, with many more being worked on all across the TradFi ecosystem, from payments, to tokenized equities, to tokenized funds; all of these on-chain finance use cases need multiple Chainlink components working together. I can't wait for the next stage, where the leading DeFi applications and the top TradFi institutions start interoperating through their use of shared on-chain standards, interoperability connections and data/identity oracles, all of which are being provided by Chainlink, together with existing infrastructures. Solving each of these market's individual problems is already exciting, but helping them merge into the new global financial system is something that I and many others in our ecosystem have been working towards for a while. If the above sounds like something worth spending many late nights on, and you can see the future I am talking about, this is the best time to join a top team like Chainlink Labs... if you're the best of the best, excited about the future of the blockchain industry, DeFi, TradFi and building the future of the new global financial system, we are excited to work together with you: chainlinklabs.com/open-roles.

@SergeyNazarov Keep going Sergey. Someone has to make sure crypto doesn't turn out to be a joke.
