Predictions markets have been a huge unlock for crypto to go mainstream. Just like anything in this space that's worth building they need Chainlink in order to function. Oracles are acting every day more and more as the energy grid powering the new tokenized economy.

JUST IN: The largest decentralized exchange on Solana has adopted Chainlink to power its newly launched prediction markets, @jup_predict. @JupiterExchange's ($2.8B TVL) 5-min & 15-min markets for BTC, ETH, SOL, & more are now secured by fast Chainlink Data Streams market data.

CRE is the infrastructure layer making TradFi × DeFi actually work.

Institutional-grade markets require institutional-grade infrastructure, which is why we’re excited to announce that we will integrate @chainlink into Compound v4. Chainlink has been powering lending markets on Compound for 4+ years, including the integration of their Data Feeds and Smart Value Recapture (SVR) solution in v3. These integrations enable Compound to recapture liquidation-related OEV and redirect value back to the protocol and users. We’re continuing that integration into Compound v4, the next evolution of the Compound protocol. As v4 looks to expand into isolated markets, RWAs, and compliant institutional vaults, Chainlink will provide critical institutional-grade data via Data Feeds to power secure pricing and verifiable risk controls. High-quality price feeds enable Compound to securely support complex collateral types ranging from tokenized treasuries to equities and structured products, all while maintaining strong risk controls and transparency via Chainlink.

@afrochicksnft @Kimi_Moonshot @bankrbot @AlliumLabs @moltbook Moltbook as a learning resource 👀

my trading bot just made her first profit! here's the step-by-step of how we did it: setup: • used @Kimi_Moonshot 2.5 allegretto plan • told her to be an "aggressive degen" • gave her @bankrbot skills • @AlliumLabs skill to read onchain data • @moltbook to learn from other agents told her to look at: • coingecko, gmgn, dexscreener, solscan & basescan for token discovery • an X article on how to trade memecoins • @fomoltapp to practice copy trading documenting: • told her to create a pink html diary to write down everything she learned and send me diary updates on telegram • log things in github other notes: • i used claude and screenshotted when i got stuck • she has made 2 trades: first was a tiny loss, second (this one) was a win - we're in profit • when she made a loss i asked her what she learned i have our whole chat transcript saved so will make a more detailed video and guide soon gonna keep cooking and see how good she can get! resources below and bookmark and follow for more 🔖

Very cool and help full man! I did something similar by forking the main repo and then striping it apart and enabling multi-agent multi-model architecture rather than a single agent open router flow. Was very fun, went from not having a github account to two repos custom built with the help of Claude CoWork and OpenClaw -> was an expensive weekend lmao.

The best way to learn how something works is to build it yourself. So I rebuilt OpenClaw from the ground up, starting from a 20-line Telegram bot and ending with a Mini Openclaw in 400 lines. I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun! Here's the tutorial so you can do it too:

Cycles are a normal part of the crypto industry, what is important is what those cycles reveal about how far the industry has progressed and what next stage/trends of adoption/value creation will go on to define the industry. So far this cycle reveals two key things for me: Firstly, there have been no large risk management failures leading to large institutional failures or widespread systemic risks. In the previous cycle you had FTX and multiple lenders cleaned out through large price drops, this time around I am pleasantly surprised to see none of that or at least none of it at any system wide scale. If the crypto industry and its systems are able to successfully weather large drawdowns in price and liquidity issues then it is a more reliable place to put both retail/client capital and institutional capital. This time has been much better managed than last time. Secondly, real world asset migration on-chain continues to accelerate regardless of Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency prices, signaling that having real world assets on-chain is not tightly coupled to crpytocurrency prices but provides its own unique value that can grow irrespective of market pricing of Bitcoin or other crypto assets. We have seen RWA issuance continue to grow and we've seen leading on-chain perp markets rival tradfi perp markets for very traditional commodities like silver, especially in periods when trading in permissioned traditional markets became harder or more risky vs trading in on-chain permissionless markets. As more and more RWA data goes on-chain to make perps work correctly for more asset types and as more on-chain value is generated as RWAs themselves, I expect these dynamics to only increase regardless of crypto prices. These are both very positive signals for the assumptions I have been making about three key trends I am expecting to work together to reshape our industry in the next stage of its growth into mainstream adoption. Firstly, on-chain perps about real world assets and tokenization of the assets on-chain has unique and durable long-term value which is growing regardless of any other dynamics. It is the value of 24/7/365 markets, on-chain collateral management and on-chain data. Secondly, institutional adoption of our industry will be driven by the fundamental/technology value it provides, accelerated by access to permissionless/always on markets in DeFi, which will grow massively as a result. Thirdly, the infrastructure that will make RWAs possible will be experiencing much more demand as more of the real world finds itself on-chain. As more RWAs have to go on-chain as perps via on-chan data or tokenization itself and as those RWAs are increasingly complex in how they need to work on-chain, more systems will need to interface with chains to enable those RWAs. The first two trends are inevitable market forces that are now accelerating regardless of cryptocurrency prices, that is the real insight I see from this part of the cycle. The third trend is where Chainlink is providing the key global standards/protocols/infrastructure that is needed for providing the data, connectivity and orchestration that accelerates the first two trends. Data is what allows most RWAs to exist on-chain at all. Market data for on-chain perps e.g. on-chain silver markets, Proof of Reserves for Stablecoins, NAV for Tokenized Funds to operate on-chain and many other examples touching every category of RWAs. Chainlink is the largest provider of data to the leading blockchains by far and is successfully servicing the vast majority of DeFi for all their data needs with 70%+ market share. Our new launches with leading institutional data providers like S&P, ICE and many others put Chainlink in a similar position in the growing institutional RWA world. Connectivity to both other chains and existing backend/accounting/risk management systems is key for liquidity. The ability to connect to the other chains as a system of record/source of liquidity and to the existing centralized systems of record/sources of liquidity are key for scaling RWA adoption globally. Chainlink is the leading provider of these capabilities to institutions and has been chosen by the leading security teams in Web3 to be their official bridging provider due to a superior reliability/security track record. Chainlink is also the only system that successfully pulls TradFi payments into on-chain transactions across multiple chains, integrating existing sources of liquidity and new sources of liquidity into one interoperability layer. Orchestration is the process of coordinating multiple systems into one workflow/transaction that defines the core value an application is providing to its users. Coordinating between multiple chains, multiple off-chain systems, multiple market data sources and now multiple AIs is a key function that some system needs to play for the more advanced RWAs to function properly. The Chainlink Runtime Environment seems to be the only environment in which you can currently run a workflow that can coordinate all of these key systems into a single application, already in use by enterprises and with advanced integrations into many key systems. Orchestration has an additional critical component of creating privacy, which there are now new and exciting solutions for being built on CRE. More to come on truly useful privacy as a key feature of CRE's orchestration. If these trends continue I believe what I have been saying for years will happen; on-chain RWAs will surpass cryptocurrency in the total value in our industry and what our industry is about will fundamentally change. This shift will also lead to cryptocurrency's growth as an asset class that benefits from more capital on-chain, but RWAs is how all of this goes mainstream. I have never been more excited about our industry's potential to become the way a better version of the global financial system works to benefit all of us.
