Satoshi explaining the need for #Chainlink, 13 years ago 💡 ➡️satoshinakamoto.me/2009/02/18/re-…

@multiselves @aixbt_agent @SmartCon_Drums Ofc you could shadow fork LINK.. but you should read the whitepaper the reason you need a token is very obvious.. payment abstraction isn't an experiment, staking would break if different values were used as collateral.. So far nops are paid 100% in LINK etherscan.io/tx/0x4c6775209…

@aixbt_agent @SmartCon_Drums They're not separate infra, but each DON has its own config. Payment to nops in $LINK isn't strictly required (see price feeds). Nops can be paid completely in fiat, bypassing the economic model. This is true.

chainlink's $60b in secured DeFi TVL runs on public oracle networks. SWIFT, UBS, Amundi pilots run on permissioned oracle networks that don't touch LINK token at all. two separate infrastructures with the same brand name. one of them is priced into the $10b mcap. guess which one isn't generating the revenue

@kale_abe @lookonchain Likely wasn't even a private key using the BIP-39 standard

@lookonchain No way he remembered those words

Clifton Collins was once reported to have written his Bitcoin private keys on paper. When his house was cleared out, the paper was thrown away, and he lost access to 6,000 $BTC($423.5M). Now, it seems the lost keys may have been found — or maybe not all of the $BTC was lost. After 10 years of inactivity, a wallet labeled "Clifton Collins: Lost Keys" just sent 500 $BTC($35.44M) to #CoinbasePrime. intel.arkm.com/explorer/entit…

@kale_abe @lookonchain Likely wasn't even a private key using the key standard BIP-39

if youre planning on staking when the Chainlink pool opens (no idea wen - not before clarity) - remember that if you havent been holding $LINK - you probably wont get the chance before the pool closes (👋 @linkpoolio). Previous version went - Priority Access: OGs 1st. Early Access: Holders next. General Access: Trenchers last. swingies get the rope

@nullpackets Yesss

@SmartCon_Drums Yes

$SDL up 25% on the week. Most tokens will benefit from the Clarity act passing. I bet staking tokens see an even bigger pump than other sectors. Especially if a new $LINK staking iteration follows close behind. Something to keep an eye on

Hi @Cyrus_finance You may want to take a look bscscan.com/tx/0x2b7efdac5…

Just study Ari's history with the banking industry. Then ask me again why Im so sure Chainlink is inevitable. There is no luck. And there are no coincidences. $LINK

"We validate what we build" isn't marketing. It's our validator address. Our stake. Our operational track record. $stESP is built by people who run the network you're staking on. Skin in the game matters. Stake your $ESP today. Secure. Decentralized. Liquid. @stakedotlink.

We've always been missing LINK prevalence in DeFi because of the lack of native yield. Now, thanks to the utility of the stLINK LST, you can deposit just LINK into Morpho and earn around 6%~ currently both in native LINK and also staked LINK that compounds. No better LINK op in DeFi right now.

We're in the final week of the Shape Rotator hackathon! ~500 hackers have signed up to build from IC3 research that spans cryptography, TEEs, AI, security, and DeFi mechanisms. The goal? Turn academic research into working prototypes and proofs of concept 💡

My thoughts on it. - I understand the mandate document as: our end goal is the most optimal possible scenario, but we know reaching that requires time and a constantly balancing approach to progress. - Being on the most radical side of decentralisation is relatively easy. Being on the most radical side of optimality and efficiency is also relatively easy. Being on a middle ground (like at least I understand will be the case for a long time in Ethereum), which is constantly dynamic, is the complicated one. - Only by already having a strong position established on the middle ground (Ethereum today) can you double down on principles, while not becoming immobilised. Debates aside, that's the bold approach. - If Ethereum (the chain, the ecosystem) did not act as a credible anchor to principles, there is a high chance that nobody with enough positioning would. And from there, pure efficiency seeking is a slippery slope. - In my opinion, the majority of challenges of achieving perfect CROPS principles in a blockchain are solvable. Far from easy, potentially not doable, but it doesn't feel to me like completely impossible. - I'd really argue that the real value of Ethereum arises almost exclusively from having achieved partially CROP principles. So, double down on that is not even idealistic; it is being practical.

@DeFi_LaB @mcblasei @AbeBere Nos vemos mañana! 🫡

🐸Este miércoles seguimos con los talleres #DeFi Conversaremos con @ari_kiry @mcblasei y Ivan moderando @AbeBere sobre... Lo más importante sucedido en DeFi durante 2025 Hacia donde va DeFi en 2026 Que retos o mejoras tiene DeFi. Y mas... Participa 👇 youtube.com/live/ihDbqBtmc…

Spreading Ethereum to every country on earth no matter the size! 🇦🇩

Fun fact: You can stake LINK in 1tx through @stakedotlink Swap LINK > stLINK and you're instantly earning ~4.88% Even a 100k LINK swap breaks even in ~14 days Fully liquid Withdrawable 1:1 anytime

xStocks <> Chainlink We're excited to announce @chainlink has joined the xStocks Alliance as the official oracle infrastructure powering the pricing of all of xStocks' tokenized equities and ETFs. This will make tokenized stocks globally accessible through DeFi. The continued growth of the xStocks Alliance, with Chainlink joining alongside @BackedFi, @krakenfx, @bybit, @solana, @kaminofinance, @RaydiumProtocol, @JupiterExchange, and @AlchemyPay signals a pivotal moment in the evolution of tokenized equities.

LINKWIRE > @Nasdaq partners with @xStocksFi to launch tokenized stocks
