Sitting at #Smartcon last year, I listened to @SergeyNazarov make the point that we couldn't trust the validity of information fed to us online, and that now is the opportunity to build a verifiable web, allowing people to come together to trustlessly verify information. It took about a year! But in response, my friends and I built @tgetherio a dapp specifically for this purpose. tgether uses collaborative peer review to help users uncover truth without the influence of centralized authorities. It does this via decentralized data storage on @arbitrum and trustless arbitration powered by @Chainlink Automation. 🧵(1/5) (video source youtube.com/watch?v=8qqy-8…)

Very excited about this report from Visa, showcasing how Chainlink is able to solve the three biggest problems of next generation smart contracts for institutional transactions, all in one platform. 1. Providing the critical data needed to properly price the assets in the transaction and enable transfer agents. 2. Connecting multiple chains to enable the value and the data of the transaction to move across multiple chains. Powering a public chain to private chain connection in this case. 3. Enabling compliance by providing on-chain identity proofs and matching them against various policies from two different jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks. Smart contract transactions in the institutional world are complex, they require various sources of data, multiple cross-chain connections and a reliable form of on-chain identity/compliance, all of which the Chainlink standard is able to uniquely provide in one secure and reliable platform. This transaction between ANZ and Fidelity International, two existing institutional users of Chainlink, all happening within the HKMA regulatory framework which Chainlink has now been being built work within for many years. Complicated flows like this, being executed in a compliant way, is a clear sign of the unique value that Chainlink is now able to provide. As more top institutions adopt the Chainlink standard for data, connectivity and compliance, I expect that they will begin to transact with each other more frequently, as the friction for the institutions on this comprehensive transactional standard is much less than the cost of a transaction on institutions that are on various seperate standards with multiple ways of proving data, connecting chains and creating compliance. As more and more top institutions join the Chainlink standard for institutional transactions to happen on-chain, the network and the standards become more valuable to the current participants and the ones considering joining the transactional standard. Excited about seeing more of these coming up and having Chainlink power the next stage of our industry's growth through mainstream institutional adoption. visa.com.sg/content/dam/VC…

@PatrickAlphaC Hey @PatrickAlphaC , do you have any content on erc-6900 would be great to get your security take on account abstraction for dapp builders

If you have a hardware wallet and interact in DeFi. Please watch this. You are susceptible being attacked at any time by a website being compromised.

Chainlink correctly reported a price spike of an asset. The issue here was a low liquidity token - DeFi security 101. What is being advocated here as the "solution", is for oracles to have say in what the price of an asset is - also known as "market manipulation". Do not use an "intelligent" oracle that is being advocated for here that chooses to sometimes report a price that is not accurate. That could and should be marked as a security vulnerability.

@RepJasonSmith @RepRichardNeal A follow-up to this on how we could create a Federal Reporting and Promulgation Standard for Sales Tax open.substack.com/pub/tgether/p/…

@RepJasonSmith @RepRichardNeal I just wrote a longer form, less complainy, take on this tgether.substack.com/p/the-case-for… Please reach out! Would love to talk more about how we can build this out.

Hey @RepJasonSmith @RepRichardNeal — can we create a public API for sales tax? Small businesses face 12k+ local rules and are forced to pay monopolies just to comply. If states want the revenue, they should help cover the cost to publish the logic. #TaxTech #SmallBiz

CCIP on Solana is coming 🤝

The Stablecoin debate in DC is fascinating it’s made a lot of officials learn about oracles. When you ask “how do we check billions in reserves in real time?”, you quickly find yourself discussing Chainlink.

The internet won't be free until users pay to store their data decentrally. He who owns the data owns the farm, and users are serfs to any platform they give their attention to.

Why tokenize? Current financial systems take 1-2 days settling ownership, moving assets to blockchain based ledgers and connecting them via @chainlink CCIP creates a cryptographic guarantee of asset settlement cross ledger. No more waiting, Chainlink is the standard.

Why would anyone deploy an app and limit their user base and data input to one chain? The future of web3 is cross chain, and $LINK is the industry standard for unlocking the internet of contracts for the decentralized web🚀

Happy Thanksgiving frens, grateful for family and all the $LINK marines out there

@santiagoroel How do you invision the pricing model for pay as you go in crypto? I’m most concerned with constant transaction signing leading to the same kind of payment fatigue we’ve seen with tipping iPads

Subscription plans will be reinvented with stablecoins and smart contracts (= programmable money). No reason why you couldn’t bill and pay as you go (real time streaming) vs. monthly/annual billing. You’d think the customer wins the most here because they aren’t locked in, but the business also wins here because they get paid in real time (working capital improves). Not to mention the business can capture more revenue from customers they’d be able to serve with more flexible pricing models. I suspect most businesses will be reluctant to give up on “locked in” annual contracts because they will think churn will go up. That may be the case for the companies whose product sucks. I still can’t cancel my NYT and WSJ subscriptions. It’s impossible. However, I would be open to paying per article if they made it super easy to connect my wallet and pay a per page/article/daily fee. It’s missed revenue for them. Eventually they’ll adapt or perish.
