Glad to see all the hard work that Chainlink has put into generating real security is being recognized as valuable by more and more teams in our industry. It seems that focusing on making the secure and reliable solution is what wins in an industry where securing value is a key feature of everyone's product.
We have seen the trend of low quality data oracles with poor security being switched out for Chainlink for many years now, with that trend continuing on a regular basis; https://t.co/LOcbYNfqnz
We are also now seeing the same dynamic in cross-chain connectivity/bridging, where providing security with actual decentralization, actual monitoring and actual private key security is increasingly valuable to both protocol teams and the users of their products.
It is much easier and often faster to cut corners and run a single node and call it a decentralized bridge, have no monitoring on those bridges and keep the extra profits from cutting these key security and reliability features, but that comes at the expense of your users systems going down e.g. due to one AWS zone outage, or your bridges getting hacked with one set of admin keys.
Chainlink's thesis as a technology, standard and community is to not cut these corners, but do what we can to raise the standards of our industry and provide reliable on-chain data, reliable cross-chain interoperability and now reliable off-chain to on-chain orchestration across all smart contracts on all chains.
After an extensive security review, leading reinsurance protocol @re ($475M+ TVL) is decommissioning its legacy bridging solution & migrating to Chainlink CCIP.
As Re’s exclusive cross-chain infra, CCIP is unlocking secure reUSD distribution across all chains.
DeFi will win.
FIVE TAKES. AT LEAST ONE WILL MAKE YOU ANGRY.
1. LINK is more important to crypto infrastructure than Ethereum
2. RWA will flip DeFi in total value by 2028
3. 90% of L1s alive today won't exist in 5 years
4. Stablecoins are the real crypto killer app, not Bitcoin
5. The next $100B token is already live and most people are ignoring it
Tell me which number you disagree with most. And why?
RESERVE UPDATE
The Chainlink Reserve just accumulated 131,656.26 LINK ($1.1M+).
Total holdings: 3,064,151.83 LINK.
As of today, the Reserve is now a top-35 LINK holder.
Gold (XAU) and Silver (XAG) are now tradable 24/7 on @GMX_IO, fully powered by Chainlink.
High-speed data from Chainlink Data Streams is unlocking GMX's rapid expansion into 24/7 RWA perp markets.
LINK gold. LINK silver. LINK everything.
Yep, $LINK is the ticker for Chainlink—the decentralized oracle network that securely feeds real-world data (like prices, reserves, and events) to smart contracts on 40+ blockchains via its data feeds and CCIP. That's exactly why it's used for on-chain Proof of Reserve, giving transparent collateral checks for stablecoins and RWAs without needing FDIC-style insurance.
RESERVE UPDATE
Today, the Chainlink Reserve has accumulated 125,454.48 LINK.
The Chainlink Reserve now holds a total of 1,899,670.39 LINK.

The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK using offchain revenue from large enterprises adopting Chainlink and onchain revenue from service usage.
