Another great post from @joechalom and @Sharplink. It is great to see Joseph highlight the remarkable milestone of 1 million lifetime developers that have built or build on Ethereum.
Joseph also touches on some key factors that will lead to the many L2s, and private permissioned Besu Ethereum chains becoming fully composable with each other and L1: credible neutrality, modularity, culture and composability. He sketches the synchronous and near-synchronous composability work that the @Linea team is doing and others including @Zisk and @gnosis_ are doing similar work. Atomic bridgeless execution zones and real-time unification of liquidity fragments will be the benefits and a unified extended Ethereum ecosystem will be the major result. ETH will be resident on all of these networks and used to pay fees for inclusion in multi-network activity to synchronizers who aggregate ZK proofs from the various networks. Ethereum is growing into an increasingly globally systemically important infrastructure, and ETH is about to also become globally systemically important as it will be the fuel and currency that powers transactions, storage, staking and many other functions on the world's main global digital asset processing and settlement layer.
Amusingly, I found this my DevCon5 Osaka keynote entitled "When 1 Million Eth Devs?" We got there. And the keynote does a pretty decent job of sketching how Ethereum will become systemically infrastructure, from way back in 2019.

This is what real adoption looks like. 2026 is the year that massive TradFi liquidity flows onto Linea and Ethereum. Institutional capital is choosing Ethereum native yield in production, not theory.

BNB Chain (@BNBCHAIN), one of the world’s largest blockchain ecosystems, backed by an active, global community of developers and users, has adopted the @chainlink data standard to make official U.S. Department of Commerce data available onchain.
Sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Chainlink Price Feeds deliver key government macroeconomic data points such as GDP, the PCE Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers directly to BNB Chain.
Developers can now leverage this data to unlock innovative use cases, including:
• Issuance of new types of digital assets
• Prediction markets leveraging transparent macroeconomic inputs
��� Perpetual futures markets benchmarked to official government data
• DeFi protocol risk management aligned with real-world economic conditions
Powered by the Chainlink data standard, BNB Chain is enabling its ecosystem to build next-generation onchain applications grounded in trusted U.S. government economic indicators.
We’re excited to announce that the first EU-regulated onchain exchange for tokenized securities, 21X (@tradeon21x), has adopted the Chainlink data standard.
https://t.co/WXdhe6KJoj
Live-in-production and powered by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), Chainlink enables verifiable post-trade data, including last traded prices and bid-ask offers for securities listed on the 21X platform to be accessed directly on the @0xPolygon blockchain in real-time.
This integration enables EU-regulated tokenized equities, debt securities, and funds to be used as collateral in lending protocols and traded in secondary markets, along with unlocking an array of other use cases across the onchain economy.
Black Manta Capital Partners’ USMO, a tokenized note backed by the UBS USD Money Market Fund, is the first security on 21X to have its data delivered onchain via Chainlink.
Max Heinzle, CEO of 21X states:
“The Chainlink standard enables 21X to securely and reliably bring real-time, verifiable market data for tokenized securities onchain. By integrating Chainlink into our regulated DLT trading venue, we’re delivering the transparency, auditability, and collateral utility that institutions require to move onchain—while remaining fully compliant under BaFin supervision. Adopting Chainlink is a foundational step in bridging traditional capital markets with the blockchain economy.”
Looking ahead, 21X is expanding the integration with Chainlink to include pre-trade data, deeper analytics, and additional asset classes. Ultimately, this integration represents a major step towards building a more transparent, composable, and efficient financial system and opens the floodgates for institutional capital to flow onchain.
🦅 New Governance Proposal is live
We’re proposing that 100% of fees earned by WLFI’s protocol-owned liquidity (POL) be used for buyback & burn of $WLFI.
This means every trade = fewer tokens in circulation.

We're excited to announce that Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce (@CommerceGov) have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain.
https://t.co/Bea4iLirfZ
These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key U.S. economy metrics onchain, sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (@BEA_News).
Metrics include the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers.
Bringing key U.S. government data onchain unlocks innovative use cases for blockchain markets, including:
• Automated trading strategies
• Increased composability of tokenized assets
• Issuance of new types of digital assets
• Real-time prediction markets for crowdsourced intelligence
• Transparent dashboards powered by immutable data
• DeFi protocol risk management based on macroeconomic factors
These datasets are updated monthly or quarterly as applicable, and are initially being made available across ten blockchain ecosystems, starting with Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Support for additional blockchain networks can be incorporated over time based on user demand.
This development builds upon Chainlink’s accelerated work with the U.S. government in 2025, including meeting with several key officials and regulators to make policy recommendations that are advancing the growth of the blockchain industry.
We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between Chainlink and SBI Group one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates with the USD equivalent of over $200 billion in total assets.
https://t.co/eZFGt8ysDK
SBI Group and Chainlink will focus on powering several innovative use cases centered around tokenized funds, tokenized real-world assets such as real estate and bonds, regulated stablecoins, and more.
SBI Group and Japanese financial services companies will leverage Chainlink services, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), SmartData (NAV), and Proof of Reserve to unlock secondary market liquidity and enhance the operational efficiency of tokenized assets while seamlessly fulfilling compliance and privacy requirements.
Yoshitaka Kitao, Representative Director, Chairman, President & CEO of SBI Holdings, stated:
“Chainlink is a natural partner for SBI complementing our financial footprint with their market leading interoperability and reliability onchain. With our combined strengths, we are delighted to be working together on developing groundbreaking, secure, compliance-focused solutions, including powering compliant cross-border transactions using stablecoins, that accelerate the widespread adoption of digital assets in Japan and the region.”
Chainlink, UBS Asset Management, and SBI Digital Markets previously completed a solution for automated fund administration and transfer agency using smart contracts under the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) Project Guardian.
We’re excited to share that Chainlink is now the industry’s first data and interoperability oracle platform to achieve ISO 27001 & SOC 2 compliance.
This is a major step toward unlocking in-production use cases with the world’s largest financial institutions & governments.
https://t.co/yjBEDok5re
ISO 27001 certification and SOC 2 attestation thoroughly validate that multiple Chainlink oracle services meet rigorous security, availability, and confidentiality standards.
Officially certified services include CCIP, Price Feeds, and SmartData (Proof of Reserve & Net Asset Value).
The establishment of secure standards across data, cross-chain interoperability, and beyond is critical to unlocking the next wave of onchain finance, where tens of trillions in real-world assets are tokenized onchain and seamlessly transacted by the world’s leading financial institutions.
We're working on making every asset on @base available on Coinbase. Then @solana, then even more networks.
Going live on Thursday on X to talk about how our DEX integration is making this happen, at 10:15AM PT.
Today, @SergeyNazarov was featured on @Visa’s Tokenized podcast:
• Chainlink’s work with Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)

This year, Aerodrome's top $ETH pool has captured $10B more in volume compared to the top pool on @ethereum mainnet.
Aerodrome is the home of $ETH onchain.
The thing about $AERO is it’s not just a DEX...
It’s the liquidity anchor for Coinbase's L2 ecosystem
Here’s why that matters:
• Deep pools attract traders, more volume & rewards
• Liquidity attracts projects which attract users & even more liquidity
• Native Coinbase onramping funnel fresh capital straight into AERO pools
• Some of the highest reward and revenue stats across all of DeFi
I've said it before, but I'll say it again...
Betting on AERO is like betting on the success of Base being a liquid successful L2.
I wouldn't wanna bet against Coinbase😉
