SmartCon 2025 was absolutely insane this year
We saw a massive tidal wave of new Chainlink product announcements and ecosystem integrations by some of the largest financial institutions and DeFi protocols
Met many based $LINK marines, new and old frens alike, the energy was palpable and contagious
Just a few highlights from the event ⬇️
• Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is now live, the all-in-one orchestration layer with launch partners Mastercard, UBS, Westpac, Inter, Central Bank of Brazil, Aave, Ondo, Google Cloud, Coinbase, AWS, and many more
•Chainlink Confidential Compute was introduced, bringing private smart contracts on any blockchain, unlocking previously impossible onchain use cases for institutions
• Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) partner ecosystem brought together 20+ leading compliance providers, frameworks, & regulators (Aave, ANZ, ERC-3643, Fidelity International, GLIEF, Hamilton Lane, Ethereum Foundation, Widom Tree, Cardano, and more)
• UBS completed the world’s first in-production, end-to-end tokenized fund workflow leveraging the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard
• FTSE Russell collaborated with Chainlink to publish its world-leading global indices onchain for the first time via DataLink
• Tradeweb collaborated with Chainlink to publish its U.S. Treasury data onchain for the first time via DataLink
• WisdomTree collaborated with Chainlink to bring institutional-grade NAV data onchain for its tokenized fund
• S&P Dow Jones Indices and Dinari selected Chainlink as the official oracle provider for the S&P Digital Markets 50 Index
• SBI Digital Markets (SBIDM) is adopting Chainlink as its exclusive infrastructure solution to power its digital assets platform

Every cycle has its cynics.
In the late 1990s, critics called Amazon a glorified bookstore that would never turn a profit. During Tesla’s Model 3 ramp, mainstream analysts wrote that the company was “weeks from bankruptcy.” Netflix was mocked for “burning cash to stream reruns.”
The pattern is older than crypto itself: when a company or protocol spends years building infrastructure instead of chasing short-term hype, it looks stagnant—right up until it doesn’t.
The reality is that @Chainlink’s quiet years mirror every great infrastructure revolution, only it's much larger! $Link
So far through Day 3 at @Sibos 2025, Chainlink has:
• Announced Phase 2 of the global corporate actions initiative with 24 of the world’s largest institutions, including Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear.
• Introduced the Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard to enable fund administrators to expand their operations onchain.
• Announced a landmark technical solution leveraging CRE and Swift messaging in collaboration with UBS.
• Partnered with GLEIF to establish a new institutional-grade identity solution for the blockchain industry.
• Launched DataLink, enabling institutions to seamlessly publish data onchain.
• Formed a strategic partnership with Deutsche Börse Market Data + Services to bring its market data onchain via DataLink.
And much more. Dive in: https://t.co/6E9a7ubeFr
If you are wondering how you can get started making games on Hytopia - this video is a good place to start!
It goes through the getting started guide in the dev docs and also some tips to make things a little easier for you. Link below 👇 👇👇
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.
The Chainlink Platform is evolving.

Shoutout to all experienced #roblox and #minecraft developers!
We're looking for experienced developers open to commissions to come build games!
Keep a % of your game's $ too!
You'd be be building games on the @hytopia platform. Reply or dm me if interested!
We are getting into uncharted territory. I do not know of another game engine that is as simple and accessible as the @hytopia engine/sdk is becoming - and we're only 3 months into building this beast.
Features like this would be a nightmare in most engines. HYTOPIA makes it simple using Javascript or Typescript, which is great since the most known programming language in the world is Javascript!
The @hytopia server implementation moving a lot faster than I originally anticipated.
We can now...
- Full block control, and ability to configure block states at runtime over the protocol..
- Full entity control, and ability to configure entity models and animation states at runtime over the protocol..
- Complete deterministic client/server newtonian physics simulation with constraints & clamps to fix the voxelized/low-poly nature of games built on HYTOPIA.
- A debug render client as seen in the pic, loading a model and some blocks. You can see some blocks with red & green dashed lines. That's a cool things we used to visualize the server vs the client physics simulation vertices in real time to debug synchronization & other things.
- Collision events, detection, a ton of other stuff.
Really enjoying building this so far.
Been working on the HYTOPIA engine/server architecture lately and really enjoying it.
Quick video of rendered vertices from the server physics simulation, drawing a chunk & using greedy meshing to reduce the total number of colliders.
Compound colliders up next.
We're looking for talented senior rust game developers to join our game development team at @hytopia!
If you or anyone you know would be interested in the position, please shoot me a dm!
Note: This is a game development (game engine) position, not rust smart contract development. Thanks!
