@mac_eth Is it not possible to implement staking and provide stakers with a set percentage of fees from using the platform?

[⬡ LoadCubesies.$LINK ⬡ @ChainlinkLoad]

🚨 Day 3 of asking @Chainlink to implement onchain guarantees with ZKPs + PoR to cryptographically tie revenue to $LINK buybacks via Reserve deposits. 🚨

Transparent enforcement beats opaque discretion every time!

Let’s use CL’s own tech to validate their Reserve deposits!

1/ Privacy-preserving credentials can prove you're over 18, but not much else.

New IC3 research changes that.

𝜋Creds introduces verifiable credentials generated by trusted LLM inference over authenticated data.

[George Gorzhiyev @ygorz01]

Very messy but I was able to do it. @PalantirTech and @ethereum can interact with each other via @chainlink CRE. Made a recording of passing values from Palantir 2 Evm and then Evm 2 Palantir. Forgive my recording quality/voice.

@mac_eth Just was wondering if it may increase visual appeal if on the first example photo, change the blue out to a brighter yellow. Keep the same design just with a color swap

[⬡ A.S.2 ⬡ @BUIDLONLY]

oh so your telling me you cant just make up stuff on chain and get people to pay for it by making them think that you actually hold the stock? $link services are going to be made mandatory soon.

jane street allegedly ran a private telegram group called "bryce's secret" with a terraform labs intern, exited $192m in UST at par hours before the depeg on may 7 2022, then made $134m shorting UST and LUNA into the death spiral. $40b ecosystem wiped out.

no quant model in the world times a $192m stablecoin exit to the hour without knowing the withdrawal queue. the position sizing on those shorts alone tells you the confidence level. you don't put that much capital into a directional bet on an algo stablecoin collapsing unless you know exactly when the music stops.

if prosecutors prove the telegram group contained non-public withdrawal data, this becomes the first real test of whether TradFi insider trading standards apply to crypto. jane street operates under FINRA and SEC oversight in every other market. the outcome here determines whether information arbitrage at this scale stays consequence-free or not.

[Sergey Nazarov @SergeyNazarov]

Three key trends I am increasingly excited about...

1: Our industry has started caring much more about the security and reliability of the infrastructure, standards and oracles/dependencies that it is built on top of. This shift in focus towards security is already massively benefiting Chainlink because it is built with security and reliability in mind from the start e.g. 16 nodes vs 1 of 1 or 2 of 2 (which is actually often just a 1 of 1 in disguise). This focus on reliability and security makes a better system for everyone in the DeFi/TradFi industry to transact with less risk and also leads to more overall Chainlink adoption over time. The way Chainlink became the leading data oracle is through security and reliability, I think that will happen across all categories where Chainlink deploys services for the same reasons.

We are now clearly seeing this dynamic take place in cross-chain interoperability, with many large users migrating onto CCIP after conducting deeper security reviews of bridging providers, more and more of which are now being published, some telling quotes below:

https://t.co/7ANpmqIlPn
Kraken chose Chainlink CCIP because it offers enterprise-grade infrastructure with strict security & risk management requirements, including:

• ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications
• Secure by default architecture
• 16 independent nodes
• Native rate limits, and more.

https://t.co/hPnqT7CFcT and https://t.co/QHXnyjO2fp
The analysis covers how Chainlink CCIP delivers strong decentralization, native safeguards, and issuer control as default protocol-level guarantees, which insulates wstETH from a number of attack vectors behind the Kelp / LayerZero exploit.

https://t.co/AObyg1Nunx
Chainlink CCIP has emerged as the standard in cross-chain infrastructure, providing an enterprise-grade framework to secure high-value assets

With over $4Billion migrated in just a few weeks and more on the way, I am clearly seeing the industry's clear preference for security and reliability being a key trend leading to accelerated adoption of Chainlink and CCIP.

2: Chainlink has always continued to build and added many of its best features during down markets, when there is less noise to distract top teams from building. Because Chainlink already has clear product market fit, being able to focus on building the future is a powerful accelerant for future progress and is actually what I and many of the people building Chainlink are here for.

I am very excited about both the use case specific features e.g. collateral management and the increasing number of reusable primitives e.g. verifiable confidential compute in CRE, which are now actively being built, refined and launched with top users. In my experience, during the down market lulls is when the best things get built, and I am truly thrilled to see Chainlink being built to better serve its existing users and entirely new users.

3: The RWA, TradFi Tokenization and Digital Assets industry has now decoupled from crypto prices as a determining factor of its success and is a rapidly growing market of its own. Great news for the technologies, standards and infrastructures that can serve this new and growing demand, of which Chainlink is at the very top of the list. By having the relevant certifications; https://t.co/PlGDKLrJDi, being the historically most secure/reliable option with the largest amount of value enabled and being able to compose multiple key primitives (Data + Interoperability + Identity/compliance + verifiable off-chain orchestration) into full end-to-end solutions like no other platform can, puts the Chainlink platform/ecosystem in a unique place to be adopted by this new and growing market.

This is now becoming increasingly clear in practice through Chainlink's adoption in various parts of the capital markets; from collateral management with some of the most recent examples being...

DTCC using CRE and Data for their production plans; https://t.co/IiXXFfUwJu + https://t.co/sHe6QvquYR

Data providers like SGX using DataLink for key data; https://t.co/P7uPeOzliY

Top asset managers like State Street; https://t.co/Jh08KBnCvN and Fidelity International; https://t.co/06noNUEbEt, being powered by Chainlink on the backend.

The above are just a small number of recent examples, with many more being worked on all across the TradFi ecosystem, from payments, to tokenized equities, to tokenized funds; all of these on-chain finance use cases need multiple Chainlink components working together.

I can't wait for the next stage, where the leading DeFi applications and the top TradFi institutions start interoperating through their use of shared on-chain standards, interoperability connections and data/identity oracles, all of which are being provided by Chainlink, together with existing infrastructures. Solving each of these market's individual problems is already exciting, but helping them merge into the new global financial system is something that I and many others in our ecosystem have been working towards for a while.

If the above sounds like something worth spending many late nights on, and you can see the future I am talking about, this is the best time to join a top team like Chainlink Labs... if you're the best of the best, excited about the future of the blockchain industry, DeFi, TradFi and building the future of the new global financial system, we are excited to work together with you: https://t.co/zhTgEzBUm0.

Ecuador contracted its first parametric insurance for climate-vulnerable farmers in February 2026 — covering 2,511 smallholder rice and maize producers across Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí, and Loja provinces.

44% of those insured are women. 15% are young people under 29. Ecuador's Agriculture Minister said these policies 'align with our commitment to provide farmers with tools that safeguard livelihoods.'

Etherisc's Kenyan crop insurance programme proves this exact model runs efficiently on blockchain — and can scale from 2,511 to 2.5 million.

@MCIVick @thisisformadden @WifiMoneyPlant @atlanticesque There you have it. Please say this louder and on public facing media frequently.

[DTCC @The_DTCC]

Today we announced progress toward our goal of advancing 24/7 collateral mobility. DTCC’s Collateral AppChain, a shared infrastructure platform for collateral, will leverage the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) and @chainlink data standard to enable near real-time collateral management across financial markets and blockchains.

The integration will enable the seamless pairing of asset prices, valuations, and movement, with the aim of overhauling how market risk is managed globally and unlock greater capital efficiency.

This milestone reflects our broader vision to enable 24/7, near real-time collateral management across the global financial system.

lazarus group didn't exploit a smart contract. they social engineered a DVN operator in kelp's layerzero config and minted unbacked rsETH straight into aave. $3b in TVL migrated to chainlink CCIP in 2 weeks. layerzero message volume down 40% week over week. 14 protocols paused simultaneously. the exploit class here is new. no audit catches infrastructure misconfiguration. every RWA issuer watching this just defaulted to CCIP because when blackrock is your LP you don't optimize for bridge fees. LINK securing $110b+ now, up from $80b pre-exploit. layerzero keeps the meme coin bridges. CCIP gets the tokenized treasuries. market just bifurcated and it's not going back.

@Fullmetal150 @Sarah2Dicks @WurzelRoot Run me the numbers on the new approvals for the following visas

[gg @usrrst]

@Fullmetal150 @Sarah2Dicks @WurzelRoot Yep that’s real

[gg @usrrst]

@Fullmetal150 @Sarah2Dicks @WurzelRoot Factually incorrect, and H1B here was used as a code word for the dozens of other visa types that allow the equivalent to happen

[gg @usrrst]

@Fullmetal150 @Sarah2Dicks @WurzelRoot Yes BRICS is inflating our money away and doing nothing about the H1Bs invading American small towns
