ChainLink recently expressed that they were thrilled about their acquisition of DECO, enabling Chainlink to provide for more of high quality data on-chain, by combining ZKProofs with HTTPS/TLS to prove where data came from, and even verify the data itself, while maintaining privacy.
Of note, DECO is an improvement on how to utilize HTTPS/TLS for data transmission across the internet, developed by Dr. Ari Juels, the former Chief Scientist of RSA, one of the world’s largest security companies.
Sergey Nazarov, Co-founder of Chainlink stated, “DECO’s ability to provide previously unavailable data security when transferring data over the internet, will greatly increase the private and premium data that becomes available for use by all Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 applications.”
ChainLink Official Channel tweeted: “We’re excited to announce that @arijuels, Chainlink technical advisor, co-director of @initc3org and the former Chief Scientist of RSA, is now joining Chainlink Labs as its Chief Scientist, overseeing extensive research on smart contracts, oracles and more.”
Further, Privacy-enabled decentralized cloud @OasisLabs were integrating with Chainlink as their preferred oracle provider to power DeFi dApps triggered by reliable, tamperproof off-chain data. The initial focus was on integrating Chainlink’s widely used Price Reference Data.
Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert tweeted: “ChainLink (Link) are continuing with their mission of building an economically fair world for everyone, thus contributing to economic fairness, transparency and efficiency.”
ChainLink Labs continue to focus on user needs to bring in the best in the next generation of smart contracts. ChainLink are beyond vague brand promises, they are about bringing real value, which has been created by individuals and institutions. They firmly believe in that contracts that are powered by the oracle and are universally connected to be the dominant form of digital agreement. They continue to provide superior and globally accessible contract systems for all. Best of all, they ensure persistence and consistency.
ChainLink Labs are hiring for a list of open roles.
SmartCon has been progressing well. There has been a lot of discussions on the future of DeFi, oracles and how to build the universally connected smart contracts that are revolutionizing how all financial contracts work.
The biggest names in the DeFi industry were a part of the Smartcon discussing smart contracts, technical talks, project updates, discussion panels, AMAs and more. Those who were the part of the largest smart contract event in the year are taking with them overwhelming loads in knowledge.
