The Power of Smart Contracts: What They Are and How They Can Revolutionize the Future

Smart contracts promise a powerful new way of doing business. Similar to how the Internet revolutionized the way people process information and connect with one another, smart contracts can fundamentally change the way societies make and keep agreements among individuals and groups.

Chainlink: Connected Consensus on Ethereum

We are excited to release Chainlink on Ethereum mainnet. To paint the full picture of what Chainlink’s launch means for the larger ecosystem, we examine the "smart contract connectivity problem" and share how Chainlink is solving this limitation of smart contracts with external data.

Threshold Signatures in Chainlink

Threshold signatures offer a concise, cheap way to verify consensus over very large groups, and we plan to use them to scale Chainlink's security independent of Ethereum's throughput. In this post, we review how they work, describe a new Schnorr-like signature, and introduce our implementation.

Oracles: The Key to Unlocking Smart Contracts

An oracle is a blockchain middleware that creates a secure connection between smart contracts and various off-chain resources. In order for smart contracts to gain mass adoption, they need secure and reliable oracles to connect to external off-chain data and systems.
