This deep dive explores the various smart contract use cases enabled by Chainlink VRF’s tamper-proof and verifiable RNG.

Chainlink oracle networks are natively blockchain agnostic, providing smart contracts across any blockchain direct access to external resources.

In his keynote at SmartCon #1, Chainlink Co-founder Sergey Nazarov outlined a grand vision for the transition to a world of cryptographic truth.

Learn the similarities, differences, and synergies between blockchains and oracles, including distinctions between cryptographic and definitive truth.

An overview of the explicit staking model from the Chainlink 2.0 Whitepaper, which will increase the cryptoeconomic security of Chainlink’s decentralized oracle networks.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) allow one party to cryptographically prove to another that they possess knowledge about a piece of information without revealing the actual data.

Read about the many blockchain-based sports applications possible through hybrid smart contracts and Chainlink oracles.

We examine the unique ways that the real estate industry is primed to be disrupted by blockchain technology and smart contracts.

Hybrid smart contracts combine code running on the blockchain (on-chain) with data and computation from outside the blockchain (off-chain) provided by Decentralized Oracle Networks. Hybrid smart contracts enable advanced forms of economic and social coordination that have the tamper-proof and immutable properties of blockchains yet leverage secure off-chain oracle services to attain new capabilities, such…

With DeFi continuing to lock in more value and NFTs capturing the public imagination, the global economic system is starting to reach a turning point where everyday people can finally participate in secure digital agreements in industries as wide ranging as finance, insurance, gaming, and art. Smart contracts, digital contracts underpinned by cryptographic guarantees, are…
