CCIP is clearly the key to RWA tokenization at scale.
While this usually refers to capital markets, the
@VodafoneGroup
announcement today provides a hint to the larger vision of CCIP in global trade.
The potential is insane:
You might've heard the term "verifiable web" across
@chainlink
content recently.
The vision outlined by Sergey is clean and logical—this term will likely replace "Web3" in the future because it perfectly encapsulates not only what Web3 today is about, but also what it will be
The value of cross-chain protocols will far exceed any individual blockchain or application.
.
@chainlink
CCIP is the only cross-chain protocol with level-5 security, making it the only cross-chain solution that can be used at scale.
Let’s break that down:
Where
@chainlink
is today and where it was 3 years ago is completely different.
Before, Chainlink was an oracle, and it offered the industry unparalleled data quality and security.
Now it’s onboarding institutions and solving misinformation. What the hell happened?
It grew,
Coinbase will likely be the largest crypto onboarding platform
Chainlink will likely be the largest dApp platform infrastructure
Bitcoin will likely be the largest digital store of value
Ethereum will likely be the largest digital-native currency
just my endgame thoughts
The biggest use case for blockchains by far is cash tokens, whether decentralized, centralized, or whatever.
What actually matters is ubiquitous adoption and a unified payment layer, which
@chainlink
CCIP unlocks across blockchains.
This is the single, most important use case
Use any blockchain you want, we don’t care.

is not the economic center. It will never be that. It’s just the oil, the pipes, the roads, the planes, the trains of this new economy.

@Chainlink
is needed to build the golden record because Chainlink verifies the goldenness of the record before it is put onchain
Then that goldenness verification must be transferred anywhere it’s needed

For the
@chainlink
folks -- My thesis on Web3 gaming is pretty simple:
Counterstrike and MMORPGs proved that in-game items/skins can hold value over time.
This strictly benefits players by potentially returning value to them (key point: I don't think there should be an
One way of thinking of Chainlink is that it is simply the most reliable and manipulation-resistant way for data to get from point A to point B

Sergey always calls it GameFi, and that’s mostly cause Chainlink will power the onchain assets 😉
The synergy between IoT devices and Web3 is unparalleled and, admittedly, a little scary.

If you're curious how

is involved in Web3 gaming, BUILD is one of the best ways.
Highly recommend reading this thread.
Each game got two-sentence writeup. Let's see what hooks you.
I think
@chainlink
for institutions will effectively be like Verifone.
It’s in every supermarket—target, Costco, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, etc. it’s universally adopted by big retailers.
Scalable, reliable, secure, boring.
That’s what infrastructure should be.

@WemixNetwork
is going places.
I'd honestly recommend Night Crows to anyone who doesn't game because there's auto gameplay.
If you're not much of a gamer but want to experience Web3 gaming, there's no better choice.

Banks don't want to choose chains
They'll have to, but they're terrified of vendor lock-in and the infrastructural costs of committing to a chain.
If only there was a way to use their own security and private key infrastructure to send messages and manage assets onchain...
The fact that the majority of cross-chain bridges that got hacked in 2022 didn't have rate limits blows my mind
such a simple and effective tool -- how could you not have it?
Btw, get this: Every single bridge hack where tens-hundreds of millions of dollars are stolen in minutes to hours could’ve been DRASTICALLY mitigated with the simple implementation of rate limits 🤦♂️🤡
