So now that the word is officially out, what exactly is #Chainlink Functions, how did it come about, and why is it so powerful? I'll try break it down so that even non developers can understand π§΅.
Tomorrow, we'll go behind the scenes of Chainlink Functions on the latest #Chainlinked Twitter Spaces. Find out:. -Why Functions was created.-Key features for builders.-New use case possibilities. Set a reminder β° β¬οΈ.

Why use #Chainlink CCIP when there's multiple other cross-chain protocols? It's quite simple really:. - Only solution with 5 levels of cross-chain security β
.- Hasn't been exploited for $100s of millionsβ
.- Conflict of interest free infrastructure β
.- Actually decentralized

Last month, we taught #Solidity, Ethereum and #Chainlink development to over 1000 devs in our first coding bootcamp. Developers are now able to access the content on-demand, with more events planned for the future, including community-run bootcamps in other languages!.
The first Smart Contract Developer Bootcamp gave devs worldwide an intro to smart contracts & how to connect #dApps to secure off-chain services with #Chainlink. Access the bootcamp on-demand today to replay sessions or start your journey at your own pace.

Responding here with my thoughts on tokenized RWAs and the oracle problem:. Blockchains and smart contracts are an isolated black box, so DeFi works great because the only thing you need from the outside world is some price data as an input, but everything else (the assets,
I feel increasingly skeptical of RWA Web3 systems, for one fundamental reason: The Oracle problem. Let's take a step back. Why has DeFi, and (crypto) currencies worked so well? Because they are applications purely representable in digital form.

I remember the months leading up to the #Chainlink mainnet go-live back in early 2019, looking for livestreams of Sergey talks to see if any news would drop, and everyone constantly searching the GitHub and Pivotal Tracker for breadcrumbs. Then mainnet finally hit, DeFi summer.
5 years ago today, #Chainlink launched on mainnet. From powering DeFi to working with the largest financial institutions across the globe, Chainlink has become the standard for connecting data and value onchain. But this is only the beginning.

Like clockwork, we have another DeFi oracle exploit. At this stage its becoming laughable! Any DeFi protocols relying on a single or small number of exchanges for price data are essentially giving exploiters keys to their house. Data quality & delivery is everything #chainlink.
#DeFi protocols should avoid using a single exchange or even just a few exchanges as their price source, regardless of whether it's an off-chain exchange that seems reliable and/or an on-chain DEX. Read more here: .or watch here:
