Chainlink Expands Grant Program to Support Social Impact Projects

We are excited to announce that we are expanding upon those initial objectives by launching a new category of grants focused on creating social impact through the usage of universally connected smart contracts. We are now accepting requests for proposals from talented startups, non-governmental organizations, and non-profits looking to build and apply universally connected smart contracts in a manner that improves the lives of everyday citizens and local communities around the world.

As a leader and pioneer in the blockchain space, we understand that our mission goes beyond building the most secure and reliable oracle network to support the smart contract ecosystem. We must also push the developers, projects, and organizations towards causes that apply universally connected smart contacts in an openly accessible and equitable manner.

The Problem With Brand-Based Contracts
Smart contracts, in the simplest terms, from a user's point of view, are math-based contractual agreements. I think the way to contrast them is to think about brand-based contractual agreements. This will highlight the notion and utility of something called "tamper-proofness," because a lot of the time, blockchains are explained in these technical parameters of tamper-proofness and reliability, and censorship-resistance and immutability, and these concepts don't always transfer over to use cases.

Chainlink Achieves Major Scalability Upgrade With Mainnet Launch of Off-Chain Reporting (OCR)

In addition to supplying more data on-chain through the launch of new oracle networks, OCR brings a variety of other notable enhancements to the Chainlink Network:

- Increased decentralization of oracle networks to generate additional accuracy, availability, and tamperproofness for Chainlink users.
- Higher frequency on-chain oracle updates to provide even more precise and up-to-date data to smart contract applications that may be more sensitive to small price movements.
- Cost-efficient onboarding of new nodes to further decentralize participation in oracle services run on the Chainlink Network.
- Reduced on-chain network congestion by lessening the load Chainlink oracle networks place on high-demand blockchain networks like Ethereum.
- Reduced oracle network latency to ensure data is rapidly provided to smart contracts even during blockchain network congestion and extreme market volatility.

NetObjex Integrates Chainlink Oracles To Power Its IoT-Based Automation Engine

NetObjex collects data from IoT edge devices, refines it, and stores it on our digital platform via smart contracts to facilitate transactions based on that data. We then use Chainlink to relay that data to the blockchain, which has already yielded several compelling results:

- Creating new data-driven smart contract applications
- Incentivizing travelers to be conscious consumers
- Helping crude oil buyers make informed procurement decisions

ICHI Leveraging Chainlink on Mainnet to Empower Community Created Stablecoins

ICHI would be just another boring stablecoin (a coin who value stays at $1) project without Chainlink. Like other stablecoins, it would suffer from one or more major drawbacks:

- Stable-ish, instead of being minted and redeemed for exactly $1.
- Maximalistic, instead of driving scarcity of other cryptocurrencies.
- Complex, instead of simple minting and redeeming processes.
- Custodial, instead of self-hosted, community governed infrastructure

Fuse Will Use Chainlink Proof of Reserve to Mint and Verify the Collateralization of FuseDollar (fUSD)

Our Chainlink Proof of Reserve integration will bring secure, reliable, and efficient minting and auditing of Fuse Network’s collateralized stable coin FuseDollar (fUSD), ensuring it is 100% backed by USD Coin (USDC) deposited in a dedicated Ethereum smart contract.

Fuse Network is developing into a strong and independent decentralized finance (DeFi) institution now with over 5 million total transactions and reaching an all-time high in total value locked (TVL) of $8.6 million. However, interoperability with the wider blockchain ecosystem remains a core part of our strategy. Part of doing so means leveraging the best innovations in the space to provide an optimal user experience.
