Nifty Royale Will Integrate Chainlink Keepers to Automate NFT-Based Battle Royale Games



Nifty Royale is delighted to announce our plan to integrate Chainlink Keepers to fully automate our NFT-based battle royale games in a decentralized and highly reliable manner. Chainlink Keepers is a decentralized service that calls smart contract functions when specific conditions are met. In the case of Nifty Royale, Chainlink Keepers will trigger the execution of elimination rounds after pre-defined periods of time.

We decided to outsource the management of this particular function to Chainlink Keepers because they are operated by the same nodes that service Chainlink Price Feeds, which currently secure tens of billions of dollars in value for leading blockchain projects. Knowing our battle royale games can be fully automated with the highest uptime guaarantees makes our platform more secure and frees up our development team to expand the value it provides to users.

PancakeHunny Integrates Chainlink Price Feeds to Protect Against Flash Loan Attacks



PancakeHunny sets out to tighten the security of protocols upon witnessing the growing amount of threats and exploitations amongst DeFi platforms and to prevent any potential flash loan attacks, we’re excited to announce that we are now securing hives using Chainlink Price Feeds — the industry standard for decentralized price oracles.

Our initial integration, now live on the BSC mainnet, involves the use of Chainlink Price Feeds for BNB/USD and CAKE/USD. Chainlink Price Feeds are the most widely used and time-tested oracle solution throughout the DeFi industry, collectively securing tens of billions of dollars in users' funds across the largest DeFi projects and blockchains. Most importantly, Chainlink Price Feeds are flash loan resistant because they provide financial market data in a decentralized manner that reflects the volume-weighted, market-wide price aggregated from across centralized and decentralized exchanges.

Shrub Receives Chainlink Grant to Bring Parametric Disaster Insurance to Uninsured Populations



When disaster strikes, an individual’s economic destiny can be permanently altered at a moment's notice. Catastrophic events like floods, earthquakes, landslides, droughts, and wildfires are increasing in frequency too as climate change continues to take effect. In 2020 alone, global losses from natural catastrophes totaled $210 billion dollars. Yet, many regions in the world still do not have access to insurance products—meaning hundreds of millions of people cannot protect their families or businesses from financial hardships due to natural disasters.

In support of more globally accessible and affordable insurance solutions, the Chainlink Community Grants Program is pleased to award a social impact grant to Shrub—a peer-to-peer parametric insurance marketplace on the blockchain based on an initial prototype developed at the Spring 2021 Chainlink Hackathon. Starting with earthquake and hurricane insurance, Shrub enables users from around the world to purchase or sell disaster coverage to hedge against unforeseen catastrophic events with nothing more than an Internet connection.

Kalata Integrates Chainlink Price Feeds to Power Synthetic Asset Trading



We are excited to announce that Kalata has deployed Chainlink Price Feeds on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as the default oracle solution for all markets in our synthetic asset trading protocol. With the high-quality, tamper-proof data brought on-chain by Chainlink’s decentralized oracles, Kalata Protocol can accurately price in real-time various synthetic assets like cryptocurrency, stocks, commodities, derivatives, and virtually any asset in the future that our ecosystem demands.

The initial integration includes the use of Chainlink Price Feeds to support the following synthetic assets, with more coming in the future: ARKK (ARK Innovation ETF), BIDU (Baidu), PACB (Pacific Biosciences of California), SPCE (Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc), and TSLA (Tesla). Integrating Chainlink’s time-tested oracles will strengthen the precision and robustness of Kalata’s synthetic asset trading platform, marking a major milestone towards our goal of making DeFi trading available to everyone and getting us closer to achieving one of our core missions — execute every trade with real-time price feeds.
