Another update on the Chainlink Rewards Season 1 application that uses AI to allocate $LINK Cubes across Season 1 projects to maximize token rewards: With less than a week left for cube allocations, $FOLKS Finance, $Suku, Space and Time $SXT, and $Brickken continue to give stakers the highest return at current cube allocations with a Value per Cube of $0.000655 (FOLKS), $0.000522 (Suku), $0.000454 (SXT), and $0.000402 (Brickken).

Update on the Chainlink Rewards Season 1 application that uses AI to help allocate $link Cubes across Season 1 projects to maximize token rewards: Looks like FOLKS and Suku give stakers the highest return at current cube allocations with a Value per Cube of $0.000759. Currently running the application locally, but will publish it soon.

I built an optimizer for Chainlink Rewards Season 1 that uses AI to help you allocate $link Cubes across Season 1 projects to maximize your token rewards.

We're excited to announce that Chainlink and the United States Department of Commerce (@CommerceGov) have worked together to bring U.S. government macroeconomic data onchain. blog.chain.link/united-state… These new Chainlink Data Feeds securely deliver critical information around key U.S. economy metrics onchain, sourced from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (@BEA_News). Metrics include the Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, and Real Final Sales to Private Domestic Purchasers. Bringing key U.S. government data onchain unlocks innovative use cases for blockchain markets, including: • Automated trading strategies • Increased composability of tokenized assets • Issuance of new types of digital assets • Real-time prediction markets for crowdsourced intelligence • Transparent dashboards powered by immutable data • DeFi protocol risk management based on macroeconomic factors These datasets are updated monthly or quarterly as applicable, and are initially being made available across ten blockchain ecosystems, starting with Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, Botanix, Ethereum, Linea, Mantle, Optimism, Sonic, and ZKsync. Support for additional blockchain networks can be incorporated over time based on user demand. This development builds upon Chainlink’s accelerated work with the U.S. government in 2025, including meeting with several key officials and regulators to make policy recommendations that are advancing the growth of the blockchain industry.

We're excited to announce the launch of the Chainlink Reserve, a new upgrade centered on the creation of a strategic onchain reserve of LINK tokens. blog.chain.link/chainlink-re… The Chainlink Reserve is designed to support the long-term growth and sustainability of the Chainlink Network by accumulating LINK tokens using offchain revenue from large enterprises that are adopting the Chainlink standard and from onchain service usage. The Chainlink Reserve is being built up by using Payment Abstraction to convert offchain and onchain revenue into LINK, using a combination of Chainlink services and decentralized exchange infrastructure. Demand for Chainlink has already created hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, substantially from large enterprises that have paid offchain for access to the Chainlink Platform. With increasing demand from a number of the world’s largest banking and capital markets institutions, this form of paying for the Chainlink standard is expected to grow into the future as the industry grows. The Reserve has already accumulated over $1M worth of LINK from this early stage launch phase, which is expected to gradually grow in the coming months as more revenue is converted into LINK and placed into the Reserve. We do not expect any withdrawals from the Reserve for multiple years and thus it is expected to grow over time. We believe that as the industry demand for Chainlink’s unique capabilities increases, that adoption of Chainlink services will enable the Reserve to grow further. 🧵👇

TODAY: The White House has featured oracles as a key technology in its new Digital Asset Report, highlighting how Chainlink is critical infrastructure for powering stablecoins, tokenized funds, & the onchain economy. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up… We and our entire industry are immensely grateful to President Trump (@realDonaldTrump), @SecScottBessent, @DavidSacks, @BoHines, and the President‘s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets for their leadership in advancing bipartisan digital asset innovation in the United States. The Trump Administration's thoughtful approach to our industry’s adoption and growth has created a new era for both our industry and the United States financial future. The @WhiteHouse report outlines the U.S. government’s approach to digital assets, proposing a clear regulatory framework for their issuance by addressing market structure, oversight, and consumer protection. This landmark policy initiative underscores a growing global consensus that oracle infrastructure is critical for secure, interoperable, and compliance-ready digital assets, which are key for the blockchain industry to reach its full potential. In addition to the Chainlink team’s many ongoing meetings in D.C., this report clearly affirms the significant policy momentum Chainlink has strategically worked to support for years, both in D.C. and globally. In a single platform, Chainlink enables governments, financial institutions, and Web3 developers to overcome the three most critical challenges in deploying institutional-grade blockchain applications in a regulated environment: 1. Delivering verifiable data onchain enables the creation of hyper-reliable government and institutional-grade blockchain applications by ensuring the accuracy, integrity, and transparency of critical data. 2. Connecting public chains, private chains, and legacy systems into a unified network unlocks next-generation financial markets and streamlines digital asset operations. 3. Enabling regulatory requirements and policy controls to be embedded directly into smart contracts allows for programmatic compliance with regulations, such as KYC/AML, jurisdictional restrictions, and transaction limits, all while preserving user privacy. By establishing the foundational standards needed for secure and compliant digital asset infrastructure, Chainlink is accelerating digital asset adoption in America and powering the future of U.S. financial leadership.

🚨NEW: The CLARITY Act just passed the House in a vote of 294-134 with 78 Democrats voting in favor — more than double the ~35 expected, and more than the 71 who voted to pass FIT21 last year. This is a really big win for crypto. Now, onto GENIUS.
