Chainlink Confidential AI Attester enables a whole range of applications, including a bunch in this recently released paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03771. (See below) As a judge at tomorrow's hackathon conclusion, I'm eager to see what other ideas the teams there dream up.

July 4th has been the target all year. Clarity is coming.

It's not up for debate anymore. Today's document find confirms Chainlink is the connector between 11,000 banks, SWIFT and every crypto network. Directly from the ICMA document today: "The SWIFT blockchain provides a single point of entry to multiple other distributed ledgers." "Routing of conventional SWIFT messages is orchestrated by the Chainlink Runtime Environment." "Communication between distributed ledgers is governed by Chainlink's CCIP." 11,000 banks. Every blockchain. No traditional infrastructure upgrade needed. Plug and play. This is not speculation. ethereum:0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca $XRP $HBAR $SOL $CC $QNT $XDC

One of these looks different from the others. 9 blockchains. 1 Chainlink.

JUST IN: Chainlink ranked #4 in Blockchain & Protocols on @FortuneMagazine’s Crypto 100 list. fortune.com/ranking/crypto/2…

🚨JUST IN: $2.7T Citigroup is launching TOKENIZED shares of PRIVATE companies. Citi says it is already in talks with some of the world’s largest private companies to issue tokenized depositary receipts. The rollout starts with foreign investors, with plans to make it available to U.S. investors later.

Question With time CCIP transfers/messaging will get more: - Public-Private - Private-Private Nowadays we track pub-pub in CCIP Explorer. Is technically feasible to track pub-priv or priv/priv ones? In short, we won't be able full to track CCIP adoption/revenue, right? $LINK

JUST IN: Chainlink ranked #4 in Fortune’s 2026 Crypto 100 Blockchains & Protocols. Not for hype. For infrastructure. Data. Cross-chain. Institutional adoption. The standard is becoming obvious. fortune.com/ranking/crypto/2…

1/ While CT argues over price, @chainlink is quietly stacking patents. Published today: "Computing System and Method With Threshold Encryption" The foundation of Confidential Compute. Private smart contracts are coming. $LINK 🧵👇

Honestly @Rabby_io, this is disgusting Before I even set up my wallet, you are sending my data to - your matomo instance - and just in case track me on Google Analytics - and to be really sure dump my data into Sentry I hereby kindly inform you that this is a breach of your Privacy Policy (yes, the one that you last looked at 5 years ago) and a gross violation of GDPR Articles 13 and 46. Please stop tracking me at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

Claude Fable outright refuses to do a smart contract audit. L model.

⚡️JUST IN: CHAINLINK SCORES A WORLD CUP DEAL PredictStreet, an official prediction market partner of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has selected Chainlink as its exclusive oracle provider. $LINK will power real-time market settlements and instant payouts across the platform.

There are countless Public blockchains and countless Private blockchains. And countless that don't exist yet. If you have any fundamental reasoning, the value isn't in the blockchains themselves. The value is in the Layer that Orchestrates Institutional-Grade Smart Contract Workflows with all the required Data, Interoperability between chains, Privacy, Compliance, and Connectivity to Legacy Systems, in a Fully Decentralized, Verifiably Tamper-Proof Runtime Environment, offering the same Security Guarantees at every single step of the workflow as the underlying blockchains themselves. The ultimate value is in FULLY solving The Oracle Problem. Everything the blockchain needs, but cannot do itself and with the same secuirty guarantees, is where the Oracle Problem began. That started with Real World Data. That's where most people's understanding of Chainlink stops. That doesn't even scratch the surface, and that's where the information asymmetry begins. Sowhat about everything else a blockchain needs, other than Real World Data? What about: - Interoperability between chains? - Privacy requirements? - Compliance requirements? - Connectivity to Legacy Systems like SWIFT and The DTCC? - Orchestration/abstraction of entire blockchain-based workflows? Chainlink has solved it all: - CCIP for Interoperability between chains - The Privacy Standard for private transactions between on ANY blockchains - The Automated Compliance Engine to enforce any compliance requirements - The Chainlink Runtime Environment to orchestrate everything on one, decentralized environment And the most elegant part of it all is the architecture. Chainlink managed to solve these problems in a fully decentralized way at the protocol level. That means: - No reliance on multiple different vendors for different parts of the workflow (e.g. one oracle for data, another interoperability solution for cross-chain, etc.) - No reliance on closed-source software, Firewalls, etc. Instead, Chainlink is fully Byzantine Fault Tolerant at the protocol level, with any extra security measures also built at the protocol level, e.g. the Risk Management Network in CCIP. - Truly trustless, maximum security, built for extremely high security institutional-grade workflows. The only thing that does the above is Chainlink. That's why The DTCC have integrated Chainlink as the orchestration layer for its Collateral AppChain. $LINK 👑

RT @The_DTCC: Today we announced progress toward our goal of advancing 24/7 collateral mobility. DTCC’s Collateral AppChain, a shared infra…

🔥 NEW: Chainlink will power the official FIFA World Cup prediction market partner, enabling instant payouts and market resolutions for billions of football fans worldwide.

It's happening exactly as I wrote about a few weeks ago. Risk curators are correctly applying a risk factor discount to more insecure assets. If your cross-chain asset isn't using Chainlink CCIP, it receives a risk haircut when it's utilized as collateral. If you want to keep cosplaying security with LayerZero, now it comes with a very real price.

NEW: The Official Prediction Market Partner of the @FIFAWorldCup is now powered by Chainlink. @Predictstreet has adopted Chainlink as its exclusive oracle infra to enable accurate market resolutions & unlock instant payouts for the world's largest sporting event with 6B fans.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning.

Global Layer One (GL1), a public-private collaboration involving regulators and financial institutions around the world defining the standards and infrastructure for regulated digital asset markets, is integrating the Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) to power the next generation of compliant digital asset transactions. fof2025.fio-network.com/fi-I… GL1 is developing the common standards, specifications, and toolkits needed to build open, interoperable shared ledger infrastructures for regulated digital assets, including tokenized deposits, securities, and stablecoins. Its Programmable Compliance (PC) Toolkit provides a framework for encoding and automating policy and regulatory requirements directly within digital assets and on-chain transactions. Together, Chainlink ACE and GL1’s PC framework are providing dynamic, policy-driven compliance capabilities for on-chain transactions, and to ensure transactions are conducted by verified entities operating under enforceable policy constraints. Each participant, whether a regulator, issuer, or financial institution, is represented by a Cross-Chain Identity (CCID), a core component of Chainlink ACE that provides a reusable cryptographic identity enabling verified credentials and attestations to be recognized across multiple blockchains. Confidential data remains off-chain, while verifiable proofs are recorded onchain, creating a privacy-preserving identity layer for compliant financial transactions. Together, GL1 and Chainlink are enabling leading financial institutions to operate within global regulatory boundaries while unlocking the efficiency, transparency, and interoperability of tokenized asset markets.
