Episode notes

Chainlink also announced in 2022 the cross chain interoperability protocol or CCIP. For those who do not know, it aims to provide an open standard for devs to build services and apps that could be transferable across networks. There are a lot of updates there, not a lot of them that I can share because they're related to users that are planning to launch with the protocol. But so far CCIP is on track, it's in the final stages of security review, and it's basically at a place where we think we're getting closer and closer to the ability to launch it with a select number of users.

A show that unpacks and dives deep into the latest trends, drama and news with some of the biggest names in crypto breaking things down block by block for the crypto curious.

For this week’s episode, Jacquelyn interviewed Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, a protocol that provides an oracle network to power smart contracts.

Chainlink is also known as a web3 services platform that connects people, businesses and data with the world of web3. And for good reason - it has enabled over $7 trillion in transaction volume across DeFi, gaming, NFTs and other major industries.

Prior to co-founding Chainlink, Nazarov co-founded four other businesses, most recently SmartContract - which focused on smart contracts.

We discussed a number of things surrounding smart contracts, technological guarantees, cross-chain interoperability, and Nazarov’s long-term vision for Chainlink.

We also dove into:

Unexpected smart contract use cases
Cryptographic guarantees
How traditional companies can tokenize assets
AI and blockchain technology
CCIP updates
