Episode notes

The fast case depends on failures, making people aware that they need an alternative. The slow case is based on this being a trillion dollar industry. And I can't predict the speed and magnitude of failure that's going to happen in the traditional financial system. But I think unfortunately it's going to be infamous at this point.

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
