Episode notes

The amount of commands and events that would need to be put in from existing backends is something that was initially a surprise to me, but then later on made a lot of sense. So the digital world is very distinct from the cryptographically guaranteed web three world. In that sense, the right way to think about web three is that it's the guaranteed and reliable form of the digital world.

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
