Building the future of Smart Contracts
summary
Argues that value shifts from paper guarantees to cryptographic guarantees and that Chainlink overlaps blockchains with real-world services by providing oracle networks, live price feeds, and minute-by-minute proof of reserves to prove off-chain assets exist. Claims DeFi is still less than three percent of its potential and will grow as composable on-chain services scale. Names concrete tools in production: price oracles, on-chain randomness (verifiable randomness) used in games, and keepers for automated contract maintenance.
