Chainlink and The Smart Contract Summit #1
This past week(end), Chainlink held their 2nd annual Smart Contract Summit. For Chainlink and the Smart Contract space, this is the Super Bowl. The Summit brought together more than 200+ industry-leading founders, researchers, and developers in the fintech, blockchain and crypto industries via a three day virtual conference.
Chainlink’s co-founder, Sergey Nazarov, was a keynote speaker throughout the conference and also held AMA’s with leaders in the space. We heard updates, teasers, and the latest around decentralized finance, NFTs, oracles, smart contracts, and much more.
In lieu of breaking down each presentation, we share this incredible mega thread from the incomparable ChainLinkGod around the conference.
It goes without saying but will be said anyways. Chainlink continues to amaze us and confirm why it’s our #1 investment opportunity across the investing landscape. We started writing this newsletter to begin 2021 with the idea behind investing early and there is still no better early investment.
New Corporate Integrations
New Chainlink integrations were announced with this graphic just touching the surface on how $LINK continues to spread it’s technology wider and wider.
One of our favorite integrations is with the Bancor Protocol and we break down why in our next premium edition.

From 2017, to 2.0, and Beyond…
The History of Chainlink
The Chainlink network was launched in June 2017 by the for-profit company SmartContract, and the first version was launched the same month.
Company co-founders, Steve Ellis and Sergey Nazarov, later published Chainlink’s Whitepaper in September 2017 with Ari Juels, an advisor to the company.
The Chainlink team next held an initial coin offering (ICO), raising the equivalent of $32 million by selling 35% of the 1 billion unit supply of its LINK cryptocurrency.
As for the remainder of the tokens, 30% were distributed to SmartContract to be used for the development of the Chainlink blockchain and 35% went to incentivize node operators.
This year, Chainlink launched their whitepaper 2.0, revealing the company’s growth thus far, accomplishments and integrations, and the future of the Chainlink Oracle Network and Hybrid Smart Contracts.
