My newest @blockworksres report on @chainlink.explains why it will likely become the dominant RWA Infrastructure Platform. If Chainlink achieves its goal of becoming the dominant interoperability infrastructure within the capital markets, it will likely be valued as much or more.
1/ @chainlink is positioning itself to be the dominant infrastructure platform for Real World Assets (RWAs). Surpassing $3B in value excluding stablecoins, the space has seen significant growth in 2024 and is estimated to be as large as $16T by 2030.

Number of projects using Chainlink is doubling every 6 months. In general the exponential nature of network effects makes it exponentially more difficult for competitors to disrupt the market leader. Just a 1 year head start is an extreme advantage. Chainlink had 5 👀.

Sergey talking like this has me thinking 2025 might actually be the year it all happens.
What if all Stablecoins, RWAs and CBDCs start being connected to each other and to all the world's digital assets, across all chains, on one platform/standard set of protocols, because it has all the data connections, identity connections and cross-chain connections they need to.

CCIP around the corner?.

1/.A very ignorant statement, IMO. @chainlink price feeds have never gone down or functioned incorrectly. Chainlink oracle networks are designed by smart contract creators - node operators simply service the requested data.

This is factually incorrect, in my opinion. Although LayerZero technically released first, LayerZero relies on 3rd party cryptographic/consensus based mechanisms to receive trust-minimized block header data. LayerZero officially integrated Chainlink in Nov 2022 for this purpose.
CCIP, probably better/more robust and decentralized than layer zero. but layer zero BD, marketing goated, has a head start.

@Nakamotolisk Out of nearly 500 tokens studied, LINK was an outlier where token dilution did not impact price. Most the unlocks are to the team and they aren't selling. CCIP revenue over 350k this month, and on new podcast learned chainlink nets over 35mil a year from every roll-up integration

Bears in disbelief, we still got a lot of room to run boys.
Chainlink is trying to do waaay to much on the product side and keeps missing the mark. Initial oracles made sense but:. -CCIP slower and higher cost than LayerZero, Synapse and others [so far].-Data Streams cost structure is insane compared to Pyth. -Automation is ok-ish but OZ.

I didn't want to be the one to tell you this, . But $BTC emitting $1,9710,000,000 worth of Bitcoin (at current prices, pre-halving) over the next year is *not* accumulation. Oh btw $SOL has an inflation rate greater than LINK's, and captures lower fees. It is literally.

Important thread. This will be a long/volatile journey, with many challenges to overcome as the industry evolves. Constant doomerism is not productive and is actively harmful to achieving the results you want to see. Remember, crypto as a whole has reached 0.01% of its potential.

1/10.One of the key takeaways from this article is a small bit on Economics 2.0. dApps that join Chainlink Scale can pay higher fees for higher quality services (low latency, etc.) and get priority access to new updates. This is a big deal.

All blockspace is highly inflationary, whether its on eth, sol, an L2, or L3. Execution layers are in a race towards 0. While people argue what blockspace is the most valuable, Chainlink is busy monopolizing every other vertical of infrastructure which will capture immense.
Modularity is bad for ETH. Specifically, modularity means:. 1) using non-EVM execution environments.2) on non-EthereumL1 DA layers. Why is the Ethereum community therefore so pro-modularity?.

Check out the newest @blockworksres report I wrote on @AerodromeFi. Thesis: In the absence of a Base token, AERO is *effectively* the gas token of Base that powers liquidity provision for new tokens launched on the chain.
1/. @AerodromeFi is a "MetaDEX" that combines elements of various DEX primitives such as Uniswap V2 and V3, Curve, Convex, and Votium. Since its launch on Base, it has become the largest protocol by TVL with more than $495B in value locked, doubling Uniswap's Base deployment.

1/.As Sergey and Kemal discuss, blockchains + oracles + AI are synergistic technologies to some degree. I highlighted the Anti-Fraud Network in my most recent paper The Endgame. How does the AI know what fraud is being detected?.
Blockchains and AI have many points of intersection that can enhance both technologies. It's still a guess about how fast each will reach wider adoption & in what form they will all interact. However, it is encouraging to see both finding product-market fit at scale.
