Chainlink 101
Join Geeks of Gurukul and Chainlink for Event Chainlink 101: Build Live — a hands-on blockchain developers workshop happening offline at Centurion University.
🎯 Workshop Objective
To build a smart contract on the blockchain — hands-on, from scratch. Those who complete the build in this physical workshop get a rare opportunity to learn and build directly alongside International Chainlink and Web3 developers.
📌 Key Takeaways
This session is designed for students and builders who want to go beyond theory and actually ship something onchain. We'll cover:
What is Chainlink & why it matters — an intro to oracles, why blockchains need real-world data.
Get an overview of Chainlink's core standards — Data, Interoperability, Compliance, and Privacy — and how they connect smart contracts to the real world.
MetaMask installation & wallet setup — get your wallet ready for testnet deployment
Remix IDE walkthrough — writing, compiling, and deploying Solidity contracts
Solidity basics — write your first smart contract from scratch
Live deployment — deploy your contract to a testnet, right there in the room
Whether you're completely new to blockchain or already curious about Web3, this is a beginner-friendly, practical session with real takeaways — not just slides.
👩🏻💻 Who Should Attend? Perfect for students, beginner developers, and Web3 enthusiasts interested in blockchains, oracles, DeFi, or smart contract development — no prior experience needed. Just bring a laptop.

About Chainlink
Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi.
Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. Learn more at chain.link.
