Introduction to Chainlink: Connecting Smart Contracts to the Real World
Join us for an evening of deep dives into the industry-standard decentralized computing platform.
Blockchains are revolutionary, but they are naturally "isolated" from the outside world. To reach their full potential, they need a bridge. That bridge is Chainlink.
Whether you are a blockchain developer, a tech enthusiast, or a curious professional, this session is designed to break down how Chainlink enables smart contracts to interact with real-world data, APIs, and traditional payment systems securely.

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.
