University session: Understanding Decentralized Oracles in Web3
Join us for an in-person university session at Kisii University focused on one of the most important building blocks of Web3: decentralized oracles.
As blockchain adoption grows, smart contracts need reliable, real-world data to function securely and accurately. This session will introduce students and developers to how decentralized oracles solve this problem, with a practical look at how Chainlink powers real Web3 applications.
Whether you’re new to blockchain or already exploring Web3 development, this session is designed to give you clarity, context, and direction.

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.
