Chainlink Labs Guest Lecture at The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology

Chainlink decentralized oracle networks provide tamper-proof inputs, outputs, and computations to support advanced smart contracts on any blockchain. Chainlink securely connects smart contracts with off-chain data and services, including integrations with 80 blockchains, and providing price feed data for more than 350 DeFi projects such as 1inch, Aave, and Compound. We are sponsors of Hyperledger Avalon and members of the InterWork Alliance, the Hedera Hashgraph Governing Council, and the technical steering committee for the Baseline Protocol Initiative. We would like to explain to developers and IT professionals how Chainlink greatly expands the capabilities of smart contracts by enabling access to real-world data and off-chain computation while maintaining the security and reliability guarantees inherent to blockchain technology. We will present on: The Blockchain Oracle Problem The oracle problem The job of an oracle Why blockchains like Ethereum don’t offer native oracle solutions The security risks of
