Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle and interoperability platform that connects blockchains with real-world data, external systems, and cross-chain networks. Its infrastructure powers Data Feeds, Data Streams, Proof of Reserve, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), enabling secure asset transfers and messaging across ecosystems. Trusted by major financial institutions and DeFi protocols including Swift, Mastercard, Euroclear, Aave, and Lido, Chainlink has facilitated tens of trillions of dollars in transaction value while maintaining a proven track record of reliability across leading blockchain networks.
Compound V3—also branded ‘Comet’—moves to a one‑way collateral model where users borrow a single base asset (USDC, ETH or WBTC) against isolated collateral lists. The simpler architecture reduces attack surface, halves gas per transaction and lets governance set per‑asset borrow caps. Launched on Ethereum in August 2022, V3 has since been ported to Arbitrum and Base and underpins products such as Coinbase’s USDC institutional lending pool.
