Universities 🤝 Web3 projects

There's a clear, mutually beneficial relationship forming between top universities and the Web3 industry.

As pioneers of cutting-edge research and emerging technology, it's no surprise that many universities are offering courses on Web3 technologies. Alongside these courses, we're seeing a plethora of student groups popping up to deepen industry knowledge.

This is a prime opportunity for Web3 projects to connect with a new generation of Web3 enthusiasts and provide the opportunities, resources, and education that students need to thrive as they explore what our industry has to offer.

This #W3MM webinar dives into the ins and outs of working with universities and provides valuable perspectives from experts on the ground: youtu.be/ijpWsvvidug

Chainlink is working with Swift and more than a dozen major financial institutions on experiments to enable connectivity to and interoperability across public and private blockchains: www.swift.com/news-events/news/swift-explores-blockchain-interoperability-remove-friction-tokenised-asset-settlement

These experiments are a significant step forward from the biggest financial players across the globe to #LinkTheWorld of traditional finance to blockchains.

“As banks endeavor to access multiple blockchains,” Sergey Nazarov explains, “a common connectivity layer across the various chains will be a critical building block for their adoption of on-chain finance.”

“Trust-minimization” is a term that encapsulates the core technological capabilities and community ethos that distinguish Web3 from the centralized systems that have historically underpinned society.

More specifically, trust-minimized execution refers to a process that’s facilitated in a manner in which the probability of it operating correctly is so statistically high that it can almost be considered guaranteed. While some may consider this to be a “trustless” system, others may argue that nothing can be truly trustless.

What really matters is that blockchain, smart contract, and oracle technologies enable developers to build more robust applications based on cryptographic truth. Instead of depending upon a single trusted entity to facilitate value or communication transfers, users can rely on the deterministic and decentralized infrastructure of Web3. Or, to simplify it: truth > trust.

As the industry standard oracle network delivering highly accurate data and computation on-chain, Chainlink plays a key role in enabling developers to create end-to-end trust-minimized applications that are also performant and feature-rich.

Unlike other #Web3 games, on-chain games store and run all game logic, state, and player data on blockchains to provide unmatched digital permanence.

But they also come with severe limitations in speed, scalability, and functionality—so why are builders creating on-chain games?

The possibility of truly decentralized games has captured the imagination of a niche, but growing community.
