Everything you (may have) wanted to know about NFTs/VRFs. What is the design issues with protecting NFTs and how ChainLink is resolving those issues:
Blockchain tech is holding NFTs back because of these three design flaws
"Three design flaws in blockchain tech are holding the NFT sector back — and they need to be tackled for it to reach its full potential."
https://cointelegraph.com/news/blockchain-tech-is-holding-nfts-back-because-of-these-three-design-flaws
So, who is tackling these design flaws?
---> Chainlink Will MOON SOON!! They Have BIG NFT NEWS!! <---
(This video is about 12 minutes long but well worth watching. It explains the NFT/VRF world end to end; it's problems and how ChainLink has been addressing it since October of last year).
Link, based on Metcalfe Law, will have to climb back to at least $29+ (for now). Fairly soon. Why?
Reasoning:
- Link started 2021 @ around $12.60.
- There were 281 integrations ending in 2020.in 2021.
- Currently there are around 655 integrations in 2021 (so far; growing at 1.4 per day).
- 655 integration / 281 integrations = approx. 2.33 or 233% more integrations so far this year.
- $12.60 x 233% growth comes to about $29+ fair market value for Link per Metcalfe Law.
And further at 1.4 integrations added per day and 157 days remaining in 2021, 157 x 1.4 = 219 more integrations this year. That's about 936 integrations.
- 936 / 281 = 3.33 or 333% growth in integrations
- 333% x 12.60 = approx. $42/token. Year end fair market value.
However, the better news is, the more integrations that are added, the faster the integration growth rate per day. (Arithmetic n log of Metcalfe's Law). Network user growth isn't linear but exponential.
That's why Link integrations went up 233% in the first 7 months of 2021.
Exceeding the rate of growth for 2020.
Anyone can see, based on the above mathematics that Link should grow at least 333% in integrations in 2021. By the end of 2022 that number should be over 800 or 900% increase in additional integrations based on a non-linear exponential rate. (And thus the fair market value should increase by the same).
Enjoy hodling. Patience pays handsomely.

The Chainlink / Swift Connection - Seat At The Family Table
Are SWIFT working with Chainlink? (See SWIFT at bottom for who they are).
Chainlink have always been relatively secretive about their work with Swift in terms of releasing details about the partnership. The Smart Contract website states that “We’re proud to be working with SWIFT on their own SWIFT Smart Oracle. Allowing smart contracts on various networks to make payments, send governance instructions, and release collateral with over 11,000 banks.” Swift have also never confirmed on their website that they are working with Chainlink or Smart Contract.
The Swift Chainlink partnership started back in 2016 when Smart Contract (Chainlink) won an award at the Innotribe Industry Challenge, an event run by Swift.
Take a look at this presentation from the Sibos 2017 conference showing how SWIFT embarked on a project with Chainlink in order to connect off chain data with the Blockchain.
SmartContract.com Presentation of SWIFT smart contracts using oracles.
https://create.smartcontract.com/sibos17
The project was a success and it allowed Smart Contracts to make payments using the Swift Network, this was done with huge financial institutions such as Santander, Barcalys, BNP and Fidelity. When fully implemented this would allow Smart Contracts to pay money to thousands of bank accounts, these Smart Contracts would require a link to bridge the gap between the Swift API and the Blockchain on which they are stored on.
At the Chainlink meetup in Paris 2019 it was announced how the Swift Chainlink partnership would work with a dedicated “Swift Chainlink Oracle” for making payments. You can see more details about the Swift Chainlink integration here.
Furthermore, Swift announced last year that they will let Blockchain products use their GPI platform for near real time payments. These Blockchain products will all need to be connected to the off chain Swift API. This is another huge opportunity for Chainlink, who could bridge this gap for these Blockchain products.
What would the Swift Partnership mean for Chainlink?
Full integration with Swift would significantly broaden Chainlink’s use cases on the global stage. In 2019 alone, $77 trillion in value was sent over Swift GPI. This could dramatically increase the demand and need for Chainlink oracles across the sector.
Could Swift be trying to hide or white label Chainlink behind their GPI? What do you think this would mean for the project as a whole? Would the price of $link be affected without the public awareness?
Sergey Nazrov once said he thinks that Chainlink will become the standard Oracle Solution for Smart Contracts. Could Swift be the next step in Chainlink becoming this standard?
https://www.uxsequence.io/news/swift-chainlink-integration/
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Who are Swift?
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications. Swift is the world’s leading provider of secure financial messaging services. But what does this actually mean?
They don’t hold funds or even manage any accounts on behalf of customers and it’s not a payment network, but 33.6 million transactions go through the network every day?
Swift passes messages between banks in a very secure manner, these messages state the details of all international transactions. It’s crucial that Swift is secure because if the platform gets hacked then transactions can be redirected to different bank accounts.
Ever made a transfer or received money from overseas? You may have used a Swift code or number in order to complete these transactions. These codes are made up of a bank, country, location and branch codes.
It is considered to be the current standard for international transfers and is used across the world, with over 11,000 institutions using Swift daily.
Chainlink is correcting it's price to correspond to the Metcalfe Law. You can't fight mathematics.
Chainlink Onboarding Partners at the Speed of Light
Jul 25, 2021 09:02AM ET
o Chainlink averages 1.4 client onboardings per day in 2021.
o The closed-off nature of blockchain and smart contracts increases dependence on Chainlink or other oracle networks.
o Chainlink’s network value will increase linearly as new uses become necessary for smart contract interactions.
o Historically data shows Chainlink is poised for an extensive rebound once the market regains momentum.
As an innovation, smart contracts fit society’s demand for security and data integrity. The premise of decentralization is to expedite cryptocurrencies uses in a society dependent on digital interaction. As stand-alone technologies shielded from centralized off-chain data sources, smart contracts were segregated from attaining their primary goals. As such, oracle network innovation helps smart contracts become useful in real-world scenarios.
Chainlink Pushing For Smart Contract Mass Adoption
Chainlink and other oracle networks have evolved in symmetry with DeFi. Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink’s founder, indicated oracle integration retrieved data for 90% of blockchain derivatives.
Currently, Chainlink accounts for a total of 650 integrations at the time of writing, amounting to a 43% increase since 2020. During the previous year, Chainlink accounted for only 250 partner integrations. Thus, in 2021 Chainlink signed 1.4 partners daily.
The necessity of oracle networks is in succession with the number of new oracles, such as Band Protocol, entering the market to facilitate off-chain data to smart contracts. Beneficial integration brings forth the question of Chainlink’s network growth. By applying Metcalfe’s Law, Chainlink’s agile development could result in rapid exponential growth for the entire value of the project.
As a reference, more partners such as Pancake Swap are integrating Chainlink’s Verifiable Random Function (VRF), allowing projects to provide unbiased randomly generated numbers. Additionally, Infinity Skies, a loot NFT game, announced VRF integration to generate random loot boxes as they are the “most credible solutions available in the industry.”
On The Flipside
o Chainlink could face fierce competition as the ecosystem requires more oracle networks to facilitate faster access.
Chainlink might be going through the current crash’s final stages, and a BTC upward trend is imminent.
o DeFi cannot be built without any external data inputs, and Chainlink facilitates that.
Building Oracles for the Future of Blockchain
Chainlink proposed a new vision for the company with the development of Hybrid Smart Contracts to increase blockchain adoption exponentially. Mark Cuban, for example, invested in dClimate, which provides data feeds to prepare governments and farmers for potential disasters. As such, Chainlink implementation in the global technology ecosystem could be a step closer to intertwining smart contracts into our daily lives.
The expansion into a multitude of blockchain subdivisions enables Chainlink to grasp previous and emerging innovative trends. Additionally, Chainlink is becoming a “blackhole of adoption of oracles” as it facilitates reliable access to “reliable oracles.”
Value Protocol highlighted in a tweet that large outflows that echoed the entire crypto market were identified for LINK. Moreover, data also shows users are accumulating large amounts of LINK tokens despite the high outflows. Using historical data, Timothy Pateron highlights Chainlink could experience a higher rebound once volume picks up in the market.
Nazarov argued that tokens had been the first iteration of blockchain technology. With many use cases, such as price feeds or voting, the possibilities of smart contracts are endless, comparing the opportunities to an “entire universe of what can be built.”

How blockchain is shaking Swift and the global payments system
"...in all of these conversations is what blockchain and the cryptocurrencies it supports could do to financial plumbing, not just inside countries but between them. This could reshape not just finance, but US geopolitical leverage as well.
https://www.ft.com/content/91342189-978f-4d44-9dc

Just Remember.....
LINK, like every other cryptocurrency (including
bitcoin), is a demand-driven network asset. As such,
its value is dependent upon the number of “users” of
the network. It is therefore possible to value the
ChainLink network with Metcalfe’s Law, so long as a
reasonable user count can be established.
Unique Function Callers as an Accurate User Count
Our prior research on ChainLink used active addresses
and Ethereum price. Active Addresses as a proxy for
users may be very useful but has two drawbacks.
1. It is an estimate of user growth, and tends to only capture those individuals that transact in the cryptocurrency.
2. Cryptocurrency is an immature market prone to feedback loops between price and user activity. This means active addresses can be reflective of short-term ups/downs.
ChainLink’s daily function caller activity can vary greatly from day to day. However, we can look at long- and short-term trends and estimate a high and low boundary around LINK’s daily Metcalfe Value.
LINK’s price has mostly stayed above the lower bound of this range. Three notable exceptions are December 2018 (the nadir of “crypto winter”) and the market crash of March 2020. And now....the crypto crash 2021.
Notice the long term trend has always fell back to within the Metcalfe value range. (Which goes up expotentially). Thus Link has math on it's side.
