Chainlink's movements
- The Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Contracts (IC3) has recently been awarded the Chainlink Research Grant to further improve technologies that underpin Chainlink.
- Houbi Eco Chain will soon be natively integrating Chainlink as its recommended oracle solution, giving all Heco developers access to all the benefits provided by the Chainlink network and its supplied data.
- Chainlink launched the Chainlink On-Chain Data Directory using ENS, which creates an easily-identifiable on-chain index of Chainlink Price Feed addresses, providing users with additional assurances that they are relying on and/or sending funds to the right on-chain address.
Feature Update
Several features have been worked on to start the new year:
- The contracts page is being updated to provide an optimised user experience, allowing users to explore information more efficiently.
- The reputation.link team has improved the speed and functionality of the whole platform, specifically the oracle page.
- The current login process for reputation.link is under reconstruction, as the team strategies new ways for node operators to register and interact with the platform.
