Chainlink has officially launched Transporter. This is a high-security token cross-chain application built on the Chainlink CCIP interoperability standard. Transporter was jointly developed by the Chainlink Foundation and supported by Chainlink Labs. The mature infrastructure of Chainlink provides Transporter with a deep defense security model, so users can transfer tokens across different blockchains. The first batch of connected blockchains includes Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Optimism, Polygon, and WEMIX.

Chainlink's product, Chainlink Functions, has been launched on Base. Chainlink Functions provides access to trust-minimized computing infrastructure for smart contract developers on Base, allowing them to retrieve data from APIs and perform custom calculations.

Ari Juels, the author of "The Oracle" and Chief Scientist of Chainlink Labs, discussed what he believes to be misleading narratives related to the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.

The blockchain ecosystem has become a multi-chain landscape, with hundreds of layer-1 and layer-2 networks, rollups, sidechains, appchains, and other environments, with continued ecosystem growth ultimately driving towards a future with thousands of different public and private blockchain networks. This Cambrian explosion has led to a diversity of blockchains, each offering unique value propositions for their users and developers.

We chose Chainlink as our preferred decentralized computing platform due to its proven history of enabling $9T+ in total value for decentralized markets and securely delivering 11.8B+ data points onchain. Additionally, Chainlink Proof of Reserve is our recommended service for tokenized asset issuers looking to bring reserve data onchain because of its ease of integration and ubiquitous adoption across the blockchain ecosystem.

Ark Invest and 21Shares will integrate Chainlink to publicly disclose the Bitcoin reserves of their ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB), with the aim of improving transparency and bringing data to the Avalanche mainnet. This move follows Bitwise's disclosure of its Bitcoin ETF wallet address, aimed at providing investors with a higher level of insight and security.

In early civilizations, truth was based on myth. Observations of worldly phenomena were wrapped in symbolic narratives, religious beliefs, and ancient wisdom. Over time, humanity began to value objective measurements and reasoning, birthing disciplines such as science, mathematics, and logic.

Telefónica, one of the world's largest telecommunication services providers, is teaming up with Chainlink to provide an added layer of security to blockchain transactions. The partnership will focus on preventing Web3-related hacks and exploits, including "SIM Swap" attacks, and will provide security for smart contracts that connect with other APIs on the GSMA Open Gateway. The first use case of the initiative will be to prevent "SIM Swap" attacks in Brazil, where Telefónica will introduce the first GSMA Open Gateway API. The collaboration marks a significant step in integrating Telco capabilities into the blockchain industry and enhances the functionality and security of Web3 applications.
