In this SmartCon interview, Fidelity’s Raghav Chawla answered questions from Chainlink Labs’ William Herkelrath around the company's approach to testing innovative technologies. Raghav expanded on the most prominent blockchain use cases for financial institutions, ranging from creating definitive records on a shared ledger to optimizing clearing and settlement times to reducing systemic counterparty risk through cryptographic guarantees. Additionally, Raghav described how decentralized oracles bring real-world data on-chain to enable hybrid smart contracts, unlocking increasingly useful applications and lowering the barrier to entry for startups trying to break into the financial industry.
