In this presentation, Chainlink Co-Founder Sergey Nazarov discusses the fundamental need for deterministic cryptographic truth over the current system of probabilistic paper-based guarantees, and how Chainlink is facilitating this crucial societal transition.

Nazarov explains how Chainlink has come to secure over $75 billion by providing secure and reliable off-chain data and computation services to dApps, and then details plans for cross-chain interoperability using CCIP, the upcoming release of staking, and the use of Chainlink as an abstraction layer by Web 2.0 and enterprises.
