Chainlink, the biggest provider of data to smart contracts, said the value of smart contracts dependent on its feeds has climbed to $75 billion.
- The total value secured (TVS) has soared from $7 billion at the end of last year.
- Chainlink’s oracles feed data such as weather and sports results from external sources to blockchains such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain and Avalanche. The data allows decentralized finance (DeFi) applications to trigger their smart contracts when conditions are met.
- “Without trusted price data to trigger smart contracts, it is impossible to build DeFi applications, and we do not think it is a coincidence that the rate at which Chainlink has been able to bring new market data onto blockchains has been the rate at which developers have been able to build exciting new DeFi apps,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink.
- In August, Swisscom, Switzerland’s largest telecommunications provider announced it is launching a Chainlink oracle node to provide data for DeFi.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
