Chainlink Weekly Roundup: Carbon Credits, Galaxis and Anthony Hopkins



Chainlink, the dominant smart contract oracle, is helping traditional industries leverage the benefits Web3 can bring to companies and consumers.
Chainlink for Climate, Communities, Hollywood
This week, Chainlink expanded across new industries as it helps bring carbon credits to the blockchain, build online communities and launch an Oscar-winning actor's Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection.
In this week's roundup:
- Chainlink secures the first two-way carbon bridge.
- Galaxis joins Chainlink BUILD.
- Anthony Hopkins' NFT collection integrates Chainlink VRF.

Next-Gen Carbon Markets
Climate tech start-up Thallo and the carbon market program BioCarbon Registry (BCR) created a bridge that tokenizes carbon credits.
These credits can be moved on and off the Polygon blockchain while avoiding double accounting and ensuring traceability. Moreover, Chainlink Proof of Reserve allows users to verify the bridge's underlying collateral in real-time.
“This gives the whole market a blueprint for the process and lays the foundation for scaling the voluntary carbon markets while ensuring the highest integrity and alignment with the Voluntary Carbon Market principles,” said Ángela Duque, BCR’s Founder and CEO.
8/ Finally, the credits are planned to come from the Delfines Cupica REDD+ project, an award-winning project in the Chocó on the Pacific Coast of Colombia delivered in collaboration with local Afro-Colombian communities + our partner @BIOFIX2

The first credits are planned to come from the Delfines Cupica REDD+, an award-winning conservation project that protects 103,000 acres of tropical rainforests on Colombia's Pacific Coast.
Building Unstoppable Communities
Galaxis, a no-code toolkit for creating utility NFTs, joined the Chainlink BUILD program.
The program aims to accelerate the project by providing access to Chainlink services and technical support in exchange for delivering network fees and other benefits to the ecosystem.
“We’re incredibly impressed by the level of technical support Chainlink can offer and look forward to improving our platform further by natively integrating core Chainlink infrastructure,” said Andras Kristof, Founder and CEO of Galaxis.

Chainlink unveiled BUILD as part of Chainlink Economics 2.0 and to help Decentralized Applications (dApps) maximize the "Chainlink Effect," a dynamic where projects that integrate Chainlink's oracle services grow faster. This was instrumental in increasing the Total Value Locked of many top Decentralized Finance (DeFi) apps.
Hopkins Joins Web3 Hype
Orange Comet integrated Chainlink VRF to help ensure that Anthony Hopkins' NFT collection reveals were verifiably random.
The random number generator (RNG) enables smart contracts to access random values without compromising security or usability. In this case, minters have on-chain proof that their NFTs have randomized traits and a fairer monetary value.
Thank you @pranksy and @OrangeCometNFT for teaching me something new today.

It’s my understanding we will be working with @chainlink on the reveal. Everything will be shown publicly.

What Is Chainlink:
Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services needed to power hybrid smart contracts on any blockchain. Chainlink oracle networks provide smart contracts with a way to reliably connect to any external API and leverage secure off-chain computations for enabling feature-rich applications. They currently secure tens of billions of dollars across DeFi, insurance, gaming, and other major industries and offer global enterprises and leading data providers a universal gateway to all blockchains.

Ether Futures ETFs Hit the Market: ProShares, VanEck, and More Offer Options

This marks the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, following the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF two years ago.
Summary
- A range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched.
- These offerings mark the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, coming almost two years after the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF.
In a significant development for the crypto industry, a range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) targeting the performance of ether futures have been launched. These offerings mark the first-ever ETFs based on ether futures, coming almost two years after the introduction of the first bitcoin futures ETF.
Renowned for launching the first U.S. bitcoin futures ETF, ProShares leads the charge with the launch of the ProShares Ether Strategy ETF, along with two additional offerings that provide a blend of exposure to both bitcoin and ether. ProShares’ CEO, Michael L. Sapir, expressed optimism about the appeal of these crypto-linked ETFs to investors, stating, "We think that many investors who are interested in cryptocurrencies but are concerned about custody risks, or who are challenged by the learning curve and complexities required to buy them directly, will be attracted to our crypto-linked ETFs."
Bitwise also joined the fray with two ether futures ETFs: the Bitwise Ethereum Strategy ETF and the Bitwise Bitcoin and Ether Equal Weight Strategy ETF.
VanEck, a prominent asset manager, has also entered the arena with the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF. This ETF is designed to target capital appreciation by investing in ether futures contracts, providing investors with an alternative path to participate in the robust futures market centered around Ethereum.
Additionally, the VanEck Ethereum Strategy ETF has also entered the market, “designed to seek capital appreciation” through ether futures contracts. As highlighted by Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Asset Product at VanEck, these offerings provide a means for investors to tap into the robust futures market surrounding Ethereum.
