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.

Shift In Buying Momentum: Investor Interest Rises In Pullix ($PLX) Over Solana (SOL) and Polkadot (DOT)

Solana (SOL) and Polkadot (DOT) have come a long way in 2023, each seeing some investor activity. However, Pillux, an upcoming DeFi platform, is looking more profitable in the long run for investors.
Solana (SOL) and Polkadot (POL) are among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization and are two altcoins pulling the attention of investors looking to quadruple their profits. But there's another coin that is quickly becoming a top pick for investors, amassing a range of remarkable features that set the scene for it to be one of the best new cryptos to invest in as the crypto market shows more excitement. In this piece, let's find out why Pullix is gaining more interest than Solana and Polkadot.
Pullix ($PLX): Assets Diversification and Liquidity Provision Rallying Investors
Pullix ($PLX) is a highly promising cryptocurrency project set to revolutionize the trading landscape by offering a comprehensive range of assets, including commodities, ETFs, and forex, rarely found in traditional platforms. Distinguishing itself from the norm, Pullix implements a fee structure with zero commission fees and visible tight spreads, enhancing overall profitability for traders, aligning with decentralized finance (DeFi) principles.
Playing a pivotal role in resolving liquidity issues within the DeFi space, Pullix introduces a liquidity provision, allowing traders to contribute liquidity through its dedicated Market Making Liquidity Contribution feature. Additionally, investors can stake cryptocurrencies like ETH and BTC to enhance liquidity in the order book.
Another interesting feature offered by Pullix is the opportunity for traders to earn a passive monthly income through staking other cryptocurrencies for a fixed period and interest rate. This unique offering sets Pullix apart, as major players like Coinbase or Binance do not currently provide a comparable feature.
Currently trading at $0.04, Pullix positions itself as an attractive investment option for traders seeking a unified platform for seamless trading, rewards accumulation, and wealth enhancement. The $PLX, doubling as both governance token and native asset, acts as a gateway to a host of enticing features, including platform usage, exclusive access, reduced trading fees, rewards unlocking, exchangeability, and staking.
Considering its comprehensive features and a projected 100x surge in price, industry experts anticipate a growing influx of investors that may consider Pullix over Solana and Polkadot.
Solana (SOL) Sees More Bullish Sentiment But Investors Are Careful
Solana (SOL) has seen a surprising price surge to $61 since the start of the year when it traded for $9. However, Solana (SOL) has not maintained this upswing. It is currently worth $61, compared to a high price of $66 on December 6, 2023.
In addition to its surge, SOL caught the crypto market's eyes with its total value locked (TVL) on Solana rising to around $670 million on December 5, according to DefiLlama. This last occurred in November 2022.
Sentiment around the Solana coin is bullish, with analysts saying it could witness an upward climb. InvestAnswers, a prominent crypto analyst, predicts that Solana (SOL) might capture 10% of Ethereum’s market capitalization in the next bull market.
If the Solana price sustains above its current price, the altcoin will continue its climb. Regardless, investors are aware that SOL has been trading under bearish for a week and are being careful. However, the price continues to trade above the pivotal support.
Polkadot (POL) Witnesses 7 Day High Of above 6%, a 10.23% Increase
Polkadot (POL), a layer 0 blockchain focused on interoperability and scalability, rose 10.23% to $6.13 on December 6, after seven days of trading above the $5 mark.
Between November 1 and November 30, Polkadot price (DOT) surged 16% from $4.45 to $5.16. Moreover, between November 23 and November 30, Polkadot (DOT) gained 7% as its price moved from $5.21 to $5.56.
Investors still hold a 41% bearish sentiment for the Polkadot coin, according to experts at Changelly. The coin was outperformed by 60% of the top 100 cryptocurrency assets in one year.
Nevertheless, many analysts hold that the project still possesses potential. They predicted Polkadot (DOT) might reach $7 in December 2023, but some investors aren't entirely keen. This may have contributed to the rise of investors flocking to Pullix as it has a great potential of witnessing a price and value surge once it launches in 2024.
