Chainlink Weekly Roundup: Cask, OnePlanet, Kwil, 2022 Highlights



Smart contract oracle network Chainlink started the new year with new partnerships and services across various aspects of the crypto ecoystem.
Money Flow Automation, NFTs, Database, Year in Review
Dominant smart contract oracle network Chainlink kicked off 2023 the same way it ended 2022 -- by building relationships across the Web3 sector.
In this week’s roundup:
- Cask Protocol Launches Chainlink Top-Ups.
- OnePlanet integrates Verifiable Random Function (VRF).
- Kwil joins Chainlink BUILD program.
- Chainlink reflects on milestones from 2022.

Cask Launches Chainlink Top-Ups
Chainlink BUILD program participant Cask Protocol unveiled a new Web3 money flow automation called Chainlink Top-Ups to ensure that protocols using Chainlink Automation and VRF always have an adequate balance of $LINK.
“Cask itself relies upon Chainlink for services such as Automation and Price Feeds. As we looked to increase the reliability and optimization of our protocol, it became clear that we needed a way to top up our LINK balances automatically,” according to a Cask blog post. “While Cask initially built the top-up solution for self-use, it’s now open as a common good available to all web3 builders who rely upon Chainlink services.”
Users can pay for top-ups using stablecoins. Cask supports top-ups on Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Polygon.
1/ New automation! Chainlink Top-ups. Cask monitors a project's LINK balance in a given Chainlink service, and when that balance drops below a defined threshold, Cask will automatically swap stablecoins for LINK and deposit it into the Chainlink service. https://t.co/hHbDiKXoh7

NFT Game on Polygon
Non-Fungible Token (NFT) launchpad and marketplace OnePlanet integrated Chainklink VRF to power Randombox NFT reveals for horse-themed NFT game Derby Stars.
“As an NFT launchpad and marketplace, we’re excited to be using Chainlink VRF. Users are increasingly demanding proof of randomness and Chainlink VRF is the most reliable, secure, and transparent RNG solution in the industry,” OnePlanet CEO Pryce Cho said in a Medium post.
VRF ensured fairness and transparency in the reveal of 1,000 Derby Stars NFTs on Polygon.
“It’s easy to see why Chainlink VRF is the industry-standard RNG. With proofs published on-chain, it helps users verify that our Randombox NFT reveal mechanism is underpinned by verifiable randomness.” Derby Stars Founder/CEO Sean Hahm said.
NFT launchpad and marketplace @OnePlanet_NFT, in collaboration with @DerbyStars_HQ, has integrated #Chainlink VRF on #Polygon to help power Randombox NFT reveals.

Kwil Joins BUILD
Kwil has joined the Chainlink BUILD program to accelerate adoption of its permissionless relational database for the decentralized Internet.
“We are thrilled to join Chainlink BUILD, which will expand the use-cases and utility of Kwil. The Chainlink Network underpins the Web3 data ecosystem, facilitating the transfer of vast quantities of off-chain data on-chain,” Kwil Founder Brennan Lamey said in a Medium post. “Kwil extends Chainlink’s mission of decentralized data access by providing critical storage infrastructure to next-generation oracles, dApps, and smart contracts.”
Kwil is a protocol for designing, building, and deploying permissionless databases. Data providers and smart contract developers can use Kwil to store large amounts of structured data off-chain, without compromising decentralization.
For example, Chainlink BUILD program participant Truflation will use Kwil to store, manage and process its relational database systems containing inflation data.
By joining BUILD, Kwil will connect to the Chainlink ecosystem and gain enhanced access to technical support. In return, Kwil will commit a portion of its token supply to the Chainlink Network.

Terraform Labs Founder Do Kwon Appeals Extradition Decision in Montenegro

The appeal will be reviewed by the Montenegro court, and the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice faces challenges in reaching a conclusive decision by the December 15 deadline.
Kwon Do-hyung, the founder of Terraform Labs (TFL), has filed an appeal against the recent extradition ruling made by the High Court of Podgorica in Montenegro, according to a local South Korean media outlet.
The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed on December 6 that Kwon Do-hyung contested the decision, stating, “I do not accept the court’s decision to extradite me, so I do not submit to the court’s decision.”
This appeal prompts the Montenegrin Court of Appeals to reassess the extradition decision, introducing uncertainty into the resolution timeline.
Extradition Request and Timeline
The court initially approved Kwon’s extradition request on November 24, stipulating his transfer to either the United States or his home country, South Korea.
The current appeal has altered the decision-making timeline, making it challenging for the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice to finalize the extradition destination before the December 15 deadline.
During the extradition trial, Kwon expressed a preference for being extradited to South Korea, a request that was granted by the court. However, the appeal has extended the timeline, potentially rescheduling the extradition proceedings to January, according to Crypto Times.
Despite Kwon Do-hyung’s appeal, local observers in Montenegro suggest slim chances of overturning the extradition decision. A prevailing belief among Montenegrin government officials and judiciary figures is that Kwon’s continued detention attracts undue attention.
