Chainlink Weekly Roundup: OpenLuck, MoonDAO, RoboVault and Dvision

Chainlink Starts July on the Right Foot 

Four protocols integrated Chainlink’s data network to bring more secure and reliable products to the blockchain. 

In the last weekly roundup, BSC News covered how Chainlink ($LINK) helps the European Union (EU) fight against climate change. Now it's time to leave Earth and blast off to space. 

In this week’s roundup:

• MoonDAO integrates Chainlink VRF to randomly select an NFT Ticket To Space winner.
• OpenLuck integrates Chainlink Keepers, Price Feeds, and VRF on BNB Chain.
• RoboVault integrates Chainlink Keepers to support Decentralized Finance (DeFi) vault automation.
• Dvision Network integrates Chainlink Price Feeds and Chainlink VRF.

Decentralized Space Travel

MoonDAO, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) planning to send two people into space, integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on Ethereum.

With the vision to decentralize space exploration, MoonDAO purchased two tickets on the Blue Origin rocket to space. One of these tickets was awarded to a randomly selected holder of the free Tickets to Space NFTs. 

The integration was revealed to BSC News by the Chainlink team via an exclusive press release.

“Chainlink VRF played a key role in helping select a random NFT Ticket to Space holder to win a seat aboard the Blue Origin rocket. Using a provably fair, tamper-proof source of randomness from Chainlink VRF helped enable our community to verify that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was given out randomly, ” said Pablo Moncada-Larrotiz, MoonDAO’s admin. 

Random number generators (RNGs) derived from blockchain data can be exploited by validators, while RNGs derived from API off-chain data don’t provide definitive proof of the process integrity. For this reason, RNGs implemented in smart contracts require several security considerations to prevent manipulation.

OpenLuck Opens Up 

OpenLuck integrated Chainlink Keepers, Price Feeds, and Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on BNB Chain. 

The move will support Lucks Trading, an innovative model that combines crowdfunding and a raffle draw. 

“Chainlink trust-minimized services are essential for our NFT marketplace. By integrating Chainlink Keepers, Price Feeds, and VRF, we’re able to enhance the security of our crowdfunding feature, NFT prices, and lucky draw,” said Kevin, CMO of OpenLuck.

In essence:

• Chainlink Keepers automate the crowdfunding process to scale the platform. 
• Price Feeds help accurately price NFTs in BNB, BUSD, ETH, USDC, and USDT.
• VRF helps draw winners transparently.

RoboVault Integrates Chainlink Bots

RoboVault upgraded its smart contract automation solution to Chainlink Keepers on Avalanche.

Keepers are the backbone of RoboVault’s delta-neutral strategies. These strategies use multiple portfolio positions to neutralize one another and remain unaffected by small movements in asset prices.

“While some might get away with using in-house solutions or less-reliable services because the underlying use cases are less stringent, rVaults require the best automation service in the industry, which is clearly, in our minds, Chainlink Keepers,” the RoboVault team said. 

RoboVault must rebalance assets when prices move to avoid potential liquidations on borrowed positions. “Asleep” functions exist in the contract to transfer assets in specific ways, and external entities “wake up” the smart contract and call these functions. 

In a nutshell, RoboVault needs Chainlink Keepers to:

• Support automatic yield harvesting to maximize return.
• Call functions when prices fluctuate, and the strategy suddenly becomes at risk of liquidation.

Dvision Network

Finally, the last integration in this week's roundup is a new VR ecosystem — the Dvision Network.

The initial integration with Chainlink leverages the Price Feeds as the primary oracle for the marketplace. This way, users can estimate their expenses when creating NFT items.

Dvision Network will also integrate Chainlink VRF to distribute chance-based rewards to users who accomplish specific tasks.
