Chainlink brings us election results into blockchain everipedia

Everipedia Chainlink Nodes will provide smart contracts with access to U.S. election data , The data is supported by encryption proof , Smart contract developers can create new financial products based on the outcome of the upcoming U.S. presidential election , For example, forecasting the market , Derivatives, etc , All of these can create 、 Execution and settlement . Highest reliability .

utilize Chainlink Of oracle Infrastructure , Can let Associated Press Sign and publish U.S. election results on multiple different blockchains at the same time , To achieve this integration . By providing high-quality data from the chain of agencies like the Associated Press , And provide a strong guarantee for the source of such data , our Chainlink The node is DeFi And other areas have created a new world of use cases . 

Due to the inherent security of blockchain , Smart contract cannot communicate with offline system locally . therefore , They can't retrieve external data from the real world and use it to trigger on chain transactions . contrary , They need another one called “ oracle” Infrastructure for , The infrastructure acts as a way to transfer data between two environments “ middleware ”.

therefore ,oracle It's the gateway to smart contracts , To understand what's going on in the real world outside the blockchain , Whatever the market price , Internet of things data , Sports competition results , Or the election results . 

Chainlink Some of the features include ：

• Signature data -Chainlink The node encrypts and signs each data sent in the chain , So that we can provide clear evidence on the chain , Prove that our data comes directly from its claimed source . 
• Sell to any blockchain - chain Link nodes are essentially And blocks Chain independence , So you can integrate it locally To any block In the chain , To create a gateway , We can sell it to all the blockchains that exist now and in the future .
• Huge user market -Chainlink The network is the most widely used in the blockchain ecosystem oracle Solution , Has been led by many DeFi Participants used , To ensure that our data already has a huge potential user market .
• Proven security -Chainlink It's open source software that has been fully audited , Can collectively ensure billions of dollars of value for real-time applications , Demonstrate its ability to protect and trigger real economic value .

especially , Signed data is critical for developers and end users , They have to make it clear that U.S. election data come directly from highly trusted sources AP. since 1848 Since then , The associated press has been tracking the country in the United States , Elections at the state and local levels .AP For the first time ever, data will be signed encrypted , And pass Everipedia Of Chainlink Supported by oracle-as-service Publish data directly on the blockchain , For use by smart contract applications . The data will come directly from the Associated Press API,Everipedia Will have through our Chainlink oracle Node's exclusive right to publish this information .

With the adoption of blockchain technology in the next few years and the growth in practical use , The need for information from the outside world to execute transactions will continue to grow . The reliable and reliable real data sources that these blockchains can use are essential to drive space forward . therefore , We plan to use Chainlink To support our “ Oracle Namely service ” frame , And continue to expand our services by providing more high-quality data providers across many different blockchains and markets . By making world-famous organizations （ Such as AP） stay Everipedia Sign and publish data on , And by the Chainlink Provide support , We will be able to build a credible economic and political system , And redefine society .
