FilSwan Joins Chainlink BUILD

FilSwan has joined the BUILD program to accelerate the adoption of its cross-chain decentralized storage and compute solution.

“We are excited to join Chainlink BUILD, which will help us expand the usage of our Web3 storage and compute solution. The Chainlink Network underpins the multichain ecosystem, and its support will help us rapidly gain users for our platform,” FilSwan Founder Charles Cao said in an announcement. “Ultimately, we aim to complement Chainlink oracle services with backend infrastructure that supports a thriving cross-chain blockchain ecosystem.”

FilSwan is building a cross-chain platform to help Web3 projects integrate data, edge computing, bandwidth, and payments, with the goal of decentralizing and democratizing data storage and computing online.

FilSwan already uses Chainlink Price Feeds on its multichain.storage platform, and plans to integrate Automation into its decentralized computing platform LagrangeDao.

As part of BUILD, FilSwan will gain access to new alpha and beta product releases, to dedicated technical support, and more.

In return, FilSwan will commit a portion of its total token supply to Chainlink service providers, including stakers.

Karto Cars NFT Mint

Karto Cars has integrated VRF on Ethereum to ensure a fair mint of its Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).

“The team and I decided to use Chainlink VRF so that our community understands we made the minting process as fair and transparent as possible. Our goal was to ensure that every player has a fair chance of minting the rarest NFTs, and Chainlink VRF is the best solution to accomplish that!” CEO Najib EL Hayek said in a Medium post.

Karto Cars is a Free-to-Play/Play-to-Earn racing game available on the App Store and Google Play Store. The mobile phone game features a collection of 2,500 retrofitted car NFTs.
