Music Royalties, Web3 Gaming

Chainlink is continuing to build relationships in the blockchain space. This week, the dominant smart contract oracle network announced partnerships with a music-oriented protocol and a Web3 gaming incubator.

In this week’s roundup:

• Picardy Protocol integrates Chainlink Automation.
• Chainlink Labs announces strategic partnership with Icetea Labs.

Picardy Integrates Automation

Picardy Protocol has integrated Chainlink Automation on Poygon to secure and streamline its royalty payout process.

“Integrating Chainlink into the heart of our protocol helps enable us to create performant and secure hybrid contracts that leverage the decentralization benefits of Web3 technology,” Picardy Co-Founder Joshua Obigwe said in a Medium post.

Picardy is a Web3 protocol built to enable music artists and creators to raise funds and grow their communities.

After the protocol launches on Polygon, Picardy plans to integrate Automation as it expands to other networks such as Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum and Avalanche, as well into the project’s music distribution platform.

Icetea Labs Accelerator Program

Icetea Labs and Chainlink announced a strategic partnership to accelerate development in the Web3 gaming sector.

“We are determined to foster the growth of the space, providing a comprehensive ecosystem for founders and teams to develop their products and bring actual value to dedicated users,” according to an Icetea blog post.

Icetea is a leading Web3 gaming incubator in Asia that invests in early-stage startups and also offers a platform for companies to launch and grow.

By joining Icetea’s Accelerator Program, Icetea’s network of startups will have access to Chainlink services. Additionally, Chainlink will provide selected startups with enhanced marketing support and will potentially be a bridge between startups and investors or business partners in its network.
