The integration of smart contracts with real-world data through secure oracles, as facilitated by Chainlink, is broadening the potential applications for developers by enabling access to off-chain data and infrastructure. This transformative capability is part of a broader societal shift known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The upcoming Chainlink Hackathon, scheduled from September 7th to 27th, 2020, invites global participation to explore these possibilities, offering the chance to connect with top projects, engineers, and receive support from experienced blockchain developers. Chainlink provides a decentralized oracle network that allows secure connections to various data sources, empowering smart contracts with functionalities such as provably fair random numbers for blockchain-based applications. Participants in the hackathon can compete for over $40,000 in prizes, including bounties paid in LINK tokens, while gaining access to educational resources and workshops to assist in project development.
