The Chainlink Community Grant Program aims to support the rapid growth of the Chainlink ecosystem by providing financial resources to development teams, researchers, and developers creating essential tooling, data, and services for the Chainlink Network. A recent grant recipient, Professor Xiao Wang, a notable researcher in computer security and cryptography, will collaborate with Chainlink Labs on the development of DECO's privacy-preserving oracle technology to enhance the network's capacity to handle private and premium data for Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 applications. Wang's work focuses on applied cryptography and multi-party computation, and he has been recognized with multiple awards for his research. The program seeks to empower the community to advance hybrid smart contracts and secure oracle networks, contributing to Chainlink's rapid expansion. The grants are available in cash and/or LINK, and interested parties are encouraged to apply.
