SmartCon 2022 showcased advancements in blockchain technology through over 150 speakers and 100 presentations, focusing on the evolution of trust-minimization in Web2 and Web3 ecosystems. Chainlink Labs highlighted their mission to accelerate Web3 innovation by developing the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), which facilitates secure cross-chain communication and token transfers. The event also introduced DECO, a privacy-preserving oracle technology enabling smart contracts to handle sensitive data securely, and Fair Sequencing Services (FSS), designed to mitigate maximal extractable value (MEV) in smart contracts. Off-Chain Reporting (OCR) 2.0 was presented as an upgrade to improve efficiency and scalability for Chainlink Data Feeds across multiple blockchain networks. The conference emphasized the intersection of blockchain research with various disciplines, aiming to establish cryptographic trust as a standard in digital applications.
