Plasm, a sensible contract protocol constructed on Polkadot’s Substrate framework, has built-in Chainlink’s (LINK) worth feeds. Apparently, the oracle challenge itself will doubtless quickly turn into a Polkadot parachain.
Polkadot has a modular design whereby varied parachains serve specific use instances. Its mainnet doesn’t have sensible contracts, however Plasm hopes to fill this void.
Plasm CEO, Sota Watanabe, advised Cointelegraph that they intend to make use of Chainlink’s knowledge oracles for Plasm’s Lockdrop — a token distribution mechanism pioneered by Edgeware. In an effort to obtain Plasm’s tokens, a person must lock Ether or Bitcoin in a sensible contract. In return, the person receives a certain quantity of Plasm’s native tokens. The payout is proportional to each the quantity of belongings allotted and the period of the lockup. On the finish of the lockup interval, the person will get their crypto belongings again, together with their newly issued Plasm tokens. Soto stated:
“If in case you have an ETH or Bitcoin, you must lock your ETH on the Ethereum or you must lock your Bitcoin on the Bitcoin community. So we have to get the worth of Ethereum and Bitcoin on the Plasm community to problem some coin.”
Sota stated that when Chainlink turns into a Polkadot parachain, it ought to solely serve to make the Plasm community extra succesful. Though Polkadot helps knowledge sharing between parachains, real-life purposes nonetheless require data from different chains or from exterior centralized sources:
“As soon as they join their blockchain to Polkadot, we will get knowledge and ship knowledge from the Chainlink blockchain to the Plasm community.”
Regardless of the modular design of Polkadot and the truth that a few of its parachains might combine Chainlink’s oracles, there nonetheless seems to be a necessity for native integration.
