The Concept of Chainlink Metalayer 

Blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize many industries, but it faces one key obstacle: the complexity of integrating with the real world. To use data and computations from the real world, decentralized apps need a reliable and secure way to access that data.

At Deepbase, as long-time Chainlink Node Operators, we know the complexity and precision needed for a reliable system of cross-chain and Web2-to-Web3 data transfers, and we also see the benefits of such a system. The Metalayer concept is a big upgrade to this system, so we want to share our finds about it.

What is Metalayer?

By definition, the Metalayer is a layer of layers. In a nutshell, it is an ecosystem of products or services that logically complement each other. In traditional spheres, there are few examples of such concepts. Imagine Adobe producing smartphones, cloud-based Photoshop and Premiere to edit the captures, and its social network to publish them without using third-party products — it would be a Metalayer.

Chainlink is the first company to develop a Metalayer that achieves a proposed full cycle of services, from data provision to data distribution.

3 Core Principles of Chainlink Metalayer

Chainlink Metalayer is a comprehensive ecosystem. It provides developers with access to data, computation, and connectivity, giving them everything to build a better dApp in one place.

Chainlink Metalayer is built on the core principles:

• Decentralization. All products and services in Chainlink Metalayer are decentralized, which ensures security and reliability.
• Transparency. All data and computations in Chainlink Metalayer are transparent, allowing users to verify their accuracy.
• Efficiency. Chainlink Metalayer provides high efficiency, enabling developers to create DApps and other products that run fast and reliably.

Access to Data

Chainlink Metalayer provides developers with access to a wide range of data from the real world. This data can be sourced from various sources, including APIs, databases, and IoT sensors. Chainlink uses cutting-edge technologies such as smart contracts and cryptography to ensure the accuracy and security of data.

Computation

Chainlink Metalayer also provides developers with access to computational resources. These resources can be used to perform complex computations that are necessary for the operation of DApps. Chainlink uses a decentralized network of nodes to ensure the scalability and reliability of computations.

Connectivity

Chainlink Metalayer also provides connectivity between different DApps and other applications. It enables developers to create complex decentralized systems that interact with each other. Chainlink uses cryptography to ensure the security and reliability of connectivity.

How Chainlink Metalayer Helps Developers Create DApps

Chainlink Metalayer helps developers with everything they need to create DApps. By combining Chainlink Products, developers can fetch accurate data, compute it, and source the results to other chains or systems.

By combining these three, the devs will have more time to think about their dApp logic and not about where to get data or random values. This is what makes Chainlink so valuable for the future of the blockchain ecosystem — it is a one-stop for all services needed.

How Chainlink Metalayer can be used to create DApps:

• Decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Chainlink Metalayer can be used to create DeFi applications that provide users with access to financial services without the need for intermediaries. For example, Chainlink can be used to create decentralized exchanges, decentralized banks, and decentralized insurance companies.
• Metaverse games. Chainlink Metalayer can be used to create metaverse games that provide users with access to real-world data and computations. For example, Chainlink can be used to create games in which users can purchase virtual real estate tied to real-world real estate, or play games in which the outcome depends on data from the real world.
• Infrastructure applications. Chainlink Metalayer can be used to create infrastructure apps that ensure the security and reliability of various systems. For example, Chainlink can be used to create identity management systems, access control systems, and monitoring systems.

Conclusion

Chainlink Metalayer is a powerful ecosystem that provides developers with everything they need to create decentralized applications. It is built on three core principles: decentralization, transparency, and efficiency. Chainlink Metalayer helps developers create DApps that work fast, reliable, and secure.
