**CHAINLINK BTC BLOODBATH UPDATE**

**CHAINLINK BTC BLOODBATH UPDATE**
Seems that everyone is distracted from what really matters during this crashening. Important Chainlink news threads are sliding out of the catalogue due to people making threads about price/btc dumping and so on. So here is an update - all important LINK news in one place. Please keep this thread alive and do not get distracted by Link price threads too. There is a lot to discuss here so let's get started.

>RIF is a suite of open and decentralized infrastructure protocols that enable faster, easier and scalable development of distributed applications (dApps) within a unified environment.
Seems to be similar to Zeppelin OS: basically more confirmation that Chainlink will become the backbone of all smart contract toolkits.

>Chainlink will provide first secure random number generator, the "holy grail" of cryptography:

Overall assessment: still bullish on Link.
