Chainlink’s winning streak doesn’t seem to end anytime soon, as the leading decentralized data oracle service on-boarded the Deutsche Telekom’s partner T-Systems to act as a Chainlink node operator for secure and reliable data provision on Jul 22. The T-Systems latest decision will pave the way for the company, to act as a supporting component of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Web 3.0, by powering nodes, validators, orchestrators, transcoders, witnesses, and block producers.
We’re thrilled to welcome @DeutscheTelekom’s @TSystems_MMS IT Services group to Chainlink. @Tsystemscom’s world-class infrastructure team secures a large amount of enterprise value today & is now on mainnet helping secure Chainlink’s oracle network.— Chainlink – Official Channel (@chainlink) July 22, 2020
The T-Systems will also engage in a form of infrastructure provisioning called “Generalized Mining”, which will allow it to earn incentives in form of digital assets, by providing IT services to the network. They will further support Chainlink operations with their secure infrastructure and plan to support Chainlink’s LINK staking feature, once it goes live.
“Chainlink is the first public blockchain network to which we are currently providing infrastructure and will provide staking services in the future. This brings us a lot closer to our vision of establishing public blockchains as the basis for numerous use-cases” – Dr. Andreas Dittrich, Head of Blockchain Solutions Center of T-Systems Multimedia Solutions
