🌐Chainlink Integration

Evil Kongs is excited to announce that we have integrated Chainlink Automation on Polygon mainnet to automate staking reward distributions to Evil Kongs NFT holders. Chainlink Automation is powered by a decentralized network of nodes with a proven history of reliability and security, removing centralized points of failure and unlocking optimal management of staking reward distributions.

We decided to decentralize Evil Kongs staking rewards distribution functions using Chainlink Automation because it is operated by the same pool of time-tested, provably reliable node operators that currently help secure tens of billions of dollars in DeFi, even during record levels of network congestion and extreme volatility. The proven infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every smart contract execution is executed on-time in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.

To create an optimal experience, we sought an automation solution that would enable the smart contract to systematically distribute staking rewards without any manual intervention. Unfortunately, smart contracts cannot run automatically.

After examining various keeper solutions, we ultimately decided to use Chainlink Automation because they provide several advantageous features:

• Decentralized Execution — Chainlink Automation provides reliable, trust-minimized automation with no single point of failure, mitigating risks around manual processes and centralized servers.

• Increased Efficiency — Projects that use Chainlink Automation are able to reduce time spent on DevOps, minimize operational overhead, and streamline development workflows.

• Enhanced Security — Tamper-proof, Sybil-resistant Chainlink Automation sign on-chain transactions themselves, enabling automated smart contract execution without exposing private keys.

• Easy-to-use — Developers are able to schedule time-based automation jobs in seconds using the Chainlink Automation Job Scheduler’s no-code UI.

“Many of the members of the Evil Kongs community are new to the Web3 space, so it’s important that we make their first experiences as smooth and enjoyable as possible. The proven reliability of Chainlink Automation will help us in our mission to bring new opportunities to millions of people in the Web3 community.” — Brandon Arellano (Pixelart Soldier), Founder of Evil Kongs.
