Chainlink is an ecosystem kingmaker, why should its services be given away for free? 2,000+ Chainlink oracle networks across 75+ blockchains are responsible for securing $77B+ in DeFi TVL for 484 active protocols Every single one of these oracle networks maintain the highest level of security and reliability, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, across every chain deployment This includes operating without incident even during the most extreme market volatility (e.g., Oct 10), blockchain network congestion (e.g., 1,000x Ethereum gas spikes), and third-party service outages (RPC, data providers, cloud providers, CDNs, etc) This level of reliability is why Chainlink has an oracle market-share of 70%+ across all the chains it operates on (80%+ on Ethereum and 90%+ on L2s) Chainlink has a proven track-record of securely enabling over $27 trillion in transaction value over the past half-decade, providing the most robust data oracle and cross-chain interop infra available on the market All of this should be given away for free? When you create something valuable, are you not allowed to ensure it's economic sustainability? When a chain is able to generate millions in revenue from tx fees and MEV from its DeFi economy, should the oracle network infra that secures that DeFi economy not earn a fair share? Are blockchain ecosystems allowed to have a dev team who can make deals with other dev teams, but not oracle ecosystems? You can choose to cheap out on your oracle provider if you so choose, but you will responsible for explaining to your users what happened to their money when an oracle exploit occurs
