Attention Chainlink Labs Job Seekers:

Fake recruiter scams have become increasingly common on LinkedIn, especially in the Web3 space. All official Chainlink Labs recruiters should have the Verifications symbol next to their name. When you click the symbol you will see a workplace verification that indicates, “Chainlink Labs: Verified using work email.” 

If you are contacted by a LinkedIn profile that does not carry this verification but claims to be a recruiter with Chainlink Labs, we recommend you do not interact with these individuals, e.g., responding to requests for additional information, clicking on links, filling out forms, etc. We appreciate your continued collaboration in helping to keep our community and ecosystem safe.

Blockchain x finance news: Action plan for tokenization in Europe released by AFME, which highlights the need for greater interoperability.

The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) published a report on digital finance. While digital asset issuance has increased significantly over the past four years, AFME highlighted the need for greater tokenization and DLT adoption in capital markets. 

“Adoption of DLT-based securities is reaching a turning point,” noted the report. “Developing and scaling up use cases will require market participants to work together to build consensus on common standards, aligned and compatible technology architecture designs leading to greater interoperability of infrastructures and solutions.”
