Santiment says LINK gained about 24% since Sept. 1 while wallet growth stayed below 2%

Chainlink’s token LINK has risen about 24% since Sept. 1, according to data cited by Techub from Santiment. Over the same period, the number of wallet addresses holding LINK increased by less than 2%. The gap between price performance and address growth suggests the rally was not accompanied by a large wave of new users entering the market. The data point highlights a divergence between token appreciation and holder expansion during the period measured. Techub attributed the figures to Santiment in its report.

Polymarket rolls out Protocol V2 with market migration tentatively set for Nov. 2

Polymarket has introduced Polymarket Protocol V2, describing it as its next-generation smart contract system for prediction markets. The upgrade replaces a structure built on Gnosis’ 2019 conditional tokens framework, where different market types were connected through additional adapters, with a rebuilt design centered on a single ERC1155 position contract, a single collateral asset called pUSD, one exchange, and one router. Position IDs now directly encode market type, market, and outcome. The new protocol uses a modular architecture to support binary markets, atomic negative risk, incremental negative risk, and parlay markets, while expanding position operations to improve capital efficiency. For settlement, V2 connects to pluggable oracle sources through OracleAggregator, including UMA, Chainlink, and future providers. Polymarket also said the protocol includes built-in cross-chain bridging for positions, collateral, and settlement, and can be upgraded through governance. The company added that future development work will focus on scalar settlement and directional collateral refunds. Polymarket said the codebase has been audited by Cantina, Certora, Quantstamp, SigmaPrime, Zellic, and Pashov, with formal verification completed by Certora. The maximum bounty for critical vulnerabilities is $5 million. A canary market is running in production from now through Oct. 30, and new markets are tentatively scheduled to switch on Nov. 2. At the same time, the company launched Data API V2, built on its in-house on-chain indexer with V2 support, a unified response format, and cursor pagination.

Chainlink and Swift demo automated tokenized equity dividend payments across four blockchains

Chainlink used the 2026 Swift Hackathon to present an automated cash dividend payment system for tokenized equities, showing how the process can run across four blockchains from announcement to payment and final reconciliation. The demo combined Swift messaging, the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), and the ISO 20022 standard. According to the report, the setup was designed to coordinate traditional financial market infrastructure with multichain tokenized assets without manual intervention. The demonstration focused on operational challenges tied to corporate actions for tokenized assets such as stocks, especially dividend distribution, and aimed to give institutions a workflow built around familiar interaction standards. Chainlink’s entry placed second in the Swift Hackathon business challenge. The project has not been launched in production and remains a technical demonstration, according to the report, which cited NewsBTC.
