• STK and ChainLink
  announced cooperation

Crypto revolutionary project based on oracle ChainLink technology
has long been silent in terms of partnerships, but have intensified theirs
efforts in this field lately. Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network
which allows smart contracts to securely access off-chain data feeds, Web APIs,
and traditional bank payments and their latest collaboration will be focused on the crypt
start-up called STK.

STK wants to create a cryptocurrency for the moment, the point of sale
payments and will try to use the collection / supply of quality data from ChainLink
infrastructure.

"We are pleased to announce
that we will integrate Chainlink, the leading provider of safe oracles,
in our smart contract projects, " commented STK on his Media page. They
also add: "Currently, the smart contracts
you can not verify SWIFT bank transactions or easily connect to off-chain data
feeds and external APIs. These gaps make it difficult to bring blockchain
solutions in the real world, in particular for cryptocurrency payment solutions where
funds must be easily verified. The decentralized Chainlink oracle network
provides a secure solution that can easily connect smart STK contracts to APIs
and send payments from our smart contracts to bank accounts. "

STK is trying to create an operational encrypted payment solution
on the territory of North America where it will be able to provide users
access to their money "anytime and anywhere". The STK token will be used as a
utility in the STACK app to enable real-time transactions with cryptocurrency
through the use of state-channel technology. Read the full announcement on
