MatrixedLink

Great meeting everyone at the Superteam Balkan event in Belgrade. Thanks to the team for organizing and bringing together builders from across the region. Part of our team is based in Mostar, if you're ever nearby, feel free to visit our office.

MatrixedLink has achieved ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), effective February 03, 2026. This milestone reflects the implementation of internationally recognized security and risk management controls across our core infrastructure operations, supporting enterprise and regulated deployments. As blockchain infrastructure increasingly intersects with traditional financial environments, alignment with global information security standards becomes essential for production-grade integration. We remain focused on delivering enterprise-grade reliability with structured operational oversight.

Chainlink CRE going live is more than a product launch ! It reflects where on-chain execution is heading: more structure, clearer guarantees and higher expectations around reliability. As a Chainlink node operator, we support CRE workloads at the infrastructure layer, ensuring consistency and performance as teams begin building with it. Solid execution starts with solid infrastructure.

Nasdaq and CME Group launching a crypto index together is more than a headline. It highlights a quiet shift: institutional crypto exposure is increasingly index-driven, rules-based and data-dependent. The index announced by Nasdaq and CME Group includes BTC, ETH, LINK and a select group of other digital assets designed for institutional benchmarks rather than retail trading. Asset selection matters here. Including LINK reflects the growing role of data and oracle infrastructure as foundational components of crypto markets, not just speculative instruments. Beyond the assets, this model depends on something institutions already understand well: reproducible market state, reliable pricing inputs and systems that remain predictable under volatility.

State pricing has gained traction as more assets become DEX-dominant. When liquidity lives onchain, recent trades alone stop being a reliable signal. Pricing needs to reflect the current state of liquidity, not just execution history. When people talk about state pricing, they usually focus on the pricing logic. In practice, most of the complexity sits below that layer. State pricing depends on: - Continuous, low-latency access to the on-chain state. - Deterministic reads across many pools, DEXs and chains. - Stable behavior during congestions, reorgs and RPC degradation. At scale, this isn’t a “query a pool and compute a price” problem. It’s a distributed systems problem. You’re reading end-of-block state, coordinating data across chains and DEXes; handling partial failures, retry storms and inconsistent views of the chain. All while downstream systems assume the price feed is always stable. Most issues don’t come from bad math. They come from stale reads or overloaded RPCs. MatrixedLink operates blockchain infrastructure in exactly these conditions. High performance RPCs, multi-chain state ingestion, monitoring and redundancy. That operational baseline is what allows state-based pricing systems to keep producing clean data.

Incident response is the test of blockchain infrastructure. In production environments, failures are not theoretical. They are operational events that require clear ownership, fast escalation and disciplined communication. For institutional users, the key questions during an incident are rarely technical: Who is accountable? How quickly is the issue acknowledged? What is the escalation path? How is impact assessed and communicated? When is normal operation restored? Decentralized systems do not remove the need for incident response, they make it more complex. As blockchain infrastructure becomes embedded in trading, data delivery and market operations, expectations around incident handling are converging with traditional financial infrastructure standards.

Grateful to see MatrixedLink ranked #1 on Polygon for delegator growth this month. Thanks to everyone delegating and supporting our infrastructure 🤝

Latest Polygon Labs validator performance metrics are out by ValidatorInfo. MatrixedLink ranked #1 for Heimdall performance over the past month. Consistent measurement and transparency are essential for validator operations. Thanks to ValidatorInfo for making this data publicly accessible.

Even on January 1st, infrastructure keeps running. We’ll continue operating 24/7 to support mission-critical blockchain systems throughout 2026 and beyond. New releases, new chains and powerful upgrades are coming!

This year brought a lot of hard work, important milestones and meaningful partnerships for MatrixedLink. We’re grateful to everyone who relied on us to operate critical infrastructure; from oracle operations to institutional-grade blockchain systems. Thank you to our partners, clients and collaborators for the trust and co-operation throughout the year. We wish everyone a happy, healthy and successful New Year !
