This tweet is then fetched by a Chainlink-powered decentralized oracle network, cryptographically hashed, and stored on the Ethereum blockchain to tie it to a specific domain name.<\/p>\n<p>Last, you go into a wallet, type in the blockchain domain, and see the Twitter account displayed before sending money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>ChainLink&#8217;s Price Has Benefited from the PayPal News<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of price action, ChainLink has benefited positively from the news of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/paypal-paxos-partner-to-bring-bitcoin-crypto-to-346m-of-users\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PayPal providing crypto services<\/a> to its users.
