Sherpa, An AI-Powered DeFi Abstraction Layer, Joins Chainlink Build

We're excited to announce that Sherpa has officially joined the Chainlink Build program. As a part of Build we gain strategic access to Chainlink's decentralized oracle infrastructure. By leveraging key components we can reliably safeguard and supercharge our multilayered aggregation and predictive analytics services, ushering in a new paradigm for cryptoeconomic security in the realm of onchain trading and DeFi automation.

Our team is eager to contribute to the wider Chainlink ecosystem; we look forward to forging valuable connections with service providers, token stakers, and community members to drive collective innovation and create mutual value. We're confident that through enhanced support, secure offchain services, and the support of Chainlink's vibrant community, we can accelerate awareness of Sherpa and deliver our core value proposition in full form.

Sherpa: A New Paradigm for Onchain Aggregation

Our mission is to become the everything aggregator: a nexus point of offchain data, web3 insights, and the rapidly expanding selection of onchain possibilities. This vision materializes through a simplified experience where user intentions—specific or vague—spawn actionable, AI informed, and uniquely tailored strategies that settle trades and DeFi delegations in a trust minimized fashion. In Web3's relentless environment, success hinges on having a thorough outlook and responsive planning. We believe delivering accessible strategies that can promptly embody social sentiment, incorporate advanced TA, and actualize a youtuber's market thesis is essential for wider crypto adoption.

One of our core aims is dissolving the barriers standing between DeFi and those without technical blockchain or trading knowledge. An experience as powerful and intuitive as "Google Flights" but adapted for the web3 landscape. We have truly succeeded when retail users can arrive at our app with only a vague idea and leave with a prescriptive path personalized to their risk tolerance, goals, and interests.

Why We Joined Chainlink Build

Build provides a strong support framework for maximizing the many benefits Chainlink's oracle infrastructure provides. As part of Build, Sherpa will receive key advantages related to security and reliability, including access to and integration of Chainlink Data Feeds, CCIP, Functions, Automation, new product alpha and beta releases, along with various other exclusive benefits. In exchange for these services, Sherpa will make a percentage of its native token supply available to Chainlink service providers, including stakers, over time. These mutually aligned economic incentives enable both communities to support one another.

"We firmly believe the long term value prospects of web3 are critically dependent upon real world economic integration. Chainlink sets the standard for connecting 'real world applications' and crypto native protocols. In this context there is no better partner to have."

-Corey Herynk, Founder / CEO at Hedgemony Labs.
