summary
Runs a Chainlink node on mainnet and currently supplies five price feeds of real‑world pricing data, earning LINK as infrastructure revenue while treating operations like a mini asset fund with custody, tax, and treasury work. Claims this is a form of generalized mining and plans to add more layer‑ones, staking, and value‑added services. Leverages enterprise strengths—enterprise‑grade security, compliance, an own cloud uncorrelated to major public clouds—to sell dependable node infrastructure to DeFi applications.
