Network.
Integrating
@Chainlink
into PANIC is a natural step in fulfilling our vision of developing a standard blockchain infrastructure monitoring solution, allowing operators to monitor their systems inc. Ethereum nodes, hardware and price feeds in an easy to setup and use platform.
We’re thrilled to award a grant to
