Wireshape Integrates Chainlink Automation To Power Rewards Distributions and NFT Minting

We’re excited to announce that Wireshape — Web3 ecosystem dedicated to decentralizing global product data and introducing augmented reality (AR) to e-commerce — has integrated Chainlink Automation live on Polygon mainnet. We are leveraging Chainlink Automation to securely and cost-efficiently trigger our rewards distributions and the minting and updating of product-based NFTs. As a result, our users reliably receive rewards and get access to NFTs with transparent and high-integrity product data.

We decided to use Chainlink Automation to power Wireshape’s on-chain operations because it is the most reliable Web3 automation service. The Chainlink Automation Network is operated by the same pool of time-tested, provably reliable node operators that currently help secure tens of billions of dollars in DeFi, even during record levels of network congestion and extreme volatility. The proven infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every transaction is executed on time in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.

Wireshape is a new layer-1 public blockchain that’s fully committed to introducing a new tokenized, transparent data standard that decentralizes global product information like barcodes and product descriptions. Consumers and manufacturers are able to suggest and validate the fidelity of product information that is publicly recorded on the blockchain. To help with the transition from Web2 to Web3, and from 2D graphics to immersive 3D graphics, Wireshape provides easy-to-implement APIs and tools for previewing products in augmented reality, providing a better shopping experience that increases customer engagement.

Since day one, the Wireshape network has been built to operate in conjunction with Ethereum and Polygon. To help power our operations on Polygon, Wireshape needed robust infrastructure capable of automating transactions for its on-chain operations, which include minting NFTs that provide product AR/3D visualizationproduct information and rewards distribution to contributors and DAO members. Chainlink Automation proved to be the right choice for this solution, helping to reduce the time and cost that otherwise would be spent on in-house automation development.

Chainlink Automation is a decentralized service purpose-built to manage tasks on behalf of smart contracts. Chainlink Automation leverages decentralized, hyper-reliable, and economically incentivized automation nodes to wake up smart contracts when they need to perform critical on-chain functions, which usually take place at regular time intervals (e.g., every day at the same time) or based on external events (e.g., when an asset hits a specific price).

Some of the notable features of Chainlink Automation include:

• Highly reliable, performant, and decentralized automation — Chainlink Automation ensures transactions are identified and confirmed quickly, even during periods of heavy network congestion by leveraging Chainlink’s battle-tested transaction manager.
• Time-tested infrastructure that helps save costs — Chainlink Automation enables us to eliminate in-house automation infrastructure costs, reduce resources spent on DevOps, and increase speed and efficiency.
• Built to enable faster scaling — Chainlink Automation enables us to scale faster and avoid the challenges that come with building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to reliably automate across multiple chains.
• Unlocks new use cases — With smart contract automation, we’re able to explore new use cases and unlock capabilities that would otherwise not have been possible.

“We chose to integrate Chainlink Automation because it brings speed and efficiency to the development process and day-to-day operations, which is fundamental for early-stage Web3 startups like Wireshape that need to be agile and scalable.” — Cristiano Policarpo, Wireshape Founder
