Chainlink Verifiable Random Function helps power Metalink’s simple, secure, and entirely random giveaways for NFT collections, starting with Deadfellaz.
Metalink, the social app for NFT communities, announced today that it has integrated Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) on Ethereum mainnet to provide cryptographic randomness to platform giveaways.
Chainlink VRF brings tamper-proof randomness to smart contract applications, helping ensure that Metalink’s collectors can independently verify giveaway competitions. Metalink is backing the company’s commitment to its collector base by using industry-leading technology from Chainlink for enhanced transparency.
*“Metalink’s number-one priority is to provide our communities with a unique and safe NFT social platform. With Chainlink VRF, our collectors can enter giveaways in a single click, while also knowing we’re using a technology that prioritizes fairness and transparency to determine winners.” **-***Jake Udell, CEO and Founder of Metalink
Today, we’re excited to announce our newest integration with Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF) to create a new standard for NFT giveaways! ⚡️
What Does This Mean and Why Is This Important?
Giveaways are one of the best ways for NFT projects to grow their following and add value to their communities.
If you asked most NFT projects what day they would launch their project, they would PROBABLY NOT choose Friday the 13th.
But that’s exactly what Deadfellaz did back in August 2021…
Since the very start, DeadFellaz has been bucking the trends and doing things differently than most projects.
*One of the first projects to do a proper presale to help avoid gas fees.
NFT communities deserve a safe and secure place where they can connect and thrive.
We’re thrilled to announce the most important partnership since we created Metalink.
Metalink is proudly partnering with OpenSea, the world’s first and largest NFT marketplace, to do what we do best… provide secure channels of communication to NFT communities.
With this new partnership, owners of Metalink’s supported collections will be able to chat directly with OpenSea… To get support, offer feedback, and receive updates. ⚡️
Today we’re excited to announce a new feature that many of you have been waiting for!
Say hello to Search! 🔎
As Metalink has grown from a small private chat of 300 OG punks (you know who you are!) to tens of thousand users over the last few months, it’s no longer a quick scroll in the park to find your friends in the members lists…
It was March 2020 and Mike was in a tough spot.
Covid had taken the world by storm and life had been locked down.
As the founder of Monstercat, Canada’s largest independent electronic music label, Mike was suddenly getting calls from artists asking for help.
Concerts and tours had come to an abrupt stop. Agents and venues weren’t booking. And artists were getting worried...
Our team caught COVID over the weekend… 🤧
Half the team is down with a fever 🤒
But the Metalink magic burns strong 🔥
Despite the Grinchy Omicron trying to steal our shine, our team has been pushing through, quaran-grinding to make it happen 😤
Today, we’re excited to announce Metalink now supports Multiple Wallets.
You can now attach more than one wallet to your account and verify your holdings on each one.
3 Reasons Why This Is A Big Deal

Today, we're excited to roll out Metalink's Launchpad and our FIRST official partner collection with Coolman's Universe by Coolman Coffeedan!
First, we should introduce Launchpad. It’s the place where we will highlight any new collections that catch our eye:
Our goal with Launchpad is to get you early access to the most exciting new NFT projects, while simultaneously helping creators reach a larger audience.
I remember it like it was yesterday... Sitting at dinner with Ivan Soto-Wright — the CEO of Moonpay— telling me how he had just bought his first CryptoPunk… And how difficult it had been to reach CryptoPunk owners...
And then, he suggested we launch Metalink as a chat app for CryptoPunks.
A chat where you can see the NFTs people own and message them in the same app.. One that is free of the spam and fraud so rampant on existing platforms.
