OP from >>22296765 here
Here's some more bullish news for you
Looks like the LINK token is finally being implemented on other blockchains. Yes you could use the external initiator to initate Ethereum LINK job runs from other blockchains, however here you see LINK finally able to be minted (deposited) on other blockchains by locking it on the ETH. To unlock the LINK on that blockchain you can burn (withdraw) it on that chain to get it back to ETH LINK. This is the first instance of this so far that I know of - now you will have LINK (Matic), LINK (DOT), LINK (XTZ) and so on - all of these blockchains will require LINK to be locked up, further reducing the supply, and this is consistent with Thomas' vision a year ago.
