Sergey Nazarov’s boldest Chainlink line is circulating again as traders debate whether the oracle network is still being undervalued during one of crypto’s sharpest market drawdowns. The Chainlink co-founder has framed the project as infrastructure built for security first, with the long-term goal of supporting financial systems that may eventually carry tens of trillions of dollars in value. His widely shared line, “They’ll understand it when we power everything,” captures the core argument behind Chainlink: the network is not trying to be another blockchain, but the verification and interoperability layer that connects blockchains, institutions, data providers and tokenized assets.
