Alt Sector Radar · September rebuild

Chainlink has existed since 2019. It cleared our bar this month.

We added one name in September. It is not a new project, and that is the point. Chainlink sat off the Radar for years because pilots are not revenue. This month's review found named institutional integrations sitting behind a figure we could source independently.

The risk, published free
Market capitalisation runs near 160 times trailing revenue. That multiple prices in years of institutional adoption still to convert into fee volume. Pilots and integrations do not yet equal transaction-level revenue at the scale it implies.
The caution sits in the free half. Members get the condition that would take it off the board.
