>Schmidt served as Google’s CEO from 2001 to 2011, overseeing one of the company’s largest and most notable periods of growth. He stayed on as executive chairman until 2017, and technical advisor until 2020. Currently, Schmidt has a net worth of $20 billion, making him the world’s 80th-richest person, according to Forbes.
>But if he were just starting out as a software engineer today, he says, he’d want to work on AI algorithms or Web3.
>Schmidt says his interest in Web3 involves a concept called “tokenomics,” which refers to the specific supply and demand characteristics of cryptocurrencies. Schmidt also notes that Web3 could come with new models for content ownership and new ways of compensating people.
>″[Web3′s] economics are interesting. The platforms are interesting and the use patterns are interesting,” Schmidt says. ”[It] doesn’t work yet, but it will.”

The relationship with Chainlink came about when Nazarov heard through mutual friends that Schmidt, who served as chairman and CEO of Google for 10 years, was interested in oracles, and viewed them as a potential “truth machine”— a way to provide definitive guarantees about an event.
>Schmidt is acting as a technical advisor and helping to build the startup out in “a highly scalable way,” said Nazarov, alongside other Chainlink advisors including DocuSign co-founder Tom Gonser and former LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner.
