Chainlink is the industry-standard decentralized oracle network that solves the oracle problem by connecting smart contracts with real-world data. Blockchains cannot access external information on their own, so Chainlink acts as a secure bridge, enabling smart contracts to react to real-world events using verified, tamper-proof data.
It is widely considered one of the first decentralized oracle networks and is the market leader in bringing off-chain data on-chain. Chainlink offers Data Feeds for asset prices, CCIP for cross-chain token transfers and messaging, Automation for triggering smart contract functions, and Proof of Reserve for verifying asset collateralization.
The LINK token is the native asset used to pay node operators for services, fund subscription accounts, and incentivize network security through staking. Chainlink was co-founded in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis, who co-authored the white paper with Ari Juels, and raised $32 million in its September 2017 ICO.
Chainlink launched on September 16, 2017.
