FAQ
Chainlink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle network designed to connect smart contracts with real-world data sources. Launched in 2017, Chainlink seeks to provide secure, tamper-proof data feeds that enable blockchain-based applications to interact with external systems. The network consists of independent node operators who retrieve, verify, and deliver off-chain data to smart contracts. By enabling decentralized access to real-world inputs, Chainlink supports various use cases across decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and automated blockchain applications.
Chainlink operates through a decentralized network of oracle nodes that collect, validate, and transmit external data to smart contracts on different blockchain networks. These oracles aggregate data from multiple sources to ensure accuracy before delivering it to smart contracts. The network utilizes staking, where node operators lock LINK tokens as collateral to incentivize honest behavior. Nodes that provide incorrect data risk losing a portion of their staked tokens, reinforcing data integrity and reliability within the ecosystem.
Chainlink supports multiple applications by enabling smart contracts to access real-world data. In DeFi, it provides secure price feeds for lending platforms and decentralized exchanges. In insurance, it verifies real-world events such as weather conditions or flight delays to automate payouts. Gaming and NFT platforms use Chainlink for generating verifiable randomness. Additionally, data providers can monetize their information by offering secure access to smart contracts through the Chainlink network.
Chainlink was co-founded by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis in 2017. Nazarov had previously developed blockchain-related projects, including SmartContract, which aimed to link smart contracts with external data sources. Ellis, a software engineer, co-founded Secure Asset Exchange, a project focused on decentralized asset transfers. Their shared vision for enabling trust-minimized, data-driven smart contracts led to the creation of Chainlink, which has since expanded its partnerships and adoption across blockchain ecosystems.

An Uptober to remember: Crypto markets are rallying — here’s what analysts think might happen next
Could crypto winter finally be over? With BTC, altcoins, and even NFTs getting boosts, “Uptober” lived up to its billing.
Web3 services protocol Chainlink recently passed $11.50 for the first time in 16 months and clocked a gain of over 60% last week.
The month of “Uptober” lived up to its billing, with a number of tokens roaring back to life after months of dormancy. And while nobody can predict the future, some market watchers are more optimistic than they’ve been in a long time — and not just because of the potential for Wall Street to get a spot BTC ETF approved.
