Chainlink

Chainlink (LINK) was launched in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis as a decentralized oracle network that connects smart contracts with real-world data, enabling blockchain applications to access off-chain information like price feeds, weather data, and sports scores. As the infrastructure layer bridging blockchains with external systems, Chainlink has become essential to the DeFi ecosystem by providing reliable, tamper-proof data that powers lending protocols, derivatives platforms, and automated trading systems.

The Chainlink ecosystem consists of thousands of independent node operators who earn LINK tokens for delivering data, alongside a growing network of data providers, blockchain integrations, and enterprise partnerships. Major DeFi protocols like Aave, Compound, and Synthetix rely on Chainlink's price feeds, while traditional companies including Google Cloud, Oracle, and SWIFT have explored integrations with Chainlink's oracle services.

At CoinDesk, we provide in-depth Chainlink news coverage tracking oracle network expansions, enterprise partnerships, and the critical role of reliable data infrastructure in blockchain adoption. Our reporting covers everything from new Chainlink integrations and LINK tokenomics to the broader implications of oracle technology for Web3 development and traditional finance integration.
