Chainlink

Chainlink is the industry standard for building, accessing, and selling oracle services needed to power hybrid smart contracts on any blockchain. Chainlink oracle networks enable smart contracts to connect to any external API and leverage secure offchain computations for feature-rich applications. Chainlink currently secures tens of billions of dollars across DeFi, insurance, gaming, and other major industries, and offers global enterprises and leading data providers a universal gateway to all blockchains.

  1. Data Streams: Provides high-frequency market data and enables automated trades.
  2. VRF (Verifiable Random Function): Ensures secure and tamper-proof random numbers for smart contracts.
  3. Automation: Decentralized network automating smart contracts, ensuring safety and efficiency.
  4. CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol): Facilitates secure cross-chain data and token transfers.
  5. Functions: Grants smart contracts access to a trust-minimized compute infrastructure.
  6. Data Feeds: Connects smart contracts with real-world data like asset prices, NFT floor prices, and more, enhancing decentralized applications' functionality and reliability.
