Chainlink (LINK) is blockchain middleware that aims to connect smart contracts with real-time information from off-chain resources, such as banks and stock exchanges. This allows smart contracts to access data feeds, application programming interfaces (APIs) and traditional bank payment systems that operate outside the blockchain infrastructure.
There are a number of potential applications for this, such as connecting smart contracts with the following information: Central bank interest rates Current exchange rates Off-chain payment methods Shipment and customs data Sports scoresWeather forecasts For example, let’s assume that there’s an Ethereum smart contract that needs to make a payment through PayPal. There’s currently no compatibility between Ethereum and the PayPal API, which is where Chainlink comes in. By linking the smart contract with the PayPal API, it can ensure fast and secure payment. LINK tokens are the cryptocurrency of the Chainlink network. When any company that operates a data feed, payment service or other useful off-chain API connects them to smart contracts through the Chainlink network, that company will receive LINK tokens in exchange.
