Chainlink
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely access off-chain data feeds, web APIs, and traditional bank payments. It acts as a bridge between blockchains and external data sources, allowing smart contracts to interact with real-world information. Founded in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis, Chainlink launched on the Ethereum mainnet in May 2019 and has since become the industry-standard oracle solution used by the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and financial institutions.
