Overview: What is Chainlink (LINK)?

Chainlink (LINK) is a cross-chain interoperability protocol project built on the Ethereum blockchain network. Chainlink’s token, or cryptocurrency, is LINK, and this powers the project. At the moment, blockchain networks are disconnected; each has its own rules and characteristics, so one blockchain application doesn’t directly integrate with the next.

 

Interoperability is very important for mainstream adoption as consumers and businesses using blockchain applications will need to use them seamlessly, much in the way that today’s internet works.

What Makes Chainlink (LINK) Unique?

Chainlink is a decentralized blockchain oracle network (DON) that enables smart contracts to communicate securely and share data with other blockchain networks and with current conventional software and services.

When Did Chainlink Start?

The idea for Chainlink was developed in 2017 by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis, and the network was formally launched in 2019. The aim was for Chainlink to act as a “bridge” between different blockchains and “off-chain.”

How to Buy Chainlink (LINK) Tokens?

LINK tokens are available on major cryptocurrency exchanges. The coin isn’t as popular, to date, as many other cryptocurrencies, and it’s not seen as a store of value like Bitcoin, so it won’t be available on every exchange. The value of the Chainlink cryptocurrency, LINK, can be assessed on a Chainlink price chart. The Chainlink crypto price might vary slightly from exchange to exchange.

How is the Price of Chainlink Determined?

The price of Chainlink crypto coin depends on supply and demand both in the wider market and on the exchanges that list the coin. Because Chainlink’s ultimate success relies on the adoption of its technology, its performance as a decentralized oracle network will affect the Chainlink crypto price prediction.

The developer’s plans are to answer issues of transaction costs for DApp creators, if successful, this could help to secure Chainlink’s future.

Who is the Chainlink founder?

Chainlink’s founders are Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis. Nazarov is one of the people to have been suspected of being Bitcoin’s mysterious creator Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin’s creator is still unknown. Chainlink’s co-founder Ellis also co-founded Secure Asset Exchange.
