What Is Chainlink (LINK)? Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that connects smart contracts with real-world data, enabling DeFi applications and advanced blockchain automation.

A decentralized oracle network that acts as a bridge between smart contracts and real-world data. It securely retrieves off-chain information, such as market prices or weather data, and delivers it on-chain so contracts can respond to external events.

Data Feed Oracle: Used to pay node operators to deliver smart contracts secure, tamper-resistant access to real-world data such as price feeds, weather, and sports results.

Oracle Incentive: Node operators are paid in tokens to retrieve and validate real-world data for smart contracts. Reputation and staking mechanics help signal reliability to data users.
