About Chainlink
How Chainlink works
Chainlink powers a decentralised oracle network that feeds real-world data (prices, events, randomness) to smart contracts on many blockchains. A network of independent node operators is paid in LINK to deliver and secure that data.
What is Chainlink used for?
LINK is used to pay node operators and secure the network; the project's value is tied to how much value across DeFi depends on its data feeds.
Risks & considerations
All crypto-assets are volatile and high-risk; never invest more than you can afford to lose. Specific risks include data-feed manipulation, node collusion and over-reliance of DeFi on a single oracle provider.
