Description
Chainlink is an open-source oracle network driven by a large community of data providers, node operators, smart contract developers, researchers, and security auditors. It allows data providers to sell their existing data and API services to the smart contract economy with minimal costs. Node operators, the backbone of the network, run and maintain the oracle infrastructure, providing computation directly to smart contracts across any blockchain and earning revenue for their services. The ecosystem also includes community-built resources like Chainlink Market and Fiews to support developers and users.
