Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE)

Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is a developer platform that lets builders compose modular oracle capabilities into custom cross-chain workflows using Go, TypeScript, and other languages. It re-architects Chainlink's platform into purpose-built decentralized oracle networks (DONs) per capability, coordinated through DON-to-DON communication.
