Primary-source asset brief

What is Chainlink?

Chainlink connects smart contracts with external data, systems and cross-chain messages. LINK is used in parts of its economics to compensate service providers and as stake backing certain oracle guarantees.

LINK is an application-network token rather than the gas asset of its own general-purpose layer-one chain. Demand therefore depends on paid oracle usage, service economics and how value flows through the network.

Common misconception

Chainlink is not a blockchain competing to host every application; it is an interoperability and oracle layer used by multiple chains.
