Chain Link is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts on various blockchain platforms to securely interact with real-world data. It acts as a bridge between blockchain technology and external data sources, allowing developers to create applications that require reliable information from outside the blockchain. By providing accurate and tamper-proof data feeds, Chain Link enhances the functionality of smart contracts and supports various use cases, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), insurance, and supply chain management. Its unique approach helps ensure that blockchain applications can operate effectively in a dynamic environment.
