The **Chainlink (LINK)** token is a digital currency used in the Chainlink network, which acts as a bridge between smart contracts on the blockchain and the real world. LINK works to provide these contracts with reliable data from outside the network (such as currency prices or weather conditions) through a system known as "oracles." Chainlink is one of the leading projects in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space, and it is used by many applications to provide accurate and secure data.
