#LINK
Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network designed to expand the functionality and reliability of smart contracts on the blockchain by providing them with real-world data and off-chain computations.
The native cryptocurrency of Chainlink, the LINK token, belongs to the category of infrastructure tokens. Such projects are focused on enhancing the functionality, efficiency, and security of blockchains and their applications (dApp).
In particular, Chainlink falls into the category of oracle tokens and aims to extend the utility of smart contracts by allowing them to access data from the real world. This can include information about the weather or the results of sporting events. This is particularly useful for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, NFTs, and games that enable earning (GameFi).
