#Chainlink

Chainlink’s always been the oracle backbone of DeFi, but now it’s expanding beyond that. With new updates like Transporter and Payment Abstraction, Chainlink is enabling seamless cross-chain data feeds and frictionless transaction routing using LINK tokens as gas.

Major institutions are now using Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve to verify asset-backed tokens. From tokenized treasuries to global shipping data, it’s trusted tech with real-world presence.

Chainlink Functions let developers run external APIs directly inside smart contracts, meaning use cases like insurance, weather markets, and tokenized real estate just got easier to automate. Chainlink’s push into enterprise continues, with new partnerships in logistics, finance, and AI.

Why did this coin make it to this list? Because Chainlink is the data pipeline feeding tomorrow’s DeFi, TradFi, and real-world asset ecosystems.
