Chainlink is a decentralized network of oracles that provide real-world data from off-chain sources to on-chain smart contracts applications. As of Q1 2022, Chainlink has powered web3 innovation by supporting 900+ decentralized oracle networks with over 2 billion data points, more than 65 million on-chain calls, 4.4 million+ randomness requests and 20k+ automated transactions. Chainlink’s native token is LINK and its utility is used to pay node operators to access oracle services as well as incentivising oracle service providers to provide data assurance and maintain the integrity of the network.
LINK’s all-time high (ATH) price peaked at around $52 in September 2021 and is currently trading at around $7.50 with a fully diluted market cap of about $7.5 billion. Even though prices have fallen 85% from its highs, there is renewed enthusiasm in Chainlink as the team released a blog post in June with regards to a revised roadmap in 2022 and the highly anticipated staking implementation. All eyes are now set on the upcoming annual SmartCon 2022 event organized by Chainlink on September 28-29 in the US and we might potentially see some alpha leaks that would serve as a bullish catalyst for the industry-leading oracle network.
We are excited to announce that Chainlink (LINK) is now available for trading on the Matrixport app, alongside other blue-chip cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), Stablecoins (USDT & USDC) and many more. LINK can be conveniently purchased with a credit card* or via bank transfer** and you can invest, swap, leverage, or apply for a non-liquidation loan with LINK.
*supported currencies for credit card (USD, EUR, HKD, TWD, and 40+ fiat currencies)
**supported currencies for bank transfers (USD, EUR, GBP, and CAD)
