1. General information about Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink (LINK) is one of the younger cryptocurrencies on the market. It was released in 2017, almost ten years after Bitcoin (BTC), and is based on a whitepaper that was published in September 2017 by its founders – Sergey Nazarov, Steve Ellis, and Dr. Ari Juels – describing the network’s capabilities. The network is designed as a blockchain oracle and aims to solve what is known as the Blockchain Oracle Problem.
This is a fundamental technical problem faced by networks in which blockchains and smart contracts are unable to access data that is off-chain. Having developed a solution to this problem is one of Chainlink’s accomplishments – it’s what has made Chainlink so popular, despite the fact that it’s only been on the market for a few years. For this reason, it may be worthwhile for interested traders and investors on BISON to get involved with this service and its cryptocurrency.
2. Interesting facts about Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink’s primary job as a third-party provider is to equip smart contracts with functions for accessing external information[5]. This is called a blockchain oracle. Chainlink is a third-party service that provides this kind of blockchain oracle. Think of the oracle as a connection between smart contracts and external information. Why is this important? Agreements can be made much better in the context of smart contracts if they can access information outside the blockchain. Otherwise, the value of this modern form of contract would be severely limited.
Chainlink acts as a middleman here between smart contracts and data located outside the blockchain. It is important to note that the oracle does not serve as a data source itself. However, Chainlink performs many other key tasks, such as data retrieval, verification, and authentication. So, if you bet on Chainlink (LINK) and trade the cryptocurrency, you may well believe that this technical solution will be of particular importance in the future and that the service may grow as a result.
3. How did the current Chainlink (LINK) price come about?
The price of Chainlink (LINK) is formed traditionally, through supply and demand. When demand for this cryptocurrency increases, so does the price. If demand decreases and fewer investors or traders want to buy Chainlink, the price decreases. As with all cryptocurrencies, the price is subject to high fluctuations.
Currently, there are over 450,000,000 LINK Coins circulating. The maximum supply of coins is one billion. With BISON, you have the opportunity to follow Chainlink’s (LINK) price fluctuations without needing to have any technical know-how. The information provided here will, however, help you estimate future price developments so that you can make informed investment decisions.
4. What factors affect the Chainlink (LINK) price?
Various factors have an influence on Chainlink’s (LINK) price. These include buyer demand and the number of coins that are available. The latter form the supply of Chainlink (LINK). Because Chainlink wants to serve as a decentralized oracle network, the function of its tokens also contributes to its pricing. To understand what LINK is useful for, it is therefore important to understand its pricing.
In principle, the Chainlink (LINK) token provides smart contract users the ability to enhance smart contracts with a Chainlink Node. In Chainlink, the nodes form a decentralized network in which a provision of data from the outside world takes place. It is the operators of these Chainlink Nodes that ultimately determine the price, which is based on the demand for the data from the off-chain source. The token is a way to pay the node operators for performing their task.
