Chainlink LINK/USD provides data feeds to blockchain-based smart contracts that expands its services to include decentralized off-chain computation. This process will be completed by a network of node operators known as Chainlink Keepers.
Furthermore, Chainlink Labs has also introduced cross-blockchain bridges which have an anti-fraud risk monitoring component associated with them.
Crypto Keepers as a catalyst for growthSmartCoin announced that Keepers is a service layer that can tell smart contracts exactly how and where to behave, and the feature is live on Ethereum and being adopted by Alchemix, Bancor, Barnbridge, PoolTogether, Synthetix and Aave.
Chainlink allows inputs including data for decentralized finance (DeFi), random number generators to esports scores and gaming prediction markets to be piped into blockchain through a decentralized oracle network which is maintained by Chainlink nodes.
This update will increase the popularity of Chainlink and the increase in the adoption of the blockchain will lead to a heightened market requirement for the token, which will increase the circulating supply and overall value of the LINK token.
