Chainlink (LINK) : Price Analysis, Feb.19
ChainLink was developed by a company called SmartContract in September 2014. It is a platform that bridges the gap between smart contracts, which are on the blockchain and real-world applications, which are off the blockchain. “Oracles” which is used by the cryptocurrency to solve its purpose, are data feeds from the external systems that feed vital information into blockchains that smart contracts execute under specific conditions. There is a growing need for Oracles, which shows the expansions of blockchain into real-world cases, where accurate data have become crucial.
ChainLink has two main infrastructural components – on-chain infrastructure and off-chain infrastructure. The on-chain infrastructure consists of on-chain contracts deployed on Ethereum’sblockchain. These contacts the Oracles, which then process the request of the users who wish to access the off-chain data. The off-chain infrastructure consists of Oracle nodes connected to the Euthereum network, which collect the required data from off-chain resources. The data received is then processed by the ChainLink’s core, the software that allows the interaction between the blockchain and real-world applications. In return for the contribution to network harvesting and transmissions, the off-chain operators are compensated in the form of LINK which isChainLink’s core native ERC20 token. If the users wish to access off-chain data, they submit a requesting contract to ChainLink’s network. Then the requesting contracts are matched with their oracles by the smart contract. This smart contract includes reputation contract, an order-matching contract, and an aggregating contract. Finally, the aggregating contract gathers data of the selected oracles to find the most accurate outcome.
