What is known about Chainlink? The network is based on the Ethereum blockchain. The platform verifies and provides data from external sources for other smart contracts. In June, the team announced the launch of a staking feature, as well as the development of a new consensus algorithm, Proof of Reserves (PoR), which will increase transaction transparency
In September, Chainlink entered into a partnership agreement with the SWIFT financial messaging system. The parties will work on a cross-chain protocol that will unite the sphere of traditional finance and digital assets.
Also, earlier, analyst Benjamin Cowen said that LINK could surpass bitcoin in terms of growth. He noted that the oracle network acts as the basis for many cryptocurrencies.
