The Chainlink network was developed as the first decentralized oracle to provide external data for smart contracts. With its help, you can connect smart contracts with factual information – payments or events. Chainlink gives the smart contract access to any external API you want to connect it to. Thus, it is possible to make a payment through the contract to any payment system or banking network.
The protocol provides a secure connection to smart contracts on any blockchain. Allows you to receive various types of data: market rates, sports results, weather, etc.
