About Portfolio
Chainlink (LINK) is the native token of Chainlink, the leading decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely interact with real-world data, off-chain computation, and cross-chain messaging. It serves as critical infrastructure for decentralized finance, tokenized assets, and Web3 applications.
Governance & Token Utility
The LINK token is used to pay for oracle services, secure the network through staking, and participate in protocol governance. Node operators receive LINK as compensation for providing accurate and timely data feeds, while stakers help secure the system and earn rewards.
