Why buy Chainlink (LINK)?

Chainlink (LINK) aims to connect decentralised blockchain networks and off-chain data sources using hybrid smart contracts.

  • Bridging capability: LINK bridges the gap, allowing for seamless communication and integration.

  • Decentralised oracle network: LINK provides secure and reliable data feeds for smart contracts.

  • Real-world data integration: LINK enables smart contracts to interact with real-world data and events.

  • Tamper-resistant data: LINK decentralised nature ensures data integrity and prevents manipulation.

  • Scalability and interoperability: LINK enables seamless integration across multiple blockchains, enhancing interoperability.

  • API integration: Used to establish connections with current systems, and future blockchain technologies.

What is Chainlink (LINK)?

Before you buy chainlink coins or LINK, you will first want to know what Chainlink and LINK are. Chainlink itself is a decentralised blockchain oracle network that is built on top of the Ethereum structure. Ethereum was the first network to introduce smart contract technology — i.e. decentralised digital contracts that are executed once all necessary preconditions are met. The team behind Chainlink wanted to take this a step further, bringing in external sources of data to enhance smart contracts.

LINK is the Chainlink coin. This cryptocurrency is similar to many others, whose value rises and falls according to market forces. What makes it unique is that it is the only native coin of the Chainlink platform, and it is designed to power the enhanced smart contracts created via Chainlink.

What is Chainlink used for?

The Chainlink network was intended to take smart contracts to the next level. Rather than simply inputting conditions that must be met to complete the contract, these enhanced smart contracts draw upon external data sources and feed this data into the contract's conditions. For example, if two traders agreed to execute a deal once a particular commodities market had exceeded a specified value, this would not be possible with a standard smart contract, as this data is external to the crypto network. With Chainlink, however, this external data can form one of the smart contract conditions, so this would become possible. The underlying Chainlink coin — or LINK — powers these smart contracts. Supporting enhanced smart contracts is the main use case for LINK, but it can also be used in other ways. For instance, traders can buy Chainlink coins to use as an alternative currency, or they may decide to hold the coins to speculate on future value movements.

How is the price of Chainlink determined?

The Chainlink price in AUD is determined by the coin’s level of supply and demand.

A supply cap is attached to LINK tokens, meaning the currency is finite. As of September 2022, just under half of the total supply has been generated. This limit helps to ensure that supply does not outstrip demand, keeping the currency's value relatively stable.

Two important aspects govern the demand for the Chainlink coin. The first is the general desire among traders to buy Chainlink LINK tokens. The second is the usability of the Chainlink network itself. The Chainlink network was designed to enhance the capability of Ethereum-based smart contracts, integrating with external data sources to revolutionise this technology. If users and organisations believe this is a viable technological advance, adoption of the network will increase, and the currency's value will trend upward. Of course, there are no guarantees that this will be the case, and traders will always need to assume some risk when they enter the cryptocurrency market.
