Chainlink LINK/USD is an open-source, decentralized oracle network intended to provide real-world data to smart contracts within the blockchain.
In this network, smart contracts are pre-specified agreements that evaluate information that automatically executes when given conditions are met.
LINK is the native cryptocurrency token that is used for the payment of the services within the network.
