Our take
Smart contracts are the future of transparent, fair, and efficient digital dealings across industries as diverse as lending, real estate, and international trade. Historically, the application of smart contracts was limited to on-chain data, but oracle mechanisms like Chainlink Labs can be used to import off-chain data (like those required for the broader application of smart contracts) onto the chain.
Chainlink Labs' work has marked a significant step forward in the progress of blockchain technologies - and has proven a remarkable success story for the company. It is responsible for the largest global decentralized oracle network in the world, used by hundreds of projects spanning online gaming and cryptocurrency. It has also received its fair share of critique - but blockchain technology at large remains a work in progress, and Chainlink has been quick to develop solutions.
All in all, the benefits of Chainlink’s work look set to become even more pronounced, as smart contracts become more applied across the globe. In late 2022, the company launched the staking of its native token LINK to increase the security of the protocol and enable the Chainlink system to grow. Building on that, it has recently introduced a new community rewards program for LINK stakers, further encouraging participants while also strengthening its network through active community involvement.
