What is Chainlink (LINK)

A Deep Dive on Chainlink

Chainlink is an all-in-one platform built to fulfill the requirements of institutional blockchain use cases. The Chainlink platform enables developers and institutions to access critical data, interoperability, compute, compliance, privacy, and legacy-system connectivity required for advanced blockchain applications that link the onchain and offchain worlds.

Overview and Purpose

Chainlink is built to solve four fundamental problems for institutions interacting with tokenized assets:

  • The data problem - Tokenized assets need real-world information to be usable in transactions, such as market pricing, reference data, and proof of reserves data. Chainlink provides this real-world data onchain securely and accurately.
  • The liquidity problem - Financial institutions need tokenized assets that can be securely accessed and moved across blockchain networks in order to maximize liquidity. Chainlink CCIP delivers a cross-chain interoperability standard that securely connects any public or private blockchain, opening up global markets to tokenized assets.
  • The synchronization problem - Tokenized assets must remain synchronized with legacy systems once issued across multiple chains. Chainlink offers reliable offchain data, system connectivity, and secure cross-chain interoperability, enabling a Unified Golden Record that stays with assets anywhere.
  • The compliance problem - Regulated institutions require compliance enforcement capabilities such as identity verification (KYC), risk screening (AML), exploit protection, and asset-specific restrictions. The Chainlink Automated Compliance Engine extends existing financial infrastructure for identity and compliance data to blockchains and tokenized assets.

LINK Token Fundamentals

The LINK token serves as the network's primary currency, used to pay network operators for providing external data to smart contracts. Additionally, token holders can stake their LINK (minimum 1,000 tokens) to contribute to network security and earn rewards.

Supply Characteristics

Chainlink has a maximum supply of 1 billion LINK tokens. The initial distribution was structured as follows:

  • 35% (350,000,000 LINK) allocated to Node Operators & Ecosystem
  • 32.3% (323,000,000 LINK) distributed through Private Token Sale
  • 30% (300,000,000 LINK) retained by the Company
  • 2.7% (27,000,000 LINK) sold in the Public Token Sale

The initial token sale occurred on September 17, 2017, at approximately $0.09 per LINK. The project expects to put about 70 million LINK into circulation annually, with full circulation projected by Q1 2030.

Project Development

Chainlink was launched on September 4, 2017, with its mainnet going live on May 30, 2019. The project originated in the Cayman Islands and was co-founded by Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis. Nazarov, who has been in the crypto space since 2011, serves as co-founder of Chainlink Labs and previously held positions at QED Capital and CryptaMail. Ellis, serving as CTO, co-authored the Chainlink whitepaper with Nazarov.

The project raised $32 million through its initial token sale, with $29 million coming from private investors at $0.09 per LINK and $3 million from the public at $0.11 per LINK.
