Decentralized oracle networks for any smart contract

Chainlink enables smart contracts on any blockchain to leverage extensive offchain resources, such as tamper-proof price data, verifiable randomness, automation functions, external APIs, and much more.

Smart contracts are inherently disconnected

Blockchains are highly secure and reliable networks for value exchange but lack the functionality to natively fetch external data or send data to offchain systems in a manner that retains end-to-end tamper-resistance.

Chainlink connects smart contracts to the real world

Through the use of secure oracles, Chainlink extends the functionality of blockchains by connecting smart contracts to real-world data, events, payments, and offchain computation in a highly tamper-resistant and reliable manner.

Secure oracle networks powering offchain data and services for any smart contract

End-to-end decentralization

Use decentralized oracle networks made up of independent and Sybil-resistant nodes for high availability and manipulation resistance.

Provably secure nodes

Provide cryptographic proof of the oracle networks' overall integrity as every piece of data is digitally signed by nodes and stored onchain.

High-quality data

Access any password-protected or authenticated API data source, redundantly validated by multiple nodes to prevent any single points of failure.

Crypto-economic security

Leverage provably secure nodes that are economically incentivized to deliver accurate results onchain.

Defense in depth

Apply multiple layers of security such as cryptographic signatures, trusted execution environments, zero-knowledge proofs, and more.

Open-source community

Improve network security and accelerate development through ongoing contributions from node operators, developers, researchers, security auditors, and more.

Blockchain agnostic

Connect to all leading public and private blockchain environments from a single framework, providing a universal abstraction level for cross-network connectivity.

Offchain computation

Combine onchain infrastructure with cost-efficient and reliable offchain computation to create feature-rich decentralized applications in the form of hybrid smart contracts.

The most reliable oracle network in DeFi

Chainlink Price Feeds provide critical financial market data required to issue, settle, and secure a wide array of DeFi applications

The Chainlink Network supports a multitude of price and data feeds live in production, securing tens of billions in value for many leading DeFi applications, CeFi companies, and various other financial institutions.
