Chainlink (CCC:LINK-USD) has quietly had one of the best years of its cryptocurrency peers. It has gone above and beyond with the partnerships it has inked, especially recently. One of its biggest deals of the year was announced today. The Chainlink (LINK) news is doing well to bring it to the attention of both crypto bulls and newsreaders alike.
The Chainlink network aggregates some of the most accurate real time data for use on the blockchain. Using Chainlink, other networks can supply their users with accurate financial data, weather data and beyond. The use cases for Chainlink range widely; most popularly, developers port Chainlink data into their dapps in order to provide users with the most accurate experience. It also finds a wide user base, thanks to the fact that its data can be ported to almost any other blockchain network.
Recently, LINK has come into the fold of mainstream crypto investing after it partnered up with the Cardano (CCC:ADA-USD) network. After Cardano’s Alonzo Purple upgrade integrated smart contracts onto the network, it became a hotbed for developers who could finally create dapps on the ADA chain. It became an even more attractive venue for dapp development after September’s Cardano Summit; the event saw the network announce its partnership with Chainlink to put real-world data at the fingertips of users.
