Chainlink

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts to securely access off-chain data feeds, web APIs, and traditional bank payments. Chainlink is consistently selected as one of the top blockchain technologies by leading independent research firms such as Gartner. It is well known for providing highly secure and reliable oracles to both large enterprises (SWIFT) and leading smart contract development teams (Web3 Foundation, OpenLaw, Zeppelin, MARKET Protocol, Accord, and more). It is chain agnostic and will serve any chain ranging from Ethereum to Hyperledger and more.



Sergey Nazarov

Sergey is the CEO of SmartContract.com and Chainlink. He joined the cryptocurrency revolution in 2011 as a Bitcoin miner, and went on to build some of the first decentralized applications in 2013 (Cryptamail & Secure Asset Exchange). He’s currently working on solving the “oracle problem”, by providing smart contracts on leading networks with the inputs and outputs they need to effectively interface with external data sources and various other off-chain payment methods.
