description: Chainlink is a fully decentralised oracle network powered by the LINK cryptocurrency. One of the first networks to allow the integration of off-chain data into smart contracts, Chainlink enables smart contracts to send payments to bank accounts and other payment networks. It also connects smart contracts to the data sources and APIs they need to function easily. Its ecosystem currently powers 1,000 project integrations with 700 oracle networks, giving access to over 1B data points and securing over US$75 billion in value for DeFi applications like Synthetix, Aave, and Compound, among others.
