LINK tokens are Chainlink’s digital asset, which are used to pay for services on its decentralized Oracle network, according to Gemini.

The network provides real-world data to smart contracts on the blockchain, which are predefined agreements that evaluate information and automatically execute when certain conditions are met, Gemini explains.

A LINK token is currently worth $ 17.66, according to real-time data tracked by CoinMarketCap (market cap is constantly changing).

Chainlink is currently available on Coinbase, Kraken, Crypto.com, eToro, and Gemini.

Chainlink was founded by Sergey Nazarov in 2014, but only launched in 2017, according to SmartAsset.com.
