Chainlink delivers a solution for connecting the real-world and smart contracts
Chainlink was created as a solution to a problem of connecting smart contracts with the real-world. These contracts are only able to work inside of a blockchain as decentralized scripts, which makes it impossible to connect and exchange the information with external sources. Chainlink works as a middleman between blockchain and the real-world. Creator of this project is Sergey Nazarov - connected with blockchain technology since 2011. He believes that blockchain can change our lives.
