Foresight News reports that Chainlink has announced a major upgrade to its platform, restructuring the core functionality of its oracle network into a modular developer platform, allowing developers to integrate it into workflows in any way, and run it through the new Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), which is based on the functionality of DON, DON-to-DON communication, function orchestration, and code execution systems. Workflows operate using the appropriate consensus model.
The Chainlink Platform will be rolled out in phases to ensure that existing users of Chainlink services are not affected throughout the transition. The initial phase involves transitioning Chainlink services such as CCIP to the upgraded platform architecture.
