Link is a decentralized oracle network that provides trusted data to smart contracts on the blockchain. It is one of the most popular and widely used oracle solutions, and plays a crucial role in the decentralized finance ecosystem (#DeFi ).
It works under a Reputation system to choose the nodes that will provide the data to the smart contracts.
Betting $LINK to build and maintain a node in operation is not enough to generate profitability, since profitability is generated when the node is chosen to provide data to smart contracts and the commissions generated by these transactions are partly earned. the nodes.
Now, in a realistic situation, the #Chainlink Network is the most accepted and used currently as an oracle and its demand will grow as the tokenization of real-world assets continues to develop and its network is used to verify data between networks.
In that context, being a node operator on Chainlink from now on is an interesting strategy for some people, or looking at it from another perspective: knowing how to get a node on chainlink up and running and operate it correctly will be a captive skill with some interesting demand. In any case it means that more Links are going to be blocked, so holding this asset is probably an interesting strategy to fight inflation.
The $BTC is already accepted by traditional stock exchanges as an asset similar to the digital #oro , on the other hand $ETH or $SOL are accepted as "the new digital oil". I have not yet found anyone who gives a term to the value that the Link network generates as a data validator, but personally it seems to me (although it may sound strange) like the Digital Internet.
