Chainlink provides reliable tamper-proof inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain.

Smart Contracts provide the ability to execute tamper-proof digital agreements, which are considered highly secure and highly reliable. In order to maintain a contract's overall reliability, the inputs, and outputs that the contract relies on also need to be secure. Chainlinks provide a reliable connection to external data, that is provably secure end-to-end.

The company was founded in 2014 and based in Grand Cayman, Midland, Cayman Islands.
