Community members can stake between 1 and 15,000 LINK tokens, and node operators can stake between 1,000 and 75,000 LINK tokens. The Staking v0.2 pool will offer a rewards system, improved security and a more flexible staking process.
What is Chainlink (LINK)?
Chainlink (LINK) is a cryptocurrency project with the vision of fostering a global, decentralized oracle network across countless computers to provide trustworthy, real data to smart contracts running on various blockchains.
These actual data points that can be connected to blockchain-based smart contracts are known as “oracles.” Each oracle on the Chainlink decentralized oracle network is incentivized to provide accurate data by assigning a reputation score to each.
When Oracle follows the software's rules and provides accurate data, the Chainlink network is rewarded with the native ERC-20 cryptocurrency token LINK.
