what's chainlink?

Chainlink is a decentralized oracle network that connects smart contracts with real-world data, enabling secure and reliable interactions between blockchains and external systems. Its primary purpose is to provide tamper-proof data feeds, cross-chain interoperability, and off-chain computation to power decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, and enterprise blockchain applications. Key features include the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) for seamless asset transfers across blockchains, Data Streams for low-latency market data, and the Scale Program to support emerging ecosystems like Plasma and Hyperliquid. Chainlink also facilitates onchain finance through integrations for compliance, privacy, and legacy system connectivity, as highlighted in recent expansions to networks like Solana, Aptos, and HyperEVM. The network's native token, LINK, is used to incentivize node operators and secure the oracle services.
