When Chainlink launched in 2017, the project aimed to solve one of the biggest problems in the blockchain world: the lack of secure, decentralized interfaces to external data. This focus on reliable price feeds quickly made Chainlink the backbone of growing DeFi protocols like Aave. But the network's true significance is only now becoming apparent – in a market rapidly moving towards tokenization. Chainlink has evolved from a simple data provider into a kind of operating system for digital financial markets. Anyone wanting to understand how banks, funds, and exchanges might interact in the future can hardly ignore the Chainlink approach: a unified set of rules that connects data, identities, payments, and entire transactions across blockchains. It is precisely this role as a “connecting fabric” that makes Chainlink so important – and hints at why the project could gain even more significance in the coming years.
