Chainlink

Chainlink is decentralized infrastructure that helps smart contracts connect with data, computation, and systems outside their own chain.

Its product set includes Data Feeds for market and reference data, VRF for verifiable randomness, Automation for scheduled execution, Functions for API powered compute, and CCIP for crosschain messaging.

These services are widely used across DeFi, gaming, and tokenized asset applications.

For Mantle developers, Chainlink serves as a dependable middleware layer for pricing, automation, interoperability, and other offchain inputs that contracts cannot source on their own.
