Smart contracts promise to take execution of processes and agreements to the Ethereum global computer. There's just one problem: Smart contracts can't talk to the rest of the world. Chainlink wants to solve this, starting today.
Ethereum smart contracts cannot interact with any data outside of it's blockchain, because of the way blockchain is designed. A middleware is required for that , an oracle. Until today there was none oracle live on ethereum mainnet. Yesterday (30) chainlink launched its mainnet.Smart contracts promise to take execution of processes and agreements to the Ethereum global computer. There's just one problem: Smart contracts can't talk to the rest of the world. Chainlink wants to solve this, starting today.
Let's hope for the best, as this may trigger another ethereum bull run. But not triggered by ico scams crazy, but by smartcontracts real use cases.
