Chainlink - The basics
The oracle problem?
What is the oracle problem? The oracle problem is the challenge of connecting smart contracts to off-chain resources due to the inherent security properties of the blockchain. This oracle problem exists for every blockchain network and smart contract platform.[1] For more details on the oracle problem click HERE.

Chainlink specific contracts
- Market & data feed speific contracts. We've broken the history out into contract-based milestones.
- Direct Request / Runlog (DR)
- Flux Monitor (FM)
- Offchain Reporting (OCR)
- (what could be next)
- Keeper contracts.
- VRF contracts.
