Quick take - Link token
Utility
The LINK token is used to pay Chainlink node operators for their oracle services (on-chain data aggregation and submission & off-chain computation services). In addition, once Chainlink staking goes live, Chainlink node operators will be able to deposit a specific amount of LINK as collateral in order to be elegible to service specific requests. This was first outlined in the original whitepaper.
Details

At launch, 35% of LINK tokens were sold, establishing an initial circulating supply of 350M Another 30% (300M LINK tokens) were allocated to LINK's parent company (SmartContract.com)tokens were spent on hiring, operations and development.)
