Ecosystem

Chainlink ecosystem overview

The Chainlink ecosystem is powered by a large open-source community of data providers, node operators, smart contract developers, researchers, security auditors, and more. Contributors are building a more functional, accessible, and socially impactful smart contract economy through the creation of critical developer tooling, the addition of high-quality data, in-house initiatives like grant programs and hackathons and the launching of other key services that advance the Chainlink Network.

Node operators

Chainlink node operators are the backbone of the Chainlink Network.^[1] They operate the crucial oracle infrastructure that is responsible for ensuring smart contracts across every blockchain have access to the real-world data they need to execute properly. ^[2] Find out more about Chainlink node operators HERE.
