What is Chainlink?
The new Chainlink Functions platform offers developers a seamless way to integrate off-chain data and computation into their blockchain-based applications. Leveraging Chainlink's decentralized oracle network, Chainlink Functions enables secure and reliable connections between Web3 smart contracts and a vast array of Web2 APIs, empowering developers to create powerful, decentralized applications that harness the best of both worlds. With Chainlink Functions, developers can quickly and easily connect their smart contracts to external data sources, execute off-chain computations, and integrate complex real-world functionalities - all without the need for traditional server infrastructure. This serverless platform provides a streamlined, efficient, and cost-effective solution for bridging the gap between the decentralized blockchain ecosystem and the wider world of web-based services and data
