history

Chainlink is the product of a blockchain technology startup called SmartContract, which was founded in 2014. Chainlink itself started with a white paper, published by Steve Ellis, Ari Juels und Sergey Nazarov in September of 2017. The paper outlined their vision for a decentralized oracle network. Chainlink’s technology was designed to solve one of the core challenges with smart contracts running on blockchains – providing blockchains with reliable real-word data. The project first started offering their services for smart contracts on Ethereum but has now expanded its offering to other smart contract capable blockchains.

To manage Chainlink’s technology, another for-profit fintech company by the name of SmartContract Chainlink Ltd. with Sergey Nazarov as CEO was founded. The company is based in the Cayman Islands. A worldwide developer and research team united under ChainlinkLabs is further developing the Chainlink technology.
