Because Chainlink offers everything but the kitchen sink: on-chain data delivery, cross-chain interoperability, automated compliance, privacy-preserving computing, and even cozy integration with legacy systems. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of blockchains, ready to tokenize anything that moves-or doesn’t move-for institutions hungry for real-world asset tokenization.

A Most Curious Race: Blockchain Protocols and Their Treasury Tactics 🏰💸

On the 7th of August, the esteemed Chainlink network declared its own reserve, a veritable treasure trove of its native token, LINK. Collected from both onchain service fees and offchain enterprise revenue, this initiative weaves a direct connection between the protocol’s business acumen and the long-term demand for its token.
