Chainlink’s roadmap update pushes its value up, can it retain momentum?

Chainlink LINK/USD is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables smart contracts to access real-world data, such as data feeds, APIs, and even banking systems.

This is done through the usage of Oracles, which find, verify and submit the real-world information within the blockchain-based smart contracts.

The LINK cryptocurrency is used as a means of paying the node operators within the system.

The long-term staking roadmap release as a catalyst for growth 

On June 7, 2022, the Chainlink team ended up publishing the documentation regarding  “Long-Term Goals, Roadmap, and Initial Implementation,” which outlined the further stages regarding the data oracle blockchain project.

Specifically, the blog references the “Chainlink Economics 2.0”, which put a specific focus on staking as part of the goal to scale the system and even integrate more blockchain networks.

There are four long-term goals for Chainlink, which ended up launching oracles on Solana as well this month. 

Its primary goal is to increase the security and user assurances of Chainlink oracle services.

The second is to encourage community participation in involvement, and the third is to generate sustainable rewards for long-term use for staking.

Then, the fourth goal is to empower node operators as a means of helping them access higher-value jobs through staking.

The goal here is that, over time, node operators can have greater opportunities when it comes to participating in Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs), which increase security.
