LINK (Chainlink Token)
The native token of the Chainlink network. LINK is used to pay node operators for delivering data to smart contracts, and it's also staked to help secure the network.
You’re not buying LINK to use it in DeFi or mint NFTs, you're backing the infrastructure that powers a massive chunk of it all. It’s less “look at my wallet” and more “this is what’s making your dApp actually work.”
