Chainlink staking announced
According to the blog post by Chainlink, the main objective of introducing staking is to increase both cryptoeconomic security and make users more assured of Chainlink's oracle services.
Users will be able to lock up their LINK tokens to ensure a service-level guarantee around how well the network will perform in the future.
This way, Chainlink nodes will be incentivized to keep producing accurate oracle reports and deliver them in a timely manner.
In the long run, stakers will be able to receive rewards from various sources on Chainlink network as its adoption keeps expanding.
Since the announcement of the staking launch, LINK has added 21.5% within two days, now trading at $9.44 but still 82.89% below the all-time high of $52.88 reached on May 10 of last year.
