Should you buy Chainlink (LINK) after the announcement of PoS transition

By: Invezz

Chainlink (LINK/USD) features decentralized oracle networks that provide tamper-proof inputs, as well as outputs and computations to support advanced smart contracts on just about any blockchain.

LINK is the native cryptocurrency that is used to help finance the growth of the overall project. 

Chainlink is typically utilized as a means of providing real-world data to smart contracts and bring it to the blockchain.

The future of LINK’s value after the announcement that it will only support PoS Ethereum

Through an official announcement, the Chainlink (LINK) protocol said that it would not support any forked version of the Ethereum blockchain.

This means that any Proof-of-Work (PoW) forks of Ethereum will not be supported by Chainlink post “The Merge ”, which is the latest upgrade to the Ethereum (ETH/USD) network. 

The protocol has aligned itself with the Ethereum Foundation and the Ethereum community’s decision.

This means that it will provide its services to Ethereum during and after the Merge; however, Chainlink will transition all of its Ethereum operations from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Furthermore, in the announcement, Chainlink advised Ethereum developers as well as decentralized application (dApp) teams to develop their smart contract operations accordingly as a means of avoiding future mishaps.
