We’re building the future of financial infrastructure
We helped pioneer decentralized finance. Now we’re helping the largest financial institutions in the world transact across the tokenized asset economy.
Global finance is moving onchain. Chainlink Labs is at the center of this massive shift, working with everyone from financial market infrastructures to asset managers to top DeFi protocols. We’re a world-class team of over 600 developers, researchers, and capital markets experts with deep experience in cryptography and decentralized systems and a singular vision to build Chainlink into the global standard for onchain finance.
Chainlink by the numbers
Transaction value enabled by the Chainlink Platform across the multi-chain ecosystem
Ecosystem projects across capital markets, DeFi, gaming, and other major verticals
Years battle-tested on mainnet with an impeccable security track record
Unified platform powering a global system of onchain finance across DeFi and TradFi
