ChainLink is showing signs of life, while Bitcoin and most of the crypto assets are pulling back lately. One thing to keep an eye on is the trading and social volume in relation to its price direction. An increase appears to be starting, which is correlating with this rise.

Quick fact: Chainlink is a blockchain that is designed to bridge the space between blockchain technology-based smart contracts (created by ETH), and other user programs.

Since blockchains by principle can’t have access to data outside their paths or networks, a defi instrument is needed to facilitate data feeds in smart contracts, and Chainlink helps to solve such needs.

Recall that about a year ago, ChainLink announced that Google was integrating ChainLink into their approach to smart contract adoption. Here’s how users can use Chainlink to connect to BigQuery, one of Google’s most popular cloud services.
