LinkPool is a leading node service provider within the Chainlink ecosystem, focusing on lowering the barrier to entry for staking on Chainlink nodes. It aims to facilitate smart contract creators by providing tools to easily search and identify suitable Chainlink nodes.
LinkPool operates as a service provider leveraging Chainlink, a decentralized oracle network. It connects smart contracts to external data sources and computations. Using Proof of Stake (PoS), LinkPool enables trustless staking and token distribution via smart contracts integrated with Chainlink to ensure security and reliability.
LinkPool offers several use cases, including effortless trustless staking for passive income and simplifying the process of running a Chainlink node. It connects smart contract developers and node operators with necessary resources and is applicable across various sectors like DeFi, insurance, gaming, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing.
LinkPool was founded in 2017 by Jonathan Huxtable, who started the project inspired by his interest in Bitcoin and Chainlink. It began as a bedroom project and evolved into the leading Chainlink service provider. Significant milestones include a 2018 crowdsale and being one of the first three node operators to go live on Ethereum mainnet in 2019. LinkPool has formed partnerships for better scalability and performance and has developed stake.link, a liquid staking protocol.
