LINK token was for fundraising purposes only

you think the hundreds of companies that are slated to use link dident think of this . try harder faggot

>the price of LINK suddenly drops 99.99
lmao just stay in discord, holy shit your life is pathetic.

they will use the network, not the shitcoin.
how dense are you linkies to not be able to understand this?

Nobody has an answer besides I guess the only way is to perform the function off-chain. Doesn’t this make things more complex than need be?

This is like saying you will drive a car without gas, usage of the network requires the link token.

Performing this function as well as others off-chain is actually one of Chainlink's strong points.

Link would be better without the token bs and I expect it to get rekt by a tokenless copy 1-3 years from now. Detokenization is the next big thing, nobody wants the added complexity of having their contracts deal with acquiring yet another token.

I mean 0x without ZRX, Raiden without RDN, Brave ads without BAT, etc. Chainlink is cool but LINK isn't needed for it to work.

Tokens have their place as long as they represent some real value within the system and not simply fees/payment. Both the staking and the payment could use whatevertoken with no loss of functionality.

Consider that devs could use their own token as oracle stake if using link was not required, instead tying the viability of their calls to their own token's valuation which is better for them. Or their project depends on DAI so they want to use that, cutting their token dependencies from 2 to 1.

I get that it will work with link but I just don't see how it's REQUIRED to use a network token.

Any token can be chain agnostic with wrapping and cross chain transfers, there's no future where link is chain agnostic and other tokens are not.

How will they pay the node operators?what will be put up as collateral?

no. discord fags waking up

Also. No word on the other 650m tokens. They say they’re for node operators? How are they going to audit a bunch of node operators to know they have integrity and won’t just sell them for a quick profit? Then what percentage of the other team holding will be used for continued development? Will they have a set inflation rate etc. nobody fucking knows. It amazes me there’s so much unknown and yet people are so confident it will succeed.
