Chainlink (LINK) data streams allow data availability offchain. The protocol integrated seven assets into the infrastructure- MultiversX (EGLD), Filecoin (FIL), Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), The Sandbox (SAND), Sei Network (SEI), Lido Finance’s staked Ether (stETH), and Stellar (XLM).
The addition of support for new assets by Chainlink Data Streams boosts the utility of the LINK token.
Chainlink’s official account on X announced support for seven new cryptocurrency tokens in its data streams infrastructure feature. The project provides offline availability of data and makes the provision of allowing cryptographic verification and data support offline, providing faster throughput for supported chains and assets.
