Chainlink has officially introduced its Chainlink Reserve, a new on-chain initiative that aims to accumulate its LINK token through the revenue generated by fees from large institutions and decentralized applications.

• Launch Overview: The reserve harnesses a method named Payment Abstraction that converts various payments into LINK tokens. Currently, it holds more than $1 million in LINK, with expectations of growth as additional revenue flows into it.
• Strategic Implications: Specifically designed to boost the Chainlink Network’s growth and longevity, this reserve is perceived as a major step towards promoting enterprise demand for LINK. “The Chainlink Reserve is a groundbreaking progression in Chainlink’s evolution and signifies the establishment of a strategic reserve leveraging off-chain earnings as well as usage on-chain,” Nazarov commented.
• Noteworthy Partnerships: Businesses like Mastercard and JPMorgan have begun employing Chainlink’s technology, illustrating its growing influence in the crypto-market landscape. Chainlink also provides a tracking dashboard for the reserve’s balance at reserve.chain.link.
