Chainlink provides oracle networks that connect smart contracts with external data and off-chain computation. Developers use these services when a blockchain application needs information that is not recorded on its own ledger.

Technical details are in the Chainlink 2.0 whitepaper. Updates are available through the Chainlink newsletter and @chainlink on X.
