Chainlink Launches Functions Platform

Chainlink’s Functions platform has been launched, allowing decentralized applications (dApps) to securely and reliably interact with off-chain data sources and traditional web platforms.

The platform is integrated with providers such as Amazon Web Services, meaning developers no longer need to access cloud storage.

The Functions beta is already running on the Sepolia (Ethereum) and Mumbai (Polygon) testnets. Kemal El Mujahid, Chief Product Officer of Chainlink, believes this launch will remove major barriers to Web3 adoption.

The company has said:

“We make it easy for developers to combine smart contracts with the powerful APIs and Web 2.0 data sources they need to build amazing applications.”

According to Dune Analytics, over 650,000 active users are currently using Chainlink.
