The Chainlink team announced via Twitter on Monday that Chainlink Automation has been integrated into Optimism, a fast, stable, and scalable L2 blockchain built by Ethereum developers.
Chainlink Automation enables developers to scale by giving them the ability to execute DevOps maintenance tasks. In turn, this enables developers to build more advanced dApps, which will ultimately bring more users to the Optimism ecosystem.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is down by 1% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $6.594 at press time.
