Chainlink announced via a blog post on Friday that it has joined the the upcoming Gitcoin Grants Round 15 as a matching partner for the $2.8M main matching pool. Chainlink’s financial contributions will go toward the development of the Ethereum infrastructure, dApps, and tooling that the community identifies as most important through Gitcoin’s quadratic funding model.
According to the team, Gitcoin funding rounds financially incentivize developers to build key infrastructures such as Ethereum clients, open-source programming libraries, testing suites, monitoring tools, improved user interfaces, and deployment tooling.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof inputs and outputs of data for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is up by more than 1% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $7.924 at press time.
