Chainlink announced the launch of the community reward program Chainlink Rewards, aimed at incentivizing $LINK token holders to participate in network security through staking. This program is part of the Chainlink Economics 2.0 strategy, designed to enhance the cryptoeconomic security of oracle services. Chainlink's staking mechanism allows node operators and community members to support the performance of oracle services by staking $LINK and earning rewards. The latest v0.2 upgrade expands the total capacity of the staking pool to 45 million $LINK, accounting for 8% of the current circulating supply, providing more opportunities for $LINK holders to participate.
