Welcome to everyone who has joined us as part of the BLINK bounty! Here's a quick overview of the Link project.
Blockmason's Link is a new blockchain infrastructure-as-a-service that allows app, web and other software developers to use smart contracts and programmatic blockchains in their applications without requiring any blockchain experience. Using Link, a developer can create classic, conventional web-based APIs for any smart contract written on a programmatic blockchain.
At the heart of Link is BLINK, the Link utility token. In short, BLINK is the required “fuel” that powers Link, providing access to the service and API transaction capacity. When a developer uses Link to build an API for their smart contract, and that API is used, BLINK must be consumed.
Link is viewed as the missing component in blockchain-based app development. With Link, developers and users alike can interact with smart contracts like any other web API. There are no “gas” cryptocurrencies to acquire, browser plugins to install or other unnecessary hurdles. There’s also no servers or web infrastructure to maintain or monitor. A developer simply adds the smart contracts they want to use in their app to Link. Once added, they can read from and write to these smart contracts just like any other API.
