Chainlink announced in a blog post on Wednesday that it has launched Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), a major upgrade to the Chainlink platform. With CRE, developers can seamlessly combine all Chainlink capabilities to create customized apps and unlock use cases not bound by any chain, offchain resource, or product integration.
CRE enables developers to deploy code directly on the Chainlink Platform for building and composing capabilities, removing the need to add Chainlink-specific code to their onchain contracts. This allows developers to leverage Chainlink’s capabilities regardless of which blockchains their application is deployed to, leading to unified applications secured end-to-end by consensus computing.
The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) executes developers’ workflows in a decentralized manner by interacting with different capability decentralized oracle networks (DONs.) CRE provides the coordination of the DONs for each of the capabilities invoked in a workflow, as well as combines them with the right consensus overlay.
Chainlink Network (LINK) aims to provide tamper-proof data inputs and outputs for smart contracts on any blockchain. LINK is up 1.5% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $12.22 at press time.
