Reminder that Chainlink 2.0 update is coming
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>After this recent LINK rally I'd like to take the time ro remind or warn some people that there's also a big update coming for LINK, since some people might have missed it during the new ATH's rush at the time.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.chain.link/chainlink-2-0-lays-foundation-for-adoption-of-hybrid-smart-contracts/">This blog</a> released on April 15 is about the update Chainlink is going to go through in the next few years.</p> <p>Currently Chainlink is a decentralized oracle solution that powers smart contracts in various blockchains, from DEFI to NFTs.
