Strengthening Chainlink’s Onchain Economy
By funding LINK accumulation through both onchain and offchain revenue, the reserve is designed to reinforce sustainable ecosystem growth. Instead of short-term incentives, capital is being reinvested directly into infrastructure, liquidity, and long-term scalability.
The initiative has already had a measurable impact. Chainlink’s total value secured climbed 10.68% over the past month to $93.69 billion, while transaction value enabled rose 4.2% to $25.06 trillion. Verified messages processed hit 18.32 billion, and the reserve itself jumped 309% in value in just 30 days.
Analysts describe the reserve as a “flywheel effect” where revenue fuels infrastructure, stronger infrastructure attracts more users, and that participation generates further revenue that cycles back into growth.
With LINK purchases continuing on schedule, Chainlink is positioning its reserve as a cornerstone of onchain sustainability, reinforcing its role as a key layer of blockchain infrastructure and institutional adoption.
