Hi,

​

how could i stake Chainlink? I'm new here. Thanks

Is there any transparency for #Link holders to see Links financials. IE...how much do they charge per smart contract, how many smart contracts per day/hour? Is the fee a % of contract size? Revenue growth? Invested my intire life & while Link sounds great, the bottom line is the increase in usage, revenue & estimates of future #'s of the above?

how much are chainlink fees?

Another great partner for Chainlink!

We are pleased to announce Hacken’s forthcoming Chainlink integration that will make our security audit data about smart contracts, DeFi projects, and cryptocurrency exchanges available on-chain for use by decentralized applications. As a leading blockchain cybersecurity auditing shop, Hacken provides exchanges, wallet providers, and investors data about the underlying security of key pieces of infrastructure, such as informing users whether a DeFi smart contract was audited or generating a score to rate the security of exchanges.
