With the current 414, this translates to a 31.4% increment in the number of blockchain projects using Chainlink in a span of roughly 3.5 months.<\/p>\n<p>During the same time period, Chainlink&#8217;s price almost tripled in value from approximately $10 in early November to its current value of $28. This in turn proves Mr. Peterson&#8217;s Metcalfe model of valuing digital assets using network activity.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/crypto-analyst-chainlink-link-is-worth-about-5-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">his Metcalfe Model<\/a>, LINK&#8217;s value is based on function calls by the various blockchain protocols that use its price feeds and oracles. Therefore, the more function calls are made, the higher the demand for the LINK token which is at the core of the Chainlink network. This creates a feedback loop that increases the value of LINK. The converse is also true, a drop in LINK function calls will result in a dip in its value.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, there is the aspect of traders and investors of LINK &#8211; also known as LINK Marines &#8211; who are particularly bullish about the future value of the token. Therefore, Chainlink could very well be on an upward path <a href=\"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/chainlink-is-on-track-to-break-100-within-3-yrs-crypto-analyst\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\">towards $100<\/a> or more in the long term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In brief: Crypto analyst, Timothy Peterson, has highlighted that Chainlink&#8217;s network activity has grown by a factor of 10 for two years in a row 414 crypto projects use Chainlink technology in one form or another, up from 315 last November The value of LINK has benefited from the increased network activity\u00a0 Crypto analyst, Timothy Peterson, of Cane Island Alternative Advisors, has pointed out that the Chainlink network has grown by a factor of 10 for two years in a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":563160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[108032],"tags":[6958,5749,108163,108108],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565692"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=565692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/565692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/563160"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=565692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=565692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.ethereumworldnews.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=565692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
