Chainlink was founded in 2017 via Sergey Nazarov and Steve Ellis, who introduced the Chainlink protocol and community with Cornell University professor Ari Juels the same year. Between blockchain and off-chain environments, Chainlink acts as a bridge. The community, which provides Smart contracts, was officially released in 2019.

Nazarov was opened to computer systems early, mainly because his mother and father both were engineers. Nazarov “sat in front of a keyboard” for the primary time when he was five.

Nazarov favored playing real-time strategy video games as well.
