At the time of writing, you can trade LINK against the fiat USD currency on Coinbase Pro.  Smart contracts are not able to access data on their own. Since connecting these contracts to data via node is deemed as a point of failure, using a decentralized service could be a solution. Therefore, the ChainLink project sees its mission in the integration of the off-chain data into smart contracts through a reliable decentralized oracle network. LINK tokens hit the market in 2017 and the currency quickly made its way to the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market cap. Later it reached the top 20. ChainLink partners with a large banking network SWIFT.

EOS is an innovational blockchain-based ecosystem promoted as an alternative to Ethereum due to a similar set of features. It was founded in 2017 by a company block.one. EOS is a platform for hosting of decentralized applications which provides developers with a rich choice of functions and services. The platform uses a native token of the same name, EOS. EOS is aimed at the total removal of the transaction fees and limitless network capacity reaching millions of transactions per second. At the same time, there is still much work to do. The governance model of this platform is quite unusual. Instead of anonymity, EOS relies on the popularity and responsibility of elected independent block producers. The protocol is known as delegated-proof-of-stake.
