Chainlink Web 2.0 Linkage

The new Chainlink Functions platform will essentially help developers connect their decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts to any web 2.0 APIs. Kemal El Moujahid, chief product officer, Chainlink Labs, said the platform will facilitate activities on web 2.0 APIs within minutes. It also helps developers make linkages to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Meta.
