ChainLink (LINK) specializes in Smart contracts (if you did not know, it is any "agreement" between two entities). They represent a solution for code overwrite problems or the use of external information. Generally, similar things appear in a centralized world, but even in decentralized ones, similar mistakes appear and people are making money.
What they created, they named the Secure Oracle Network. Oracle defines an entity that oversees the system. This network is not just about decentralization, but it also mentions the use of equity interest, insurance (IoT) or supply chain (GPS).
It literally builds the bridge between on-chain and off-chain.
On-chain is defined as the Oracle network, which operates through three contracts.
1. Reputation
2. Matching
3. Total / Resultant
Off-chain is anything except Blockchain. Node ChainLink will collect data from either script or API from here.
Ideal procedure:
User creates Oracle request -> Oracle takes "message" -> Oracle requests off-chain data -> Oracle validates -> Oracle informs the user.
Below, you can think of, for example, the Smart Contract functionality
Token LINK will be used to reward Nodes drawing off-chain data, processing them.

If you interested in the project, here is my perspective on a potential buy.
I'm putting a strike in the spot where (some) might see a hidden gap, a place where the price should fall. Funded views see the price even lower.
Purchase is on you.
