Chainlink Launches Onchain Reserve Backed by Enterprise and Onchain Revenue

August 7, 2025 — By Crypto Coin Show Staff

Chainlink has announced the launch of the Chainlink Reserve, a new onchain reserve of LINK tokens aimed at supporting the long term sustainability and growth of the Chainlink Network. The reserve is being built using revenue from both enterprise clients and onchain users — and has already surpassed $1 million in LINK during its initial phase.

The move signals a new era for Chainlink’s token economics, as demand for the protocol’s services grows across traditional financial institutions, blockchain developers, and DeFi protocols. Chainlink says the reserve will help strengthen long term incentives across its ecosystem.

The funds in the reserve come from both onchain service usage and offchain enterprise payments, which are converted into LINK using Chainlink’s Payment Abstraction infrastructure. This system allows users to pay for Chainlink services in stablecoins, gas tokens, or other assets, which are then automatically swapped into LINK using decentralized exchange protocols.

“By turning offchain and onchain revenue into LINK and placing it into a public reserve, we are reinforcing the long term strength of the network,” a Chainlink spokesperson said.

While many blockchains and protocols rely on token inflation or grants to fund operations, Chainlink’s approach emphasizes real revenue and onchain transparency. According to the team, no withdrawals from the reserve are planned for several years.

Chainlink has already generated hundreds of millions of dollars in total revenue, much of it from large enterprise clients who pay offchain for access to Chainlink services. With growing interest from the world’s leading banks and capital markets institutions, Chainlink expects these revenue streams to increase in the future.

A public dashboard for the reserve is available at reserve.chain.link, providing onchain visibility into reserve balances. The full blog post from Chainlink is available here.
