Chainlink LINK/USD is a cryptocurrency that incentivizes a global network of computers to provide reliable, real-world data to smart contracts which run on top of blockchains.

The Chainlink Keeper Network uses automation bots to trigger smart contract execution.

Chainlink has recently been integrated into a lot of projects, such as the Colombian peso stablecoin DLY.

On October 7, the Crypto Volatility Index (CVI), which is a protocol that tackles the implied volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum, announced the incorporation of Chainlink Keeper to automate the maintenance of maintenance tokens that are pegged to the volatility indices.

VCI registers a Chainlink Keeper to trigger token rebase.

The Chainlink Keepers continually monitor the time.

Their goal is to call the CVI smart contracts when a specific time is reached, in this case, midnight UTC time.

These CVI smart contracts verify that the time conditions are met, and as such, they automatically execute a token release.

This means that every time a rebase is required, an entity needs to call to smart contracts on-chain in order to trigger the rebase function to run.

Chainlink Keepers performs off-chain computation to check for predefined conditions, after which it calls on-chain functions when they are found to occur. 

On October 7, Chainlink (LINK) had a value of $27.21.
