Chainlink’s details how Chainlink Function can serve developers. 
Users can connect to Meta, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and other platforms using Chainlink function. 

ChainLink has revealed the different use cases that come with Chainlink function, as developers prepare to use the newly launched platform.

Chainlink recently launched a platform called ‘Chainlink Functions’  which is a self-service serverless platform. Using the platform, developers can connect their decentralized applications (dApps) or smart contracts to any Web 2.0 API.

Chainlink has detailed the functions of the platform in a recent blogpost. There are five ways that developers can use the ChainLink Function in their Decentralized Applications. They include connecting to Twilio, Meta, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, and Decentralized Insurance.

Imagine if you could connect the biggest Web2 platforms in the world to blockchains with just a few lines of code.

Using Chainlink Functions, business owners can successfully launch social media campaigns with the integration of Web3 into social media. Businesses looking to make an advert can offer a limited number of unique digital collectibles in the form of NFTs to their customers.

Users will then respond with their wallet addresses, along with the specific hashtag for the advert. Businesses will later interact with a smart contract to handle the NFT minting.

The eligible list of customer wallet addresses can be found using Chainlink Functions and smart contracts. The smart contract will receive the output from Chainlink Functions, mint an NFT for each address and reach out to the winners. Winners will be able to access their newly minted digital collectibles in the Instagram Digital Collectibles gallery or in their account on OpenSea.

Chainlink Functions offers developers more use cases

The second use case focuses on facilitating music artist and record label streaming income digital agreements. This involves the use of the cloud communication platform Twilio. Using a smart contract, an artist and a record label can set up an agreement that will allow the artist to receive a certain amount in USD, depending on their music streams. Chainlink noted.

The ability for the smart contract to reach out and find the artist’s Spotify streams and generate an email alert to the artist is not something that smart contracts can do themselves. In this example, the smart contract uses Chainlink Functions to connect to a music data API to come to consensus on the number of Spotify streams the artist has.

The next use case shows how developers can create a universal connector Chainlink Function. This can be used to connect to any AWS Data Exchange. This will allow developers to integrate third-party data in AWS with smart contracts, in a seamless manner: The blog post added.

The universal connector has been built as a JavaScript function for all nodes in the Chainlink Functions decentralized oracle network (DON) to execute before coming to consensus on the result of the API call.

The last two use cases detail how developers can drive and influence logic in an on-chain smart contract, using website data collected by Google Analytics, and how developers can create parametric insurance using multiple data sources.
