How the LINK → NEAR exchange runs
- Work out the amount in the calculator — orders start at 6.8478 LINK.
- Give a NEAR address on NEAR and a contact for the order.
- Send LINK on Chainlink, exactly the amount the order shows.
- Nothing else is needed from you: as soon as the network confirms the transfer, the robot sends NEAR Protocol to your address. The order page shows the status.
Check this before sending LINK
- The address network is NEAR. Sending through another network almost always means losing the transfer.
- The transfer must not be smaller than 6.8478 LINK.
- Copy the address in full, then check its first and last characters once it is pasted.
- Send exactly the amount stated in the order: the automation matches your payment against it, and any difference sends the order back for recalculation.

Why people take the LINK → NEAR route
- Fuel for NEARWithout NEAR Protocol you cannot pay for a transfer or a contract call in NEAR — the coin is needed for anything that happens in that ecosystem.
- Different basketsDaily moves of LINK and NEAR over 90 days link at 0.55 (they travel alike) — the weaker the link, the less a portfolio rests on one coin.
- It works both waysThe NEAR → LINK direction is open as well — going back into LINK takes the same route and the same automation.
Common questions: LINK → NEAR
What rate does LINK to NEAR run at?
As of Sep 30, 2026 18:30 it is 1 LINK = 2.7252 NEAR. The figure updates on its own, and the calculator always shows the current one. On the market that is around $14.69.
What amounts does LINK → NEAR accept?
From 6.8478 to 682,000 LINK per order. The floor is roughly $100.39.
Why can I not swap less than 6.8478 LINK?
The network fee and the handling do not depend on the amount. On a transfer below 6.8478 LINK they eat a noticeable share of it, and the swap stops making sense for either side.
Is anything charged on top of the rate?
No. The payout is already worked out at the rate in the calculator. Separately you pay only the network fee for sending LINK, and the blockchain takes that one.
How long does swapping LINK for NEAR take?
The clock starts with confirmations: as soon as Chainlink confirms your transfer, the order goes out for payout with no operator involved. After that the timing is set by how busy the network is — which is the difference between quick and instant.
Which network will NEAR arrive in?
NEAR Protocol arrives in its own NEAR network — a plain NEAR address is all you need.
What happens if the rate moves while I am paying?
Nothing: the rate is locked in the order and holds for as long as the order is alive. It is recalculated only if the payment arrives late or for a different amount — so send the exact sum, and send it promptly.
What did the LINK to NEAR rate do over the month?
Over the month, minus 53.97%: a low of 2.6007, a high of 6.1282, an average of 4.3252 NEAR per 1 LINK.
Can I swap back, NEAR for LINK?
Yes, the reverse is open too: 1 NEAR = 0.366938 LINK. The link to switch sits under the calculator.
