Developers of smart contracts using the Avalanche ecosystem may now quickly integrate Web2 APIs and cloud services into their smart contracts by using Chainlink Functions. This implies that any Web2 API can now be brought onto Avalanche, thanks to Chainlink Functions.

Prior to today, Web3 developers were unable to use their smart contracts to access social media signals, AI computation, messaging services and other services by connecting them to current Web2 APIs.

For the Avalanche ecosystem, the inclusion of Chainlink Functions opens up a wide range of new smart contract use cases since it makes it simpler for developers to connect Web3 apps with Web2 data sources.
