In an official announcement, the Chainlink protocol said that it will not support forked versions of the Ethereum blockchain, including proof-of-work (PoW) forks, post The Merge. The protocol is aligning itself with the Ethereum Foundation and the Ethereum community’s decision.
It will provide its services on the Ethereum blockchain during and after The Merge. Chainlink will, however, transition all of its Ethereum operations from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake (PoS).

In the announcement, Chainlink advised Ethereum developers and dApp teams to develop their smart contract operations accordingly to avoid future mishaps during and after the implementation of PoS.
