Links need more than just a color change to distinguish them.
If your solution is `font-weight: 500`, don’t be surprised when you get dinged for 1.4.1 Use of Color.
`500` often renders no differently than the default (`400`). It’s adversarial conformance.
Use an underline.
Not sure IIRC but 3:1 against surrounding text + 4.5:1 against background cannot be achieved right ? So cannot be color only.
I would add : please also use a decent font size. It's part of contrast. Even in your footers, legends or comment sections : i'm interested in being able to read links in here too!
@villapirorum It can be achieved, yes. It’s the 4.5:1 with three colors that cannot.
But 1.4.1 and G183 redefined color a few years ago to allow a change of *both* hue and lightness to count as two methods that are not both color.

So 1.4.1 really only cares about 3:1 contrast.
