Blockchain oracles serve as bridges between blockchains and the outside world. But there's more to them than just that 👇
data . However, for many contractual agreements, it is vital to have relevant information from the outside world to execute the agreement.
To call data from the outside world, the smart contract has to be invoked, and network resources have to be spent. Some oracles also have the ability to not only relay information to smart contracts but to send it back to external sources. Without the oracle relaying the data, there would have been no way to settle this bet in a way that couldn’t be gamed by one of the participants.Blockchain oracles can be classified depending on a number of different qualities:– is it inbound or outbound?A single oracle can fall into multiple categories. For example, an oracle that sources information from a company website is a centralized inbound software oracle.
An example of this could be a sensor that checks if a truck transporting goods has arrived at a loading bay. If it does, it relays the information to a smart contract that can then execute decisions based on it.Inbound oracles transmit information from external sources to smart contracts, while outbound oracles send information from smart contracts to the external world.
Decentralized oracles share some of the same objectives as public blockchains – avoiding counterparty risk. They increase the reliability of the information provided to smart contracts by not relying on a single source of truth. The smart contract queries multiple oracles to determine the validity and accuracy of the data – this is why decentralized oracles can also be referred to as consensus oracles.
, the possibility of a fraudster faking their identity and providing corrupted data is relatively low.Since smart contracts execute decisions based on data provided by oracles, they are key to a healthy blockchain ecosystem. The main challenge with designing oracles is that if the oracle is compromised, the smart contract relying on it is also compromised. This is often referred to as The Oracle Problem.
