Oracle
An oracle is a service that provides blockchains with external data, such as prices, weather information, or event outcomes. Since blockchains cannot access real-world data on their own, oracles act as trusted data bridges. They are essential for many DeFi applications, including lending protocols and derivatives. Oracle reliability is critical, as incorrect data can lead to significant losses. As a result, decentralized oracle networks have become an important part of blockchain infrastructure.
