John Kiff on 20 Mar 24"In the world of DeFi (decentralized finance), oracles play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of data - especially pricing data - used within various protocols and platforms. A price oracle is a specific type of oracle that provides off-chain (external) price information to on-chain (blockchain) smart contracts. Given the isolated nature of blockchains, smart contracts cannot access external information directly, and oracles serve as a bridge to bring this external data onto the blockchain."
