From supply chain to DeFi: How blockchain oracles can transform industries

Image
This project’s decentralized oracle architecture enables Web3 businesses to build a wide range of DApps based on real-world information. Decentralized blockchain oracle service Goracle provides real-world information so anyone can build better Web3 apps based on off-chain data. The blockchain ecosystem was changed forever with the introduction of smart contracts — digital agreements between two parties that can be executed automatically based on certain conditions. From finance to supply chains, the possibilities that building upon smart contracts opens are nearly endless. However, as blockchain only holds transactional data between participants, smart contracts need a constant flow of information from the real world, like stock prices or shipment locations, to check the status of their subjects’ conditions. This is where blockchain oracles — service networks that bridge blockchain to the outside world — come into play. Oracles provide a wide range of real-world data so that smart ...
