Simply put, blockchain oracles facilitate accessing, processing, and transmitting information between the outside world of off-chain data and smart contracts. That said, DeFi and applied blockchain apps wouldn’t be possible without them.
The data they transmit can come in various forms, given they allow communication with different off-chain systems–including web APIs, cloud providers, e-signatures, payment systems, IoT devices, and other blockchains, amongst others.
That said, it’s valuable to understand their potential when it comes to increasing blockchain’s utility, what are the most exciting developments aimed to mitigate the trust that is being placed in any of the current oracle solutions, and what roles will these arbiters of truth play in the future of decentralized services.
To answer these questions, CryptoSlate talked to some of the prominent experts on the subject, some of who are going to meet in Berlin this June at the world’s first technologically agnostic sum
