Blockchain oracles are the unsung heroes of the Web3 world, bridging the gap between blockchain networks and the vast digital landscape. While often overshadowed by technical jargon, these oracles are crucial for propelling the Web3 ecosystem forward. Enter application-specific blockchain oracles, a game-changer in how projects interact with the world outside the blockchain.
Picture a self-driving car cruising down the road, relying on real-time data to navigate obstacles. Just like these cars need external information to make decisions, blockchains require oracles to connect with the real world. Blockchain oracles act as conduits, feeding external data into smart contracts to trigger actions based on real-world events.
The first wave of blockchain oracles provided generalized data feeds, but some projects require more tailored information. That’s where application-specific oracles shine. These custom oracles deliver precise, specialized data feeds tailored to the unique needs of different projects and industries, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of blockchain applications.
Meet Gora, a decentralized oracle provider shaking up the status quo with application-specific oracles. Offering fully customizable, open-source oracles, Gora empowers projects to fine-tune their data feeds for specific industries like insurance, gaming, finance, and supply chain management.
Benefits of Gora’s application-specific oracles include:
