Steemit Crypto Academy Contest / S8W4 - Blockchain Oracles|| 25% to #null

Hello esteemed members of #steemitCrypyoAcademy i hope you are doing great in your blessed lives, i am also good. I am feeling very excited while taking part in season 8 week 4 engagement challenge. Hence the topic is incredible and about the blockchain oracles. I would like to explore my knowledge about the blockchain oracles. Here is my post.

An blockchain oracle acts as a bridge or intermediate as it facilitates in connection of blockchain to exterior World. It enables the transfer of information from one source to a real source. Before the blockchain oracles the transmission of data to the outside was not possible but now this problem has been solved and access of data has been possible by blockchain and its contracts can access data easily in the Real World.

I would like to explain it in an easier way. Before the knowledge of blockchain oracles, there was no bridge from fr contracts that can transfer from the inside network to the outside World. Therefore only limited excess of data transmission was possible due to the lack of a proper bridge of connection. As the knowledge of blockchain oracles now this issue has solved. The facilitation of in and on-chain is now becomes easy with the help of blockchain oracles.

It can be understood by a simple example of how blockchain oracles can help with on and off-chain data. For example, the two people had a bet for different proportions. How it can be divided between who is winning and who is the loser? But it can be done easily with the help of smart contracts in a way that it can execute in and output and thus winner can get profit. It was managed with the help of blockchain oracles which enable connection of on and off-chain data linking.

Now, the question arises how do blockchain oracles work? It works with the help of Chainlink. The chain link acts as the role of a bridge between on and off-chain data linking and makes it possible for the transfer of contracts from the inside network to the outside World.

There are different types of such as Witnet and paralink etc.

As its clear that the connection between blockchain and smart contracts was only possible due to blockchain oracles. It made convenient for the data transfer very securely.
It can be processed in following steps.

• Data query
• Data verification
• Authenticity of Data

The different types of oracles are follow.

• Centralized and Decentralized oracles
• Hardware and software oracles
• Inbound and Outbound Oracles
• Human Oracles
• Computation Oracles
• Contract-specific Oracles

1. Centralized and Decentralized Oracles

In centralized and decentralized oracles they worked on different principles.
the centralized oracles working is based on a single commodity and data can easily be attacked and always at risk to disclose.
While the working of Decentralized oracles is established on numerous sources of entities therefore it has less chance of data hacking or attacked and can br processed skillfully.

2. Software and Hardware Oracles

The working software oracle is based on online sources such as databases, PDFs, and websites.
While the working of hardware oracles is based on RFID and sensors chips that belong to physical data sources.
The software oracles help get data exchanged from the crypto and forex exchanges.

3. Inbound and Outbound Oracles

4. Human Oracles

The working of human oracles is based on the human. It worked on the principle of

• Data collection
• Checking originality
• Data conversion into small entities
  This Oracle's based on the verification system, of the person who is going to contract data and thus there are fewer-minimized chances of data risk and deceitful chances. The working is more precise due to the security system.

5. Computation Oracles

6. Contract-specific Oracles

As the name referred contract specific oracles it based on the working principles of one smart entity, while if multiple entities are required to develop we have to use an equivalent number of contract-specific oracles.

• The drawback of contract-specific oracles is that they are less frequently used as a lot of time is required to process them.
  
  

What do you think about decentralized Oracles?

To solve this issue there was the introduction of decentralized oracles.
It was found effective due to

• Multiple entities
• Fewer transformations
• Fewer risk factors
• More reliability
  
  

With every passing day, the decentralized oracles got more attention in large sectors especially in mega business projects due to high accuracy and precision in work. But for this purpose, a mega amount of budget is needed as its working principles are based on numerous nodes system.

In the last after the above discussion may conclude that the working of decentralized oracles is much better, accurate, and organized as compared to centralized oracles.

Give us a use case of a decentralized Oracle.

As the decentralized oracles become very familiar due to high proficiency in data contracts from smart entities, to the exterior World. As it worked as a bridge for data transfer from contracts to outside the real world with more speed and precision. It comes to be outstanding in the World of cryptocurrency. It may open new doors for the crypto World and also in the blockchain business. There are various uses of decentralized oracles few are as follows.

The working of Non-Fungible Tokens is primarily based on the use of decentralized oracles in a way that may able to remake their dispersion, occurs, and rates. For the execution, it used the computational oracles by the random use of Non-Fungible Tokens. Thus it can produce and assess the random Non-Fungible Tokens.

The Aavegotchi is based on the DeFi collection game, is it is based on the authorized ussharinghare their NFT avatars, and after that, it was sent to the Aavegotchi metaverse. Here the rise in the price of their NFT is provided by Chainlink Verifiable Randomness Function. It may helpful for on-chain random which can be checked by the users unassisted.
