GateChain Launches GateOracle – A New Decentralized Oracle Feature

GateChain, the next-gen public blockchain founded by crypto exchange Gate.io, launched a new oracle feature with Chainlink. This “GateOracle” feature will be integrated into GateChain’s system operations for advanced data interoperability, GateOracle. The GateOracle provides real-world data to smart contracts running on the GateChain. 

What Is an Oracle?

Blockchain oracles are smart contracts that provide blockchain-based entities with real-world data. Applications deployed on the blockchain exist in a silo, which could be problematic for DeFi or betting applications that need instant access to real-time data feeds. An oracle acts as a bridge between the blockchains and the external worlds to provide this crucial data. 

Since oracles are a vital component of the modern DeFi ecosystem, they must be robust and free from manipulation. Truly overcoming the oracle’s vulnerabilities necessitates decentralized oracles to prevent data manipulation, inaccuracy, and downtime. 

Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network (DON) combines multiple independent oracle node operators and multiple reliable data sources to establish end-to-end decentralization. With its superior product offering, Chainlink has become the premier blockchain oracle service globally.

What Is GateOracle?

Deployed by GateChain via Chainlink, the GateOracle allows users to use GateOracle Data Feeds to connect smart contracts to asset pricing data such as the ETH/USD feed. Every price feed has its peculiar function and an on-chain address. Contracts can read pricing data from each address, allowing these data feeds to use the aggregated data from various independent GateOracle node operators.
