Oracle

A trusted bridge between off-chain real-world data (sensor readings, coverage proofs, compute jobs) and on-chain smart contracts.

DePIN oracles receive data from hardware nodes, verify it against protocol rules, and publish the result on-chain so that smart contracts can distribute rewards accordingly. Decentralized oracle networks (e.g. Chainlink, Pyth) aggregate multiple data sources to reduce the risk of a single point of failure or manipulation.
