Oracle services

Overview

An oracle is a third-party service that enables smart contracts access real-life data feeds: prices, stock marked data, weather conditions, etc.

Omnichain Application builders can incorporate Connect, an oracle service supported by Warden, into their apps. See the sections below to learn more.

tip

Access to oracle data feeds significantly enhances the capabilities of Warden's Intents, allowing users to create highly specific Intents such as limit orders for decentralized exchanges. Once we implement Triggers, users will also be able to create Intents triggered by changes in data feeds.

Skip:Connect

Warden integrates with x/oracle – an external module by Skip Protocol. This module provides access to Skip:Connect – an oracle service offering mostly price data, formerly known as Slinky.

Key features of Warden's integration with Connect include the following:

• Secured by Warden's validator set
  This integration uses the security framework of the chain, ensuring rapid price updates without relying on third-party systems.

• Exceptional performance
  With millisecond-fresh price updates for every block, this oracle system can support over 2,000 currencies, providing unmatched flexibility and scalability.

tip

The data provided by Connect is validated by Warden's network and written on-chain. If you're a validator, see the guide explaining how to operate Connect.

Available data feeds

Skip:Connect can support over 2,000 currencies – see the available data feeds on GitHub. Please note that this list may change over the course of time.
