Welcome back, everyone !!! You have been amazing to have reached here.

This week, we are going to spend our time learning about oracles. Oracles will be your fundamental need for building a dApp. They allow us to interact with real-world data, but we must be conscious as a centralized oracle can cripple the dApp. You will be spending your time learning about the industry-leading project ChainLink.

Goal:

To get comfortable with the fundamentals of Oracles. Understanding why we need them, why we should use decentralized ones, and how to interact with them.

Assignment:

  1. Read through Ethereum foundation's documentation on Oracles.
  2. Go through the "The Basics" section of the ChainLink tutorial here.
