Blockchain oracle

Blockchain oracle is a 3-rd party service that provides smart contracts with off-chain data such as feeds, events, payment rails, and alike, as blockchains and smart contracts can’t access data stored outside of the network.

Without oracles, blockchain networks are limited in their interaction with external sources. An oracle bridges blockchains and outside data.
