WINkLINK’S REAL TEST IS THE DATA SMART CONTRACTS RECEIVE A blockchain can execute a smart contract exactly as programmed. The quality of the result also depends on the information supplied to that contract. This is the problem oracle networks address. A lending protocol needs current asset prices when calculating collateral and liquidation thresholds. A derivatives platform needs dependable reference data for settlement. A blockchain game may require randomness that users can verify. Automated contracts need trusted conditions before they can execute. WINkLink provides several services for these requirements, including price feeds, verifiable randomness, external API access and smart contract automation. The process behind an oracle is important. Data has to come from suitable sources. Oracle nodes collect the information, the network processes the inputs, and the resulting data is delivered to smart contracts on chain. That creates several points where reliability matters. A stale price can affect a lending position. An incorrect market value can produce an incorrect settlement. Poor randomness can affect the fairness of an application. A faulty external input can trigger an unwanted contract action. Oracle infrastructure therefore sits close to the foundation of many blockchain applications. The recent $WIN numbers have brought additional attention to the network, with the figures shared showing $11.74M in 24 hour trading volume, representing a 127% increase, alongside a 1.16% price increase. Those numbers describe market activity over a short period. The infrastructure operates on a much longer timeline. Every new application that connects blockchain logic with external information increases the importance of dependable data delivery. That is where WINkLink has its long term role within the TRON ecosystem. @WinkLink_Oracle @justinsuntron #TRONEcoStar
