Mythologically, oracles were mystical figures that provided wise counsel to rulers and emperors by tapping into their cosmic powers of foresight and fortune telling. These oracles were key figures as it was with their insight that powerful individuals would decide the course of entire kingdoms and civilizations. In the world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, an oracle serves as a bridge between the external world and the world that exists within the blockchain. The oracle provides and validates vital information which exists externally to the blockchains so they can fulfill their contracts and tasks, as blockchains only have access to information that only exists on their networks. Therefore, without oracles, blockchains’ function would be incredibly limited as they require information from the outside to broaden the scope at which they operate.

As overpowering the Oracle’s alluring presence and striking gaze is, we are left wondering what secret insight hides behind those mystifying eyes….
