Oracles Oracles can be used to provide external information to the smart contracts and therefore to the applications based on the platform. The framework offers standardised methods to include oracles, so using them is a base-function and therefore simple. This way, it is easily possible to include any kind of external information that is necessary to execute the application, enabling multiple efficiency use-cases. It is important to decentralise the oracles as well so that there is no central external database that can manipulate the whole network.
