Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the importance of trusted information entering into blockchain systems provided by oracles. Whether these are human inputted manual signals, or automatic machine updates from Internet of Things (IoT) devices, updating records is at the heart of any blockchain-based system. Smart contracts that depend on external data rely on these devices to function correctly.
