Audience
Anyone interested in a decentralized oracle network that provides reliable, tamper-proof inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain
About Chainlink
Connect your smart contract to the outside world. Chainlink's decentralized oracle network provides reliable, tamper-proof inputs and outputs for complex smart contracts on any blockchain. Start building your universally connected smart contract. Use decentralization, trusted nodes, premium data, and cryptographic proofs to connect highly accurate and available data/APIs to any smart contract. Build on a flexible framework that can retrieve data from any API, connect with your existing systems, and integrate with any blockchain, now and in the future. Integrate battle-hardened and time-tested oracle solutions that secure billions of dollars in value for market-leading blockchain projects. Independently monitor and verify Chainlink’s open-source code, the performance of its oracle networks, and the quality of individual node operators.

Cosmos
The Internet of Blockchains. Cosmos is an ever-expanding ecosystem of interconnected apps and services, built for a decentralized future. Enter a new universe of connected services. Cosmos apps and services connect using IBC, the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol. This innovation enables you to freely exchange assets and data across sovereign decentralized blockchains. Serving as the economic center of Cosmos, the Cosmos Hub is a blockchain that provides vital services to the Interchain. Set to operate a next-gen decentralized exchange, swapping digital assets from across the Interchain, with very low fees and instant transaction confirmation. With the upcoming Interchain Staking feature, ATOM will soon be securing many chains, in exchange for additional staking rewards. A core mission of the Hub – to connect chains by establishing IBC connections with compatible chains and operating decentralized bridges with chains like Ethereum and Bitcoin.

API3
Create powerful decentralized applications with API3’s decentrally governed and quantifiably secure data feeds. API3 data feeds, dAPIs, aggregate data from first-party oracles, operated by some of the world’s premier API providers. Decentralized, trust-minimized and transparent governance. First-party oracles instead of third-party middlemen. Users insured against data feed malfunctions. Real-world data for any smart contract platform. API3 data feeds are governed by an open DAO of stakeholders, industry experts and project partners. This allows dAPIs to be operated with maximal transparency, minimal required trust in centralized operators, and no centralized attack surfaces. API token holders can take a direct part in governing the project by staking API3 tokens into the API3 insurance staking contract, which grants them shares in the API3 DAO.

Band Protocol
Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. Blockchains are great at immutable storage and deterministic, verifiable computations. However, they cannot access trusted real-world information available outside their networks. Band Protocol enhances smart contract functionalities by granting them access to reliable data without any central points of failure. Decentralized Finance applications need price feeds on token swap and loan collateralization process. With Band Protocol’s built-in price oracle, developers can build DeFi with an absolute peace of mind that the price feeds they’re using are robust and tamper-proof. BandChain is designed to be compatible with all smart contract platforms and blockchain development frameworks. In a trustless and decentralized manner, BandChain does all the heavy lifting jobs of pulling data from external sources, aggregating, and packaging them.
