About Cash Oracles

Cash Oracles are software that provides signed price information for various assets such that they can be used in the Bitcoin Cash scripting engine.

Operators

Each oracle is run by an operator, who can provide a signed metadata message stating who they are and can also provide contact and support information.

Price Sources

In order for an oracle to provide price information, they must have a source for their pricing data. Each oracle can use their own source, and can provide signed metadata messages stating what price source they are observing.

Attestation

As each oracle observes a price point, they create an attestion in the form of a price oracle message. This message is then signed and distributed on the oracle network.
