Oracles

An oracle brings real-world data — such as a live market price — onto the blockchain, so your workflow can use it. For example, a workflow could look up the current BTC price to settle a payment.

Using an oracle in Toolblox is straightforward:

1. Add a property of type Oracle to your asset.
2. Choose the oracle provider: Chainlink (the default), Quex or 1Inch.
3. Set a fallback asset (for example BTC), or point to an asset-id property. Using a property lets you decide which asset to look up dynamically while the contract runs.

Provider availability

Quex is currently available only on the Redbelly Testnet. It supports many data sources — see the Quex sources list.
