Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Chainlink: A Decentralized Oracle Network |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A committee of nodes that fetch an off-chain fact, aggregate it, and sign the result. |
| Who may write | The oracle nodes selected for the job. The chain records their answer. It does not observe the world. |
| What is settled | A value inside a contract. Not the truth of the event, beyond the committee's claim. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Independent operators and a source that has not already been captured. |
| What this library says afterwards | A single feed run by one operator is narrower than the paper. See the study. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
