Trustless Data Ingestion

Mechanism

Trustless data ingestion refers to the process of acquiring and integrating external data into a blockchain or smart contract system in a manner that does not rely on a single, centralized trusted entity. This mechanism typically employs decentralized oracle networks that cryptographically verify the authenticity and accuracy of data sources. It ensures that information, crucial for derivative contract execution, is resistant to manipulation and censorship. This is foundational for DeFi integrity.
