Oracles | Accessing on-chain data on Rootstock
Oracles act as bridges, securely bringing external data onto the Rootstock blockchain for dApps to utilize.
How Oracles Work:
- Data Request: A dApp sends a request to an oracle network, specifying the data it needs.
- Data Collection: Oracles retrieve the data from reliable sources (weather APIs, stock exchanges).
- Verification: Multiple oracles within the network verify the data for accuracy and security.
- Delivery: The verified data is then delivered to the dApp.

Redstone Finance
RedStone provides data feeds to blockchains such as Rootstock and layer 2 scaling solutions across the entire blockchain ecosystem that are both EVM and non-EVM compatible. RedStone allows data to be provided on-demand rather than on a fixed schedule, reducing the costs of putting data 'on-chain'. This is achieved by storing data off of the blockchain as cryptography signed packages and allowing smart contracts of dApps to fetch data when necessary.
