Oracle

This guide is only for validator nodes

The Slinky Oracle consists of two main elements:

1. An on-chain component that retrieves price data from the sidecar with each block, forwards these prices to the blockchain through vote extensions, and compiles prices from all validators involved.

2. A sidecar process dedicated to polling price information from various providers and delivering this data to the on-chain component.

For additional information on the oracle, refer to the Slinky repository at https://github.com/skip-mev/slinky/.

Pre-compiled binaries will be made available in the future. Currently, users are advised to compile the necessary software from the source code.
