Switchboard is a decentralized oracle network that empowers developers to own and configure their own data feeds. Web3 developers rely on real-world data in their applications but blockchains have no way to pull data from external sources. Oracles solve this problem by residing between a blockchain and the internet and facilitate the flow of information for developers to consume downstream.
Most people associate oracles with a price feed but Switchboard took a more generic approach; Switchboard can route any on or off chain data source such as prices, sport results, weather information, or the number of followers Elon Musk has on twitter. Switchboard believes this generic approach to sourcing data will open the door to new web3 applications that were previously out of reach.
The internet is a vast place and sourcing public data can be challenging and time consuming. The Switchboard publisher aims to solve this problem by building a decentralized data catalog where users can contribute job definitions and receive a portion of the protocol fees if a developer builds and funds an on-chain feed (“Democratizing Data”).
Switchboard is looking to the SuperteamDAO to perform a deep dive on Switchboard data feeds, explain the various data feed configuration parameters, and provide a general walkthrough of the publisher. By the end, a reader should have a fundamental understanding of Switchboard data feeds and have the ability to publish their own custom data feed.
