What is
Oracle Pools?
Oracle Pools — децентрализованный механизм оракулов в экосистеме Ergo для публикации внешних данных (например, цен) на цепочку.
Оракулы связывают смарт‑контракты с внешним миром: цены, события, индексы. В децентрализованном варианте важно, чтобы данные не зависели от единого поставщика. Oracle Pools используют контрактные правила и экономические стимулы, чтобы агрегировать данные и снижать риск манипуляций.
Key Points
- Оракулы доставляют внешние данные в смарт‑контракты
- Децентрализация снижает риск единой точки отказа
- Важно качество источников и стимулов
- Критично для DeFi (цены, ликвидации, расчёты)
Use Cases
1
Ценовые фиды для DEX и кредитования
2
Индексы и расчётные данные для протоколов
3
Автоматизация условий в смарт‑контрактах
Technical Details
Oracle pools use a hierarchical box structure: individual oracles post to 'datapoint boxes', which are aggregated into 'pool boxes' containing the consensus value. Oracles stake tokens and are rewarded for accurate data. The aggregation logic (median, weighted average) is encoded in ErgoScript.

Questions about Oracle Pools
Common questions about this topic
How to build DeFi on Ergo?
Building DeFi on Ergo starts with understanding the eUTXO model and ErgoScript. Unlike account-based chains, Ergo's box model provides deterministic execution, no MEV by design, and predictable gas costs. Use Oracle Pools for price feeds, and leverage existing patterns from Spectrum Finance and SigmaUSD.

How to get started with Ergo?
Start by getting a wallet (Nautilus for browser, Terminus for mobile). Back up your seed phrase securely offline. Get some ERG from an exchange (Gate.io, KuCoin) or DEX (Spectrum). Make a test transaction. Then explore: try DeFi on Spectrum, check out NFTs, or dive into the technology if you're a builder.

Is Ergo a good investment?
This is not financial advice. Ergo has strong fundamentals: fair launch (no VC dump risk), innovative technology (eUTXO, Sigma Protocols, NiPoPoWs), active development, and a cypherpunk ethos. It's a smaller market cap project with higher risk/reward than established chains. Research thoroughly, understand the technology, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

How to use Spectrum DEX on Ergo?
Connect your Nautilus wallet to Spectrum Finance, select tokens to swap, review the rate and slippage, then confirm. Spectrum uses AMM liquidity pools for instant trades. You can also provide liquidity to earn fees. All trades are atomic - they complete fully or not at all, with no front-running possible.
