About Algoracle


Algoracleis a decentralized oracle network that links the Algorand blockchain to the physical world. To obtain data, smart contracts building on Algorand can call the feed contract for values. Algoracle will also debut sports, cryptocurrencies, stock, and weather feeds over the coming months.
