Data-Driven Layer

Definition

A data-driven layer in blockchain architecture utilizes external information to influence on-chain operations. This layer typically involves oracles or other data feeds that bring real-world data, such as asset prices or event outcomes, onto the blockchain. It allows smart contracts to react to conditions beyond their immediate ledger state, thereby extending their utility. The accuracy and reliability of this external data are critical for the correct execution of decentralized applications.
