Robust Aggregation refers to the process of collecting and consolidating diverse data points or liquidity sources in a resilient, reliable, and secure manner. In the context of digital assets, this involves gathering information from multiple exchanges, protocols, or oracles to provide a comprehensive and accurate view. The goal is to ensure data integrity and availability, even when individual sources experience disruptions or inconsistencies. It enhances the reliability of information within decentralized systems.
Context
The need for Robust Aggregation is paramount in decentralized finance and other blockchain applications that rely on external data or diverse liquidity. Discussions often concern the design of oracle networks and liquidity aggregation protocols to resist manipulation and provide consistent pricing. A critical future development involves enhancing the cryptographic security and decentralization of aggregation mechanisms to ensure their resilience against various forms of attack and data corruption.
A new cryptographic primitive, NIVA, combines functional encryption and verifiable proofs to enable private, robust, and non-interactive data aggregation by untrusted servers.
