# kaal:claim:3782217-013

**Claim.** Robust decentralized oracles do not yet exist despite well funded proposals, because decentralized oracles are themselves DAOs and therefore inherit the same missing incentive structure, governance processes, and history that all DAOs suffer from.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- state of the technology at the time of writing

**Source quote.**

> Put simply, decentralized oracles are DAOs, so they still lack the proper incentive structure and governance processes and history that all DAOs suffer from.
