Extension: Decision Support Model for Selecting the Optimal Blockchain Oracle Platform: An Evaluation of Key Factors
Decision Support Model for Selecting the Optimal Blockchain Oracle Platform: An Evaluation of Key Factors presents the following source proposition: Instead, smart contracts use agents known as blockchain oracles to collect and provide data feeds to the contracts. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchains cannot access off-chain data, and resolving this by using centralized oracles nullifies the advantages of decentralized systems while creating major security risks such as bribing and intimidation. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
