Smart contracts alone are deterministic; to interact with the real world they need oracles. These secure data feeds bring price feeds, weather, election results into the blockchain, enabling DeFi protocols like lending, derivatives, prediction markets. Decentralized oracle networks (Chainlink, Band) mitigate single‑point failure, but they also introduce new trust assumptions. Understanding oracle architecture is key for safe DeFi.
