On-Demand Oracle - Technical Manual v0.1

Jesse Ireland November 22, 2023

This technical manual is provided as an instructive and academic document for developers and advanced users. The technical manual focuses on the contracts themselves, how the front end interacts with them, and the internal mechanics of various systems within the On-Demand Oracle (ODO).

The ODO is a system of pre-deployed and deployed-on-demand smart contracts that allow anyone to request that publicly-available data be added to the blockchain on which the ODO is deployed by independent third-party data providers.

Please note, the web-based front end of the ODO automates all user interactions, including contract deployment and data provision, meaning that casual users can act as both data requesters and providers without understanding the underlying mechanics or referring to the technical manual.
