TechFlow news — Flare has announced its integration with professional infrastructure providers including Ankr, Figment, Restake, and NorthStake as validators and data providers for the network's native oracle. Flare becomes the first smart contract platform where these institutional validators also offer decentralized data sources for builders on the network.
By combining validation with data provisioning, Flare will enable developers to access the broadest range of data in a fully decentralized manner at minimal cost and scale, securely bringing real-world data on-chain via oracles. Flare aims to expand the possibilities of blockchain by enabling new use cases through access to a wider array of decentralized data.
Flare currently has a total of 91 network validators worldwide, all of which serve as data providers for the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO), making FTSO one of the most decentralized and reliable oracles available to developers.
