Anyone in need of a blockchain enhancement solution to perform complex computations in standard programming languages
About Truebit
Truebit is a blockchain enhancement which enables smart contracts to securely perform complex computations in standard programming languages at reduced gas costs. While smart contracts can perform small computations correctly, large computation tasks pose security risks for blockchains. Truebit counteracts this shortcoming via a trustless, retrofitting oracle which correctly performs computational tasks. Any smart contract can issue a computation task to this oracle in the form of WebAssembly bytecode, while anonymous “miners” receive rewards for correctly solving the task. The oracle’s protocol guarantees correctness in two layers: a unanimous consensus layer where anyone can object to faulty solutions, and an on-chain mechanism which incentivizes participation and ensures fair remuneration. These components formally manifest themselves through a combination of novel, off-chain architecture and on-chain smart contracts.

DOS Network
Blockchain-empowered smart contracts are isolated from the internet world and cannot access external data directly. Computation within the smart contract is also excessively expensive and limited by resource capacity. A Decentralized Oracle service supporting multiple heterogeneous blockchains. DOS Network brings real-world data, event and computation power to smart contracts in a secure, reliable, efficient and scalable way. With DOS Network, many scenarios like flight delay insurance are able to achieve automatic indemnification by bringing external insured events to the on-chain insurance contract. Stablecoins and crypto derivatives require frequent usage of DOS Network to fetch real-time price feeds reliably and verifiably. DOS Network makes it easy for crypto lending platforms to get token exchange rates, import borrowers' social media data and trustlessly determine the interest rates on the fly.

Band Protocol
Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. Blockchains are great at immutable storage and deterministic, verifiable computations. However, they cannot access trusted real-world information available outside their networks. Band Protocol enhances smart contract functionalities by granting them access to reliable data without any central points of failure. Decentralized Finance applications need price feeds on token swap and loan collateralization process. With Band Protocol’s built-in price oracle, developers can build DeFi with an absolute peace of mind that the price feeds they’re using are robust and tamper-proof. BandChain is designed to be compatible with all smart contract platforms and blockchain development frameworks. In a trustless and decentralized manner, BandChain does all the heavy lifting jobs of pulling data from external sources, aggregating, and packaging them.
