# Oracle

## Overview

Oracles provide access to off-chain data within smart contracts. They enable applications on Pharos to interact with real-world information such as asset prices, market data, and external events.

For many use cases, especially in DeFi and real-world asset applications, oracles are a critical component for bringing reliable data on-chain.

## What You Can Do with Oracles

* Access price feeds and market data
* Build applications that rely on real-world inputs
* Trigger contract logic based on external conditions
* Power lending, trading, and RWA protocols
* Integrate off-chain data into on-chain workflows

## Why It Matters

Smart contracts operate in a deterministic on-chain environment and cannot directly access external data.

Oracles bridge this gap by securely delivering off-chain data to the blockchain, enabling more advanced and dynamic applications.

## Available Oracle Providers

Pharos supports oracle solutions for different data and integration needs.

Refer to the pages below for setup and usage:

* Supra DORA Pull Oracle
* Chainlink Data Streams
