Data Oracles

Data oracles in BotChain act as validation points that check robotic information before it is stored on the blockchain. When a drone captures GPS coordinates, a warehouse robot reports task completion, or a farming device logs sensor readings, the oracle layer ensures that the data is consistent and complete. Only after this process is the event recorded if the user has chosen to upload it.

The function of BotChain oracles is not to invent new types of data but to make existing signals more transparent and publicly accessible. Robots already generate telemetry, commands, and logs. What BotChain does is provide a framework where this information can be verified, recorded, and later retrieved in a reliable way. The idea is closer to how Etherscan makes blockchain transactions visible to everyone rather than creating entirely new forms of information.

Example A delivery drone completes a route. The operator uploads the delivery confirmation. The oracle checks that the GPS position matches the intended destination and that the log is not corrupted. Once validated, the record is written to the blockchain. This allows the operator to prove the task was completed with evidence that can be accessed and reviewed by others.

For hobbyists, this makes logs of flights or experiments easier to trust and share. For small businesses, it provides records of service that are auditable and independent of vendor systems. By focusing on accessibility and validation, BotChain positions itself as a transparent data layer for robotics rather than an attempt to reinvent robotics itself.
