Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | UMA Data Verification Mechanism: Adding Economic Guarantees to Blockchain Oracles |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | An oracle that does not answer every question in real time. It prices the cost of bribing the token holders who would resolve a dispute, and it asks contract designers to keep the profit of a lie below that cost. The draft is an economic argument, not a feed you can read as truth. |
| Who may write | UMA |
| What is settled | A price request is proposed and, if undisputed, accepted. Dispute is the expensive path. |
| Load-bearing assumption | This is an April 2020 draft, version 0.2. Later contracts are not automatically inside its argument. |
| What this library says afterwards | An optimistic oracle can be wrong for as long as nobody disputes it. Silence is not evidence. |
