API3

API3 is a decentralized oracle project enabling direct data feeds for smart contracts.

API3 is a decentralized oracle project that enables smart contracts to access real-world data directly from providers.

A protocol that allows decentralized applications to connect to traditional Web APIs without using "third-party" oracles. It allows API providers to run their own nodes, making the data feed more direct and secure.

Direct API Connectivity: Used for governance of a protocol that connects smart contracts directly to official data sources (APIs) without needing third-party oracles.

First-Party Oracles: Used for governance of the API3 DAO. It allows API providers to run their own "Airnodes," sending data directly to smart contracts without needing a third-party middleman like Chainlink.
