* They provide the some key functions such as collect data from an off-chain source, transfer the data on-chain with a signed message, and make the data available by putting it in a smart contracts storage.
* price oracles are any tool showing an asset's price but in context of defi

One of the main challenges with such a decentralized approach is the formulation of the aggregation function.
ChainLink proposes calculating a weighted response, allowing a validity score to be reported for each oracle response.
