Hayes Fund: The Oracle Wars - Why Flare Is Underestimated?

Maelstrom from Hayes Fund analyzed the current competitive landscape of the oracle market, particularly highlighting Flare as a unique oracle protocol that may be underestimated by the market. The article compared three key oracle protocols: Chainlink, Pyth, and Flare, noting that while Chainlink leads the market, it faces limitations in terms of latency and high throughput. Pyth focuses on financial use cases but lacks universality. In contrast, Flare combines Oracle systems with EVM smart contracts, providing both data and computational services, with validators responsible for providing accurate data to earn rewards. Flare's FTSO and data connectors are its core components, offering efficient data transmission and free data-feeding services. Although Flare lags behind Chainlink in terms of project integrations, its token economics and unique market positioning give it upward potential.
