[FINAL] Scry Protocol - Fully Decentralized and Independent Oracle and Data Infrastructure

Can you say why? Those docs are a contingency tbh if we dont get alternative funding routes and also will be updated to use OP should we get funding from Optimism, currently the token and staking are not deployed. To be clear even if we do implement our token for collateral or OP nodes are NOT required to stake at all to run the node. The token can be staked to provide collateral on the data you submit which CAN be slashed for providing bad data by a chosen subcommittee.

You can run an oracle, provide data, sell data, on any EVM, using your own signers with 0 token or staking, purely optional for projects to feel safer knowng the data has an economic reason to be accurate. The infrastructure at all parts are able to be fully jndependant with 0 token requirement or any other dependency on anyone, even me for any part. The nodes, the contract and even a front end can be fully deployed and are open source.

To be clear the token would only be for us to have some way to sustain the free and open source and permissionless tools and infrastructure we create. We currently have had no funding, other than a 5k in OP from retro and are fully self funded up to now from our own funds personally. So the only path forward would either be a token or a grant to keep being able to build. Should we receive a grant from OP we will build the infrastructure for OP to be used on the Optimism network as the collateral toekn creating a new use case in exchange for supporting what we do. Should that not happen yes, we would use a token for the project for all networks, although again would be fully optional and only for data collateralization.

This can be found directly under in the docs

Hope this makes it clear.
