ETH-USDT Oracle

The Oracle works on the basis of publisher-subscriber technique. Any dApp can generate request to get latest ETH price in USDT. Node (client) listens for generated request and reports price.

Contracts

1. EthPriceOracle.sol - Used by nodes(client).
2. Caller.sol - Used by dApp.

Working

1. dApp calls updateLatestPrice() of Caller.sol contract which returns a randomly generated id.
2. Node listens for GetLatestEthPrice event of EthPriceOracle.sol contract and starts reporting latest ETH price in USDT for request from Binance ticker.
3. As soon as responses for request id reaches to threshold value, mean of all the reported responses is considered as final price.
4. dApp listens for PriceUpdated event of Caller.sol to get the updated price.
5. dApp can also access the latest price reported by oracle by calling getEthPrice().

Environment Variables

  npm start

Running Tests
