Demystifying Pythia: A Survey of ChainLink Oracles Usage on Ethereum
Smart contracts are dependent on oracle systems for their adoption and usability. We perform an empirical study of oracle systems' usage trends and adoption metrics to provide better insight into the health of the smart contract ecosystem. We collect ChainLink usage data on the Ethereum network using a modified Ethereum client and running a full node. We analyze the collected data and present our findings and insights surrounding the usage trends, adoption metrics, oracle pricing and service quality associated with ChainLink on the Ethereum network.
