Friends, you must have experienced this frustrating feeling: set an alarm, start a stopwatch, rush in to grab limited-time benefits, only to see four words floating on the screen—"Prize pool is empty." Turn around and want to complain: why are they releasing so little?

But have you ever thought about it, behind this lies a technical problem far more complex than just racing to click faster. Every interaction and "lottery draw" in the crypto world is essentially a call and verification of on-chain data. And behind this process, there needs to be an absolutely reliable, inherently fair, and real-time responsive "referee." This is the core challenge that oracle networks aim to solve.

Think about those popular community lottery events. Clearing the prize pool in 30 seconds is not surprising; seasoned players have just two strategies: start frantically clicking at 7:59:59, skip animations, and loop operations to profit from speed. Ultimately, this is a race against system latency and front-end display speed. But a truly fair mechanism should not depend on whose device is faster or whose script reacts more sensitively.

The key point here is: the result should be recorded on the chain the moment you click, making it irreversible and publicly verifiable. If this "final decision" is only stored in the project's centralized database, then fairness is just talk. What oracle networks do is exactly this—placing key steps like lottery parameters, random number generation, and result verification directly on the chain, making the entire process transparent and the results tamper-proof. It's like a "public notarization" on the chain that all players can watch in real-time, ensuring every click withstands scrutiny.
