How Do Decentralized Oracle Networks Achieve Consensus on Price Data?

Decentralized oracle networks achieve consensus by aggregating price data from multiple independent sources, or data providers. These providers stake collateral to ensure the accuracy of their reported data.

The network then uses a weighted average or median to determine a single, reliable price feed. This multi-source, staking-based approach makes it economically infeasible for a single entity to corrupt the price.
