How Do Decentralized Oracle Networks Achieve Data Security and Reliability?

Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs) achieve security by aggregating data from multiple independent data sources and node operators, eliminating a single point of failure. They use cryptographic proofs to verify the data's origin and often employ a staking mechanism where node operators are penalized (slashed) for submitting incorrect or malicious data and rewarded for accuracy, ensuring economic security.
