How Does a Decentralized Oracle Network Achieve Consensus on a Price?

A decentralized oracle network achieves consensus by having multiple independent nodes (data providers) source price data from various external exchanges. These nodes submit their data to a smart contract, which aggregates the values and uses a median or weighted average to determine the final, accepted price.

This distributed approach makes it extremely difficult for any single party to manipulate the price.
