How Does a Decentralized Oracle Network (DON) Achieve Data Consensus?

A DON achieves consensus by aggregating data from multiple independent oracle nodes and data providers. Each node fetches the same data from various sources.

The DON then uses a pre-defined aggregation method, such as taking the median or a weighted average of the reported values. This collective validation and aggregation process ensures a high degree of data accuracy and resistance to single-node manipulation.
