What Is a “Data Provider” in the Oracle Ecosystem, and How Does It Interact with the Oracle Network?

A data provider is an external source, such as a major cryptocurrency exchange, a financial data API, or a weather service, that generates the raw, real-world information. The oracle network, composed of node operators, acts as an intermediary.

The nodes fetch data from multiple data providers, aggregate and validate it, and then transmit the final, cryptographically signed data to the smart contract. The data provider is the source, and the oracle network is the secure delivery mechanism.
