Example: Real-Time Data Fetching Oracle for Financial Models
This example demonstrates a Solidity smart contract that interacts with an oracle to fetch real-time market data for use in financial models on the Evire blockchain. The contract is designed to request and receive foreign exchange rate data, which could be crucial for financial applications such as trading bots, risk assessment tools, and dynamic pricing models.
The purpose of this example is to illustrate how to implement an oracle within a smart contract to securely and efficiently integrate real-time data into blockchain-based applications. By fetching up-to-date foreign exchange rates, the contract can make informed decisions based on current market conditions, enhancing its functionality and reliability.
Example:
In this example, the ForexOracle
contract uses Chainlink's ChainlinkClient
to interact with the Chainlink network. Here’s a breakdown of the key components:
This contract inherits from
ChainlinkClient
to leverage Chainlink’s functionality.Initializes the Chainlink token and sets the oracle and job ID.
Builds a Chainlink request, specifies the currency pair, sends the request to the Chainlink oracle, and maps the request ID to the currency pair.
The
fulfill
function is a callback that the Chainlink oracle calls to deliver the requested data. It requires the request ID and the rate as parameters. The function ensures that the caller is the authorized oracle, retrieves the currency pair associated with the request ID, and processes the received rate, such as storing it or emitting an event to notify other components.This callback function is called by the Chainlink oracle to return the requested data. It processes the received rate and can store it or emit an event.
Below is a comprehensive example of a complex smart contract that integrates with the ForexOracle.sol
library. This smart contract facilitates decentralized trading of foreign exchange rates and includes functionalities for placing trades, managing user balances, and ensuring compliance with forex rate updates.
Example of Usage:
Key Features:
Users can deposit ETH into their account and withdraw their balance.
Users can place a trade by specifying the currency pair, amount, and whether it's a buy or sell trade.
This function gets called when the oracle returns the exchange rate. It calculates the new balance based on the trade details and the retrieved rate.
The contract manages trades using a mapping from request IDs to trade details, allowing users to query their trade details.
This contract is designed to work seamlessly with the ForexOracle.sol
library, utilizing the Chainlink Oracle to fetch real-time forex rates and managing user balances and trades efficiently.
