> DIRT is an oracle protocol that is designed for regularly updating data streams (i.e. pricefeeds). Our protocol design uses public key encryption to submit provably correct data on-chain. A decentralized network of reporters transmit data from offchain sources (ex: Coinbase API) to the onchain Oracle smart contract. With public key encryption, the smart contract verifies that only approved sources can submit data onchain to prevent reporters from manipulating data in-transit.

> How is this different from Chainlink?

>Chainlink is an on-demand oracle service. dApps call the Chainlink contract to request data from an off-chain API, and the data is fetched at the time of request. DIRT Oracle is optimized for price feeds and runs off-chain reporters to continuously push data on-chain. The choice between Chainlink and DIRT is a choice between update frequency and flexibility. If you need flexibility in the URLs hit, Chainlink is a good option. If you need a regularly repeating price feed that can be fetched instantly, DIRT is a good fit.
