Orally Network Product & Architecture Description

Product Overview: Orally Network is an on-chain oracle system with advanced cross-chain capabilities designed to serve as a reliable data conduit between blockchains and the external world. The system features a modular architecture that allows developers to customize it according to their specific needs, enhancing flexibility and functionality.

Problem-Solving and Target Audience: Orally Network addresses key challenges in blockchain data accessibility, particularly the difficulty in securely and efficiently fetching external data for smart contracts. Our solution specifically targets blockchain developers and projects that require real-time data integration from various sources. By providing verified and secure data feeds, Orally Network facilitates enhanced decision-making processes, supports complex financial applications, and enables dynamic cross-chain interactions.

Product Modules and Their Functions:

1. Sybil - Data Fetching Module:

   • Functionality: Sybil operates dynamically, fetching data as requested. It supports a range of data sources for price feeds, implementing filters and an aggregation mechanism to ensure data integrity and accuracy.
   • Customization: Developers can create and list custom data feeds, choosing sources and defining the parameters for data retrieval.
   • Security and Verification: Utilizes DKG threshold cryptography for generating verifiable proofs, ensuring that data fetched and signed by our smart contract is authenticated across networks.
   • Example Use Case: Fetching complex price feed pairs like BTC/DOT or DOGE/SHIB, and providing side chain data for cross-chain governance, swaps, and bridges.

2. Pythia - Automation Module:

   • Functionality: It enables developers to set up subscriptions that trigger transactions based on defined conditions, such as time intervals or price volatility, detected through Sybil. It could be utilised as a push oracle model. 
   • Flexibility: Allows for the specification of the destination chain, contract address, and method for the transaction, facilitating tailored automation workflows.

3. Apollo - Request-Based Data Delivery Module:

   • Functionality: Allows data requests directly from smart contracts on the destination chain, monitoring specific chain events and executing transactions with the requested data.
   • Integration: Tracks and responds to data requests, ensuring timely and accurate data delivery to requesting contracts.

Utilization of Stellar and Soroban:

• Integration Plans: As part of our commitment to expanding our network's compatibility and reach, we are planning to integrate Orally Network with Soroban. This will allow us to bring our established oracle mechanics to the Stellar ecosystem, providing Stellar users with access to external and cross-chain data feeds.
• Benefits for Stellar: This integration not only enhances the functionality available on the Stellar network but also opens up new possibilities for smart contract development and inter-chain communication within the Stellar ecosystem.

Deliverable 1: Integration of Sybil Balance Top-Up and API Key Generation

• Brief Description: Enhance the Sybil module to allow users to authenticate with Sign-in-with-Soroban and to top up balances using Stellar tokens or native currency. This balance can then be used to generate API keys for pulling data using the Oracle model. The process involves making and verifying signatures for authentication, communication with the Stellar network to verify transaction details and the creation of an MPC permissionless wallet for accumulating balances.
• How to Measure Completion: Successful implementation is verified through comprehensive testing of the balance top-up and API key generation functionalities in a controlled environment, followed by a live test on the Soroban test network.
• Estimated Date of Completion: 4 June.
• Budget: $12,000 - Covers development hours, frontend integration, smart contract updates, and testing.

Deliverable 2: Development of the SybilVerifier Contract on Soroban

• Brief Description: Develop and deploy the SybilVerifier contract on Soroban, which will verify Oracle data, decode it, and provide developers access to various types of data including price feeds, custom data, chain data, and logs. Thus, they will be able to integrate the functionality to retrieve data in bytes from the HTTP Gateway on the frontend side of the application (or off-chain market taker mechanics) and transfer it to their contract on Soroban. Once there, the contract can verify and utilize the data, similar to how the pull oracle model operates. 
• How to Measure Completion: Completion will be confirmed by the contract's ability to accurately verify and decode data across multiple test scenarios.
• Estimated Date of Completion: 17 June.
• Budget: $15,000 - Allocated for smart contract development, deployment, and comprehensive testing.

Deliverable 3: SDK Library Development and Publication

• Brief Description: Create and organize a comprehensive library that interfaces with the Sybil module, facilitating easy use by other dApps within the Stellar ecosystem with comprehensive use case examples. 
• How to Measure Completion: Completion is achieved when the library is publicly available to be successfully integrated into external dApps in the Stellar ecosystem. 
• Estimated Date of Completion: 20 June.
• Budget: $8,000 - Includes documentation, development of library functions, and provision of integration examples and use cases with updated documentation for Stellar compatibility.

Deliverable 4: Proof of Concept (POC) for Pythia Integration

• Brief Description: Develop a POC for the Pythia module that can generate, sign, and send transactions to the Stellar Network. This includes also creating an individual MPC execution wallet with a topping system. 
• How to Measure Completion: The POC is deemed successful if it can perform the aforementioned tasks without errors and demonstrates at least few actual transactions on the Stellar test network generated and executed from the Pythia on-chain module with payloaded external data. 
• Estimated Date of Completion: 28 June.
• Budget: $13,000 - This budget covers the development and testing of the POC, including necessary security measures.

Future Vision:

• Post-POC Integration: Following the successful implementation of the pull oracle model, we plan to leverage our foundational work as a basis for full integration of the Pythia module. This will enable automation and push oracle capabilities, enhancing the functionality of Orally Network within the Stellar ecosystem.
• Extended Capabilities: The integration of the Apollo module will follow, supporting a request-based model for directly interacting with smart contracts or sending messages to side chains. This expansion will enable a more versatile and responsive oracle service, catering to a wider range of needs within the Stellar network. 

These deliverables align with our objectives to enhance the Stellar ecosystem by providing robust, secure, and efficient oracle services. The outlined budget and timeline are carefully structured to ensure each project component is adequately supported for successful completion and future scalability.
