Deciding on an oracle to provide data to your smart contract is more than choosing the first one that hit the market.
Developers should be asking these three questions:
- What are the most trustworthy sources that can provide all required data?
- Do you need your smart contract

Let's talk about why Witnet is a layer 1.
Layer 1 blockchains are incentivized to be built in the most efficient way possible. Bitcoin is a perfect example: it transfers value incredibly well with no middlemen and without permission.
Layer 1s should be built efficiently.
If it wasnt clear before - Chainlink is on an entirely different level than the rest of the orackle space.
There is no such thing as a "Chainlink killer".

Last week, we publicly announced within our community that we have developed a new standard for data requests: Cross Chain Data Requests.
This new service allows developers to retrieve information from one chain, and utilize it to execute smart contracts on another chain.

"They were built deliberately detached from the outer world for a good reason: they need to be deterministic, while events in the real world are highly undeterministic if not completely random."
"Its claims can be considered to be true not because of the authority of the network as a whole or that of any of its members in particular; but because the claims themselves are built by comparing and combining a number of likely conflicting claims"

The good news: We were able to copy what the server was like,

In other words, if you use bad sources for your data feeds, you're likely to get bad information fed into your smart contract.
