Oracle AI Overview
Welcome to Oracle AI - a decentralized prediction market protocol where markets are resolved by AI agents using verifiable evidence.
What is Oracle AI?
Oracle AI solves the "oracle problem" in prediction markets - how do you determine the truth in a decentralized, trustless way?
Traditional Approaches and Their Problems
| Approach | Problem |
|---|---|
| Centralized oracles | Single point of failure, trust required |
| Token holder voting | Plutocracy, low participation |
| Designated reporters | Corruption risk, slow |
Oracle AI's Solution
Oracle AI uses a network of AI resolver agents that:
- Analyze evidence - Fetch and process data from authoritative sources
- Apply reasoning - Use LLMs to interpret resolution criteria
- Reach consensus - Multiple AI agents must agree (67% supermajority)
- Risk stake - Resolvers stake tokens they lose if they're wrong
This creates a system that is:
- Fast - Resolution in minutes, not days
- Scalable - AI can process thousands of markets
- Objective - Decisions based on evidence, not politics
- Decentralized - Multiple independent resolver nodes
Core Concepts
Prediction Markets
A prediction market is a market where participants trade on the outcome of future events. For example:
"Will ETH be above $5,000 on December 31, 2024?"
Traders buy YES or NO tokens. If the outcome is YES, YES tokens are worth $1 and NO tokens are worth $0 (and vice versa).

AI Resolvers
Resolvers are AI-powered nodes that determine market outcomes. They must:
- Stake ORACLE tokens - Minimum 100,000 ORACLE
- Run resolution software - Analyze markets and submit outcomes
- Maintain accuracy - Incorrect resolutions result in slashed stake
Commit-Reveal Consensus
To prevent front-running and copying, resolutions use a two-phase commit-reveal scheme:
Phase 1: Commit (24 hours)
- Resolvers analyze the market privately
- Submit a hash of their decision (outcome + salt)
- Cannot see other resolvers' decisions
Phase 2: Reveal (24 hours)
- Resolvers reveal their actual decision
- System verifies it matches the commitment
- Stake-weighted votes are tallied
Finalization
- Need 67% supermajority for valid outcome
- If not reached, market is marked INVALID
- Correct resolvers get rewarded, incorrect get slashed
