UMA's Optimistic Oracle on Secret Network

Overview

This project bridges UMA's Optimistic Oracle solution to Secret Network, enabling the secure and verifiable resolution of arbitrary questions and requests. UMAImageDiagram.png SP-OO-Axelar.png

Value Proposition

Integrating UMA's Oracle with Secret Network allows for the inclusion of complex data into the blockchain, which supports advanced applications like:

  • Privacy-preserving prediction markets
  • Regulated financial and medical protocols requiring real-time data and user confidentiality
  • Private lending and insurance protocols

How It Works

  1. Posting a Contest:

    • A contest consisting of an ID and event details (including the UMA request query) is posted to the Prediction Market smart contract on Secret Network.
  2. Querying Contests:

    • The SP-Relayer node continuously queries the PM contract for new contests that need resolution.
    • The query returns contest information and a signature verifying the data originated from the contract.
  3. Initializing the Market:

    • The SP-Relayer parses the query content to initialize a new Market (question/request) on the Sepolia SP-UMA-Request contract through a Sepolia network transaction.
  4. Asserting an Answer:

    • An answer is asserted as truthful and enters a dispute window, during which it can be challenged.
  5. Settling the Outcome:

    • If the answer is not challenged during the dispute window, the SP-Relayer node settles the outcome.
    • This action triggers the Axelar GMP route back to the SP-Answer Secret contract on Secret Network.
  6. Bet Resolution:

    • When a user claims their bet, the Prediction Market/Contest contract queries the Answer contract for the bet's resolution.

Decentralization and Automation

  • SP-Relayer Node: Exists solely for automation, ensuring smooth operations without requiring constant manual intervention.
  • Decentralized Fulfillment: Thanks to the public/private keys stored on Secret Network, any motivated entity can fulfill the steps usually handled by the SP-Relayer, ensuring the process remains decentralized and trustless.

Technical Implementation

  • Secret Network's Private Contract State: Utilizes public/private keys on-chain for verifiable sources of truth.
  • Axelar's General Message Passing Protocol: Ensures data integrity throughout the process.
