Data Flow Overview

Request: Band Oracle aggregates data from CoinGecko, Binance, etc.
Verify: BandChain’s consensus ensures accuracy.
Relay: Securely transmits data to Celo L2 reference contracts.
Read/Execute: dApps fetch real-time price data (e.g., BTC/USD) via Solidity contracts.

Example Contract:

import interfaces/IStdReference.sol;
contract DemoBulk {
  IStdReference public ref;
  constructor(IStdReference _ref) public { ref = _ref; }
  function demo_bulk() external view returns (IStdReference.ReferenceData[] memory) {
    return ref.getReferenceDataBulk(["BTC", "ETH"], ["USD", "BTC"]);
  }
}
