Switchboard’s Architecture, Tech Stack and Security

This section delves into the architecture and technologies used within Switchboard, detailing the interactions between components and the security measures safeguarding the network's integrity.

Switchboard operates as a decentralised oracle network, delivering reliable and transparent data feeds to blockchain applications. Several core components underpin Switchboard's functionality and security, these include:

  • Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs): Providing secure enclaves for code execution and data integrity.

  • Oracle Queues: Managing and securing data feeds through structured environments.

  • Node Architecture: Distributing tasks across a network of specialised nodes, with Guardians ensuring security through ongoing review and validation of new Oracles and Guardians
