If a tree falls in the forest and an oracle isn’t there to report it, did it really fall? At the inaugural Blockchain Oracle Summit, you’’ll find out. BOS22 is taking place in Berlin from June 7–9 this year, at Hotel Berlin, Berlin.

It’s the first summit to focus only on oracles – the piece of blockchain infrastructure that provides external data to smart contracts. Many of blockchain’s most advanced use-cases rely on oracles, including DEXs, DAOs, Dynamic NFTs, Parametric Insurance and anything that uses external data on-chain. In short, oracles have implications on most of blockchain’s most advanced use cases.

Every day, a global brand announces the launch of its NFT or metaverse project, but without oracles, the real world would not be able to interact with the blockchain. With oracles’ importance set to grow exponentially alongside blockchain’s use-cases, the time has come for leaders in the blockchain world to acknowledge and discuss the challenges, demands and areas of interest in the oracle space today. BOS22 aims to do just that.

Summit speakers represent all corners of the blockchain ecosystem, including founders from oracle networks Tellor, UMA, DIA, Kylin and Witnet. Also attending are core-team members from DeFi giants Uniswap and MakerDAO, and leaders from global enterprises, such as T-Systems MMS and the Associated Press.

Decentralized borrowing protocol Liquity, permissionless lending protocol Euler XYZ, perpetual DEX Futureswap and parametric insurance provider Etherisc are just some of the advanced oracle use-cases being showcased as well.
