Evolving from the Oracle Core Unit at MakerDAO, Chronicle Protocol was created by the unit’s development team. Although the Oracles that underpinned Chronicle Protocol had been securing MakerDAO’s $10B+ collateral since 2016, the technology and its unique innovations weren’t available outside of Maker’s portfolio. In 2021, the team received support from MakerDAO to spin out the proprietary technology and form a new entity and brand. Chronicle Protocol was born. Chronicle continues to service MakerDAO and now, for the first time, is rolling out its on-chain Oracle services to support the wider Web3 world. Chronicle Protocol has been developed to solve many of the current pain points of on-chain Oracles and DeFi. On-chain Oracles, particularly on computationally expensive blockchains such as Ethereum, are bottlenecking the development of DeFi with an exorbitant cost of service and a lack of feasible scalability. Through developing a proprietary solution called Scribe, the team at Chronicle has built a blockchain-agnostic, ubiquitously accessible, scalable, end-to-end verifiable, and decentralized Oracle. The protocol’s unique architecture enables an ecosystem that delivers 100% decentralization and transparency. Every byte of data can be traced back to each Feed’s original data source queries, and new Oracles can be deployed (and updated) with the click of a button on the Chronicle Dashboard. Inspired by Ancient Greece’s Herodotus (the Father of History), Chronicle Protocol aims to be the world’s first open and verifiable data chronicler. Transparency, democracy, and accessibility are the columns on which Chronicle has built its temple, and industry-leading scalability, integration, and security are the features that power the protocol. Verifiable data, accessible to all - delivered securely and affordably.
