Tellor Tributes (TRB) is the native token of the Tellor Oracle Protocol, a decentralized system that provides reliable data feeds to blockchain-based applications. By acting as an oracle network on the Ethereum blockchain, it facilitates the retrieval of real-world information, including prices and weather data, for decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts.
One of the key functions of TRB tokens is to incentivize miners to supply accurate data, ensuring the integrity and security of the data oracle system. Miners compete on the Tellor network to submit precise information, and TRB tokens serve as a reward for honest data providers while penalizing those who submit incorrect data. This mechanism guarantees the reliability and accuracy of the data provided by the Tellor Oracle.
The Tellor Oracle Network operates through a network of staked reporters who fetch, verify, and supply off-chain data to smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This capability empowers dApps that rely on real-world information to function effectively.
