# Introducing Ternoa TEE Oracle # A New Standard in Decentralized Price Feeds We are excited to introduce our latest innovation: **Ternoa TEE Oracle**. Built on the powerful **Ternoa TEE network** and integrating **Redstone** and **PYTH** oracles, this solution provides **secure, real-time, and decentralized price feeds** for major tokens. Developers building on **Ternoa** and **AggLayer** can now seamlessly access accurate, up-to-date token prices with **unparalleled efficiency and security**. # How It Works The Ternoa TEE Oracle operates through a network of **five independent agents**, each running within **Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)**. These agents interact directly with **PYTH** and **Redstone** to fetch and update token prices on Ternoa. To ensure reliability and consensus, the system follows these principles: * **Five agents per token**: Each token tracked by the oracle has five separate agents validating its price. * **Consensus-based updates**: Agents must reach a **3/5 consensus** to validate and publish a price update. * **High-frequency updates**: The oracle updates token prices **three times per minute**, ensuring **fast and accurate** data. ⠀ # Security and Resilience ### Where Are the Agent Private Keys? Each agent runs inside a **TEE**, meaning that only its **public key** is visible. The **private key remains completely inaccessible**, ensuring that no external entity—including the Ternoa team—can compromise the integrity of the oracle network. ### What Happens if an Agent Goes Down? The Ternoa TEE Oracle is designed with fault tolerance in mind. Since consensus requires only **3 out of 5 agents** to validate an update, the system can continue functioning **even if 25% of the agents are offline**. This ensures **high availability and robustness**. # Why Not Use Chainlink? While Chainlink is a well-known oracle solution, it has limitations: * **Not permissionless**: Chainlink is not fully open for all tokens and networks. * **Limited token coverage**: Not every token is listed. * **Speed and efficiency**: The Ternoa TEE Oracle is designed to be **faster, lighter, and more adaptable** to developers' needs. ⠀By leveraging **TEE-based security, real-time consensus, and decentralized computation**, our solution provides a more efficient alternative to existing oracle networks. # Early Alpha Version Access The early **alpha version** of Ternoa TEE Oracle is now accessible!
