API3 protocol
Overview
API3 is a decentralized oracle protocol facilitating direct data transmission from APIs to smart contracts through first-party oracles known as Airnodes. By enabling API providers to operate their own oracle nodes, it removes the requirement for third-party oracle intermediaries.
Within The Counterparty graph, API3 connects to 13 tracked entities, most strongly to Ethereum, API3, API3.
