An informational advantage is highly critical whenever your protocol relies on specific figures to process liquidations, manage settlements, or mint assets. Traditional off-chain oracle consensus inadvertently introduces a time gap, allowing certain parties to discover these numbers before your smart contract actually receives them.
On-chain reporting provides a secure alternative that avoids this vulnerability entirely. By requiring reporters to submit their data publicly, the system ensures that absolutely anyone can raise a dispute. Ultimately, the finalized data point is the one that successfully withstands this open validation process, rather than a figure a middleware operator simply decides to publish.
