Getting API Data for Azure Blockchain
Hello, I was wondering if Azure had a means to input off-chain API data into the blockchain. What solution is currently used ? Is "cryptlet" the solution that Azure is working on ?
Getting data from outside the blockchain will be tricky in terms of maintaining security. We are working cryptlets, which is in private preview), which will be able to accomplish this type of scenario.
Will cryptlet serve as a decentralized oracle network ? Also can we integrate with 3rd party oracle solutions such as SmartContract ( http://www.smartcontract.com) ?
Yes, the intention is to allow cryptlets to solve this issue in a decentralized manner. We are still implementing exactly how we want to design the system, but it currently is in private preview with some customers. We'll announce when it is ready more broadly.
