Building with FLUXNET

Building with FLUXNET

FLUXNET streamlines the integration of real-time, on-demand data into your decentralized applications. By following a clear sequence of steps—from requesting custom data parameters to deploying a whitelisted consumer contract and leveraging automated workflows—you can ensure your dApp operates with up-to-the-moment information and minimal manual intervention.

Step 1: Submit a Data Request Form Begin by defining your data needs through a provided request form. In this submission, you’ll specify:

  • Data Parameters: Detail exactly what you need—e.g., current asset prices, volume data, order book depth, or timestamped market snapshots.

  • Frequency and Conditions: Indicate how often you’ll need updates or the conditions under which data should be refreshed.

  • Formatting Requirements: If you have unique formatting or filtering requirements, note them here.

This initial request ensures the FLUXNET team fully understands your application’s requirements and can tailor the solution accordingly.

Step 2: Oracle Provisioning Once your parameters are confirmed, FLUXNET prepares a dedicated oracle designed to supply the exact data you requested. During this provisioning phase:

  • Custom Oracle Setup: FLUXNET configures the oracle to fetch and relay data from verified, secure sources in real-time.

  • Quality Assurance & Testing: The oracle’s outputs are tested to ensure accuracy, integrity, and compatibility with your application’s expectations.

By the end of this step, you have a custom-built oracle ready to deliver precision data on-demand.

Step 3: Deploying a Consumer Contract With the oracle in place, you’ll need to deploy a consumer smart contract—a specialized on-chain entity that interacts with the FLUXNET oracle. This contract:

  • Whitelisted Access: You’ll register the consumer contract with FLUXNET so it’s authorized to access the oracle’s data feed.

  • Function Calls for Data Retrieval: Implement functions to request specific data points (e.g., getPriceAtTimestamp() or getLatestLiquidityMetrics()), ensuring seamless on-chain integration.

By hosting the logic for requesting and processing data within this contract, your dApp can reliably call upon FLUXNET’s oracle whenever it needs fresh information.

Step 4: Requesting and Receiving Data Once your consumer contract is ready, the data flow can begin:

  1. On-Chain Request: Your consumer contract calls the oracle with specific parameters—for instance, “Fetch the BTC/ETH price at timestamp X.”

  2. Off-Chain Detection: FLUXNET’s distributed network of off-chain nodes instantly recognizes the request.

  3. Data Retrieval & Verification: The nodes query trusted external sources, retrieving the requested data point.

  4. On-Chain Delivery: Within seconds, the verified data is published back to your consumer contract on-chain, ensuring your application has the most current and reliable information.

This near-instant, event-driven process eliminates latency and stale data issues, allowing your dApp to make informed decisions in real time.

Step 5: Leveraging FLUXNET Automate for Fully Autonomous Workflows For applications that benefit from automated execution—such as decentralized trading strategies, AI-driven asset rebalancing, or conditional settlement events—FLUXNET offers FLUXNET Automate. This service lets you integrate a function like checkAutomate() into your consumer contract:

  • Periodic or Event-Based Checks: FLUXNET Automate can call checkAutomate() at regular intervals or trigger it upon certain network events.

  • Conditional Logic: Within checkAutomate(), define logical conditions. For example:

    • priceRequested = true ensures that a previously requested price update was made.

    • dataAvailable = true confirms that the oracle has successfully delivered the requested price at the specified timestamp.

  • Automated Actions: Once these conditions are met, your contract can initiate subsequent steps—e.g., executing a trade, settling a prediction market, or adjusting collateral—without manual input.

By incorporating FLUXNET Automate, you transform your system into a self-regulating entity, capable of responding to data changes instantaneously.

Putting It All Together

  1. Define Your Needs: Submit a form to detail exact data requirements.

  2. Oracle Setup: FLUXNET configures a custom oracle to deliver verified, on-demand data.

  3. Consumer Contract Deployment: Deploy and whitelist a contract designed to request and utilize data feeds.

  4. Instantaneous Data Delivery: Make data requests on-chain; FLUXNET’s off-chain infrastructure fetches and returns the data within seconds.

  5. Autonomous Execution: Implement FLUXNET Automate to trigger smart contract actions as soon as data conditions are met.

Conclusion Building with FLUXNET gives developers the freedom to define, request, and utilize data precisely as needed—while benefiting from real-time availability, validated accuracy, and seamless automation. Whether powering AI-driven decision-making, refining DeFi strategies, or orchestrating complex on-chain workflows, FLUXNET’s flexible framework ensures your decentralized applications operate at their highest potential.
