Адаптеры и ресурсы DON
Context
This figure appears in Section 3 (Decentralized Oracle Network Interface and Capabilities) during the discussion of networking capabilities and adapters. It provides a concrete illustration of the range of external resources that DON adapters can connect to, showing the DON as a hub connecting to heterogeneous external systems. The accompanying text explains that adapters are bidirectional interfaces that can both pull and push data.
What This Figure Shows
The figure shows a primary DON (DON1) connected via adapters to a variety of different external resources: another DON (DON2), a blockchain (main chain) including its mempool, external storage systems, a web server, and IoT devices (accessed via a web server). Each connection represents a distinct adapter type defining how the DON communicates with that resource—including how to send transactions to a blockchain, read block data, retrieve API data from web servers, interact with decentralized file systems, or relay data between DONs. Adapters may leverage cryptographic functionality such as secure multi-party computation.
Significance
This figure demonstrates the generality and extensibility of the DON adapter model, showing that DONs can interface with virtually any digital resource in a modular fashion. It establishes the technical foundation for the diverse application examples discussed in Section 4 and underscores why DONs can serve as a universal connectivity layer for smart contracts.
