Introduction

The digital landscape is rapidly evolving, and within this dynamic environment, the accurate and timely delivery of economic data to blockchain networks has emerged as a critical component of decentralized systems. Truflation Stream Network (TSN) addresses this imperative with a sophisticated framework designed to aggregate disparate off-chain economic indicators for a bridge to on-chain smart contract functionality.

Navigating the challenges posed by node reliability, TSN encapsulates a system that is both sensitive to the need for real-time responsiveness and uncompromising on security. Every TSN node contributes to this objective, operating semi-autonomously while embodying the collective integrity of the network. The orchestration of these elements ensures users and applications have access to high-quality economic data streams, pivotal for financial analytics, indexes, benchmarking, and structuring of products and transactions.

Common Directory

1. Developers (or builders) - create DApps and financial products integrating the tools, data and indexes

2. Node Operators - provide computational and storage resources to confirm, maintain, and validate data and algorithms.

3. Data Providers - provide pricing information and/or index algorithms for network

4. Users - are market participants ranging from researchers, consultants, financial institutions, analysts, investors and traders

5. Network Participants - can contribute to all categories in a variety of ways to grow the community as a decentralized trusted network.

6. Index - a computation that produces a numeric score based on inputs and a weighting algorithm accessing a variety of verified prices. Indexes typically measure the performance of a basket of commodities, assets or other relevant goods or metrics intended to replicate a certain area of the market.

7. Stream - the continuous flow of data generated by TSN. Data Streams are processed, verified, stored, and acted upon in real-time.
