What is Off-Chain Reporting (OCR)?

The benefits of the upgrade was highlighted via an official blogpost, excerpts of which reads ;

“While the Chainlink Network has already been rapidly increasing the amount of data it provides on-chain through the continual rollout of Price Feeds, Proof of Reserve, verifiable randomness (VRF), and more, OCR’s scalability improvements will massively accelerate that trend.”

However, DeFi users have a more impressive reason to celebrate. With the launch of the upgrade comes a 10 times increase in the number of real-world data accessible to smart contract applications. As explained in the blog post, “the most immediate benefit to DeFi and its users will be a 10x increase in the amount of real-world data that can be made available to smart contracts l applications.”

It is safe to say that the first wave of DeFi applications reflects the unimaginable potential that Decentralized financial applications bring to the crypto-space. But with the arrival of the OCR, the DeFi craze is about to shake the industry some more. With the significant increase in on-chain data made available to smart contract developers, there will be a wider range of finance products that will storm the market. 

“With OCR, smart contract developers will have greater access to external data across a more diverse set of assets, real-world events, and blockchains, allowing them to service new industries and unique use cases.”
