πŸ“ Detailed Description

What does this PR do?

Implements a secure, multi-source oracle integration that automatically fetches, validates, and finalizes event outcomes when events end. Adds a new verify_result(event_id) entrypoint, oracle client module, validation and storage hooks, events for result verification, and admin functions for oracle management.

Why is this change needed?

Automated, reliable event outcome resolution reduces manual intervention and the window for dispute. Integrating multiple oracle sources with validation and quorum/fallback logic improves resilience against single-source failures or manipulation.

How was this tested?

  • Unit tests for parsing, signature validation, and validation logic.
  • Integration tests exercising multi-source consensus, timeout/fallback behavior, invalid signature rejection, and conflicting response handling.
  • Local cargo test run for the new test suite (example output below).

Alternative Solutions Considered

  • Relying on a single oracle provider (rejected for centralization risk).
  • Off-chain resolvers with on-chain attestations (considered, but opted for on-chain aggregation + minimal payload storage for transparency and simplicity).

πŸ§ͺ Testing

Test Coverage

  • Unit tests added/updated
  • Integration tests added/updated
  • All tests passing locally
  • Manual testing completed
  • Oracle integration tested
  • Edge cases covered
  • Error conditions tested
  • Gas usage optimized
  • Cross-contract interactions tested

Manual Testing Steps

  1. Register test oracle authorities via admin functions.
  2. Create a test event and mark it ended.
  3. Call verify_result(event_id) (or run scheduler) and observe ResultVerified or ResultVerificationFailed events.

πŸ“š Documentation

Documentation Updates

  • README updated
  • Code comments added/updated (NatSpec on public APIs)
  • API documentation updated
  • Examples updated
  • Deployment instructions updated
  • Contributing guidelines updated
  • Architecture documentation updated

Breaking Changes

Breaking Changes:

  • Storage layout extended to record oracle metadata (backwards compatible for existing events, but migrations should be considered if off-chain tooling expects exact layout).

Migration Guide:

  • No immediate migration required for existing events. If tooling expects older storage shapes, update tooling to ignore new oracle metadata fields.

πŸ” Code Quality

Code Review Checklist

  • Code follows Rust/Soroban best practices
  • Self-review completed
  • No unnecessary code duplication
  • Error handling is appropriate
  • Logging/monitoring added where needed (events emitted for monitoring)
  • Security considerations addressed
  • Performance implications considered
  • Code is readable and well-commented
  • Variable names are descriptive
  • Functions are focused and small

Performance Impact

  • Gas Usage: Moderate increase for oracle aggregation; minimized by storing only hashes + metadata by default.
  • Storage Impact: Additional storage for oracle result records and oracle registry entries.
  • Computational Complexity: Aggregation and signature verification are linear with the number of oracle sources queried.

Security Review

  • No obvious security vulnerabilities
  • Access controls properly implemented (admin-only oracle management)
  • Input validation in place
  • Oracle data properly validated (signature, timestamp TTL, schema checks)
  • No sensitive data exposed

πŸš€ Deployment & Integration

Integration Points

  • Frontend integration considered (events updated)
  • API changes documented
  • Backward compatibility maintained
  • Third-party integrations updated

βœ… Final Checklist

πŸ’¬ Notes for Reviewers

Please pay special attention to:

  • src/oracles.rs parsing and signature handling
  • src/validation.rs TTL, nonce, and schema validation
  • src/lib.rs::verify_result aggregation/quorum logic and edge handling

Questions for reviewers:

  • Are the quorum/weight defaults reasonable for your deployments?
  • Any additional oracle failure signals you'd want surfaced as events?
