UMA’s Optimistic Oracle delivers real-world data to smart contracts by assuming honesty unless challenged. This minimizes gas and governance overhead while securing prediction markets, insurance, and more. The system’s flexibility makes it ideal for creative onchain applications that need subjective truth.
$UMA isn't just governance—it's dispute resolution. Token holders play a critical role in the oracle by voting on challenges and securing data integrity. Honest participation is rewarded through incentives, making the system both decentralized and economically aligned.
UMA enables developers to launch synthetic assets and custom contracts with minimal constraints. Whether it’s onchain games, KPI options, or outcome-based rewards, UMA’s infrastructure reduces reliance on trusted intermediaries.
