Switchboard Oracle Network: Data Feeds, Aggregator, Randomness & Secrets

Switchboard Oracle Services

Switchboard is a permissionless oracle network that bridges external data to on-chain smart contracts using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), delivering tamper-proof, verifiable data across Solana, EVM chains, Sui, Aptos, Starknet, and more.

Data Feeds

Switchboard Data Feeds deliver secure, verifiable, real-time on-chain data via a pull-oracle model. Feeds run inside TEEs, ensuring no node operator can alter, expose, or frontrun data. The On-Demand model fetches data only when a smart contract requests it, with standard latency of 400ms and ultra-low 2-5ms available via the Surge tier. Developers can access community-driven feeds or build fully custom feeds from any on-chain or off-chain data source using Rust and TypeScript SDKs.

Oracle Aggregator

The Switchboard Oracle Aggregator allows developers to harness multiple oracle providers — including Pyth, Chainlink, and others — simultaneously within a single transaction. Aggregated data improves price accuracy, reduces reliance on any single oracle, and lowers manipulation risk. Ideal for money markets, perp exchanges, and options protocols requiring maximum price resilience.

Verifiable Randomness

Switchboard Randomness provides TEE-secured, cryptographically verifiable on-chain randomness. Faster than traditional VRF solutions and free of commit-reveal complexity, it is purpose-built for on-chain gaming, NFT trait assignment, lottery protocols, DAO governance, and any application requiring provably fair outcomes.

Secrets Management

Switchboard Secrets enables developers to embed sensitive credentials — API keys, authentication tokens, private configuration — directly into oracle feeds, processed exclusively inside TEEs. Node operators cannot view stored secrets, enabling oracle jobs to call authenticated third-party APIs and permissioned data sources without exposing credentials on-chain.
