API3USDTSmart contracts often struggle to access dependable data, but application programming interfaces (APIs) have been touted as a solution to this problem.
API3’s stated goal is to allow decentralized versions of APIs to be built, managed and monetized at scales. As blockchain technology plays an ever bigger role in the economy — from decentralized finance to supply chain management — the team behind this project says it has never been more important for smart contracts to provide “timely, reliable real-world data.”
