In FORE Protocol’s proprietary NFT validation model, a decentralized network of validators (or "analysts") perform the role of oracle by uploading the results from real-world events to the protocol. They act as the market's 'architects' and are responsible for verifying that a given outcome is accurate and ensuring that all payouts are correctly executed. In doing so, the protocol can “index” real-world outcomes on any real-world event (in much the same way Google indexes real-world information) to create an infinitely scalable predictions protocol. > *"We initially set out to offer preferable odds to users by using machine learning and analytics to come up with better pricing. But what we quickly realized was that the core problem was actually centralization, not just pricing. So, we pivoted to create the best peer-to-peer, decentralized prediction ecosystem - one that would not only provide better arbitrage opportunities, but one that would distribute rewards to users that traditionally would have gone to centralized entities."* > > Merv Merzoug, CEO + CO-Founder --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.foreprotocol.io/fore-protocol/whitepaper/predictions-markets/decentralization-the-solution/infinitely-scalable-oracle.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
