Chronicle

Chronicle Protocol is a novel Oracle solution that has exclusively secured over $10B in assets for MakerDAO and its ecosystem since 2017. Chronicle overcomes the current limitations of transferring data on-chain by developing scalable, cost-efficient, decentralized, and verifiable Oracles, rewriting the rulebook on data transparency and accessibility.

Querying the price of GNO using Chronicle​

Chronicle contracts are read-protected by a whitelist, meaning you won't be able to read them on-chain without your address being added to the whitelist. On the Testnet, users can add themselves to the whitelist through the SelfKisser contract, a process playfully referred to as "kissing" themselves. For access to production Oracles on the Mainnet, please open a support ticket on Discord in the 🆘｜support channel.

For the deployment addresses, please check out the Dashboard.
