Overview

Switchboard On-Demand is a decentralized oracle service that allows users to create custom data feeds on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks. Users can create a feed that specifies the data sources, aggregation method, and other parameters. Once the feed is created, users can query Switchboard oracles to resolve it, and verify the data on-chain. This is an example of a pull-based oracle service, where users can request custom data on-demand with low-latency and low gas cost.

Getting Started

To get started with Switchboard On-Demand, you will need to install the Switchboard CLI and set up a Switchboard account. You can then create a Switchboard On-Demand job and query the oracle to get the data.

There's a Solidity-SDK that you can use to interact with the oracle contract on-chain and leverage customized oracle data within your smart contracts. For querying oracle updates off-chain for on-chain submission, you can use the Switchboard On-Demand Typescript-SDK.

Prerequisites

To use Switchboard On-Demand, you will need to have a basic understanding of Ethereum and smart contracts. For more on Switchboard's Architecture, see the docs (EVM docs will be consolidated with main docs upon completion of audit).

Installation

You can install the Switchboard On-Demand Solidity SDK by running:

npm install @switchboard-xyz/on-demand-solidity

And you can install the cross-chain Typescript SDK by running:

npm install @switchboard-xyz/on-demand

Forge (Optional)

If you're using Forge, add following to your remappings.txt file: @switchboard-xyz/on-demand-solidity/=node_modules/@switchboard-xyz/on-demand-solidity

Usage

Designing a Switchboard On-Demand Feed

To design a Switchboard On-Demand feed, you can use the On-Demand Builder. Switchboard Feeds are created by specifying data sources and aggregation methods in an OracleJob format.

Here's an example of creating a feed for querying ETH/USDC on Binance:

import {
  createJob,
  simulateJob,
  getDevnetQueue,
} from "@switchboard-xyz/on-demand";

// ...

const job = createJob({
  tasks: [
    {
      httpTask: "https://api.binance.com/api/v3/ticker/price?symbol=ETHUSDC",
    },
    {
      jsonParseTask: "$.price",
    },
  ],
});

// Get the latest update data for the feed
const result = await simulateFeed({
  // Within feeds you can have multiple jobs, the final result will be the median of all jobs
  jobs: [job],
  // Here we'll use devnet because we're going to be using a non-prod network
  queue: await getDevnetQueue(),
});

console.log(result); // Job's output price, feedId (derived from Job Definition, and Switchboard Queue ID)

Solidity

The code below shows the flow for leveraging Switchboard feeds in Solidity.

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import {ISwitchboard} from "@switchboard-xyz/on-demand-solidity/ISwitchboard.sol";
import {Structs} from "@@switchboard-xyz/on-demand-solidity/structs/Structs.sol";

contract Example {
  ISwitchboard switchboard;

  // Every Switchboard Feed has a unique feed ID derived from the OracleJob definition and Switchboard Queue ID.
  bytes32 feedId;

  // If the transaction fee is not paid, the update will fail.
  error InsufficientFee(uint256 expected, uint256 received);

  // If the feed result is invalid, this error will be emitted.
  error InvalidResult(int128 result);

  // If the Switchboard update succeeds, this event will be emitted with the latest price.
  event FeedData(int128 price);

  /**
   * @param _switchboard The address of the Switchboard contract
   * @param _feedId The feed ID for the feed you want to query
   */
  constructor(address _switchboard, bytes32 _feedId) {
    // Initialize the target _switchboard
    // Get the existing Switchboard contract address on your preferred network from the Switchboard Docs
    switchboard = ISwitchboard(_switchboard);
    feedId = _feedId;
  }

  /**
   * getFeedData is a function that uses an encoded Switchboard update
   * If the update is successful, it will read the latest price from the feed
   * See below for fetching encoded updates (e.g., using the Switchboard Typescript SDK)
   * @param updates Encoded feed updates to update the contract with the latest result
   */
  function getFeedData(bytes[] calldata updates) public payable {


    // Get the fee for updating the feeds. If the transaction fee is not paid, the update will fail.
    uint256 fee = switchboard.getFee(updates);
    if (msg.value < fee) {
      revert InsufficientFee(fee, msg.value);
    }

    // Submit the updates to the Switchboard contract
    switchboard.updateFeeds{ value: fee }(updates);

    // Read the current value from a Switchboard feed.
    // This will fail if the feed doesn't have fresh updates ready (e.g. if the feed update failed)
    Structs.Update latestUpdate = switchboard.getLatestValue(feedId);

    // Get the latest feed result
    // This is encoded as decimal * 10^18 to avoid floating point issues
    // Some feeds require negative numbers, so results are int128's, but this example uses positive numbers
    int128 result = latestUpdate.result;

    // In this example, we revert if the result is negative
    if (result < 0) {
      revert InvalidResult(result);
    }

    // Emit the latest result from the feed
    emit FeedData(latestUpdate.result);
  }
}

This contract:

  1. Sets the Switchboard contract address and feed ID in the constructor
  2. Defines a function getFeedData that:
    • Checks if the transaction fee is paid, using switchboard.getFee(bytes[] calldata updates)
    • Submits the updates to the Switchboard contract using switchboard.updateFeeds(bytes[] calldata updates)
    • Reads the latest value from the feed using switchboard.getLatestValue(bytes32 feedId)
    • Emits the latest result from the feed

Getting the Encoded Updates

To get the encoded updates for the feed, you can use the Switchboard Typescript SDK. Here's an example of how to get the encoded updates:

import * as ethers from "ethers";

interface OracleData {
  oracle_pubkey: string;
  queue_pubkey: string;
  oracle_signing_pubkey: string;
  feed_hash: string;
  recent_hash: string;
  failure_error: string;
  success_value: string;
  msg: string;
  signature: string;
  recovery_id: number;
  recent_successes_if_failed: any[];
  timestamp: number;
  result: number;
}

interface FeedResponse {
  encoded: string[];
  results: OracleData[];
}

// Create a Switchboard On-Demand job
const results = await fetch(
  "https://crossbar.switchboard.xyz/updates/evm/1116/0xfd2b067707a96e5b67a7500e56706a39193f956a02e9c0a744bf212b19c7246c"
);

// Target contract address
const exampleAddress = "0xc65f0acf9df6b4312d3f3ce42a778767b3e66b8a";

// for tokens (this is the Human-Readable ABI format)
const abi = ["function getFeedData(bytes[] calldata updates) public payable"];

// ... Setup ethers provider ...

// The Contract object
const exampleContract = new ethers.Contract(exampleAddress, abi, provider);
