Story: A comprehensive overview on pricing structure of Bridge Oracle

By Sydney TheCMO

1 / 15

Bridge Oracle is certainly one of the most talked-about oracle systems in the current crypto space.

2 / 15

Bridge Oracle follows not one but two payment methods -

3 / 15

The fee will be determined based on an on-chain algorithmic calculation and once decided, will be deducted automatically from the smart contract of the user.

4 / 15

It’s to note here the fee for the request (to inject data in Bridge oracle) will be based on TRX’s current value.

5 / 15

When a user sends a request, Bridge oracle checks the BRG token balance of his smart contract.

6 / 15

If the user doesn’t have sufficient funds in BRG token balance, Bridge oracle will check the TRX balance of his smart contract.

7 / 15

But, if the user contract doesn’t have an adequate fund in both BRG and TRX balance, his request will be cancelled. 

8 / 15

This is to note here, BRG-based payments carry discounts and hence are more affordable compared to TRX payments.

9 / 15

The pricing structure here comprises of three main parts-

10 / 15

“Query Price = Cost of Query Type + Query Fee Limit + Maximum Bandwidth Price”

11 / 15

The “Cost of Query Type” segment refers to the price of queries from data source or oracle type.

12 / 15

Again, this segment comprises of two parts-

13 / 15

The Base price is designed to determine the cost of Bridge services. Multiplier helps to show the complexity level of a task on the basis of resource consumption.

14 / 15

This amount is paid to the blockchain to trigger a user’s contract. The amount of Query Fee limit is to be decided by users only.

15 / 15

It refers to a constant amount that will be paid when Bridge oracle decides to trigger the smart contract of a user. The value of Maximum Bandwidth Price is equivalent to 0.01 TRX.
