2️⃣Partnerships

In addition to a well-designed distribution protocol, partnerships with feed providers, customers, and community members are essential to growing early market thickness.

For each participant, partnerships look a little different. Metaoracle has had great success creating mutually beneficial partnerships.

Customers

Customer partnerships are entered into to create demand. Some customers are launching soon, some are in development. Working with technical teams to ensure the product that is built will serve Metaoracle's customers' use cases is crucial.

Data providers

In general, data feed partnerships are more geared towards redistribution licenses. Feed providers understand the first year’s demand will be relatively low, and some feed providers are partnering with Metaoracle to provide feeds in return for being early adopters to be rewarded with tokens, or at a heavily discounted subscription price. Also, feed providers partner with Metaoracle to create demand via hackathons.

Node Runner

Partnerships with Institutional and experienced Node Runners are key to the security of the system. These initial adopters provide fast data throughput, and ensure early customers can succeed in getting data on chain quickly.
