Therefore, what is widely known as _the oracle\nproblem_ is in practice _the API connectivity problem_. Existing oracle\nsolutions fall short because they fail to make this distinction, resulting in\ninferior solutions that depend on third-party oracles and ecosystems that\nexclude API providers. By refining the definition of the problem, API3 aims to\nprovide a much more optimal solution.\n\n## Whitepaper\n\nSee the\n[whitepaper](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/api3dao/api3-whitepaper/master/api3-whitepaper.pdf)\nfor a detailed discussion of the project. Just as these docs, you can discuss it\nand propose updates through\n[issues](https://github.com/api3dao/api3-whitepaper/issues).\n\n## Medium Posts\n\nSee a grouped list of our Medium posts [here](https://medium.com/api3).\n\n## Become a part of API3\n\nAPI3 is formed by people who spontaneously found each other through a common\nunderstanding. Despite being largely overlooked, the API connectivity problem is\nthe most critical obstacle in front of meaningful decentralized applications\nbeing built at scale.\n\nIf existing oracle solutions do not fulfill the needs of the decentralized\napplications you want to build, give you a fair opportunity to monetize your API\nbusiness, or feel like they are working against the ethos of decentralization,\nwe invite you to be a part of API3 so that we can solve the API connectivity\nproblem together. If you are coming from a technical background, see our\n[Documentation](https://docs.api3.org/) and get started contributing.\n\nThe API connectivity problem is in essence an ecosystem building problem, more\nso than a technical one. This means that API3 can use the skills of all kinds of\nexperts and the decentralized nature of the project will allow you to shape it\nin a way that makes the best use of your skills.\n\n## Communication Channels\n\n**Website:** https://api3.org/\n\n**Forum (for community):** https://forum.api3.org/\n\n**Telegram (for community):** https://t.me/API3DAO\n\n**Discord (for contributors):** https://discord.gg/qnRrcfnm5W\n\n**Medium publication of the DAO:** https://medium.com/api3\n\n**[API3 Documentation](https://docs.api3.org)**\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapi3dao%2Fold-api3-docs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fapi3dao%2Fold-api3-docs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fapi3dao%2Fold-api3-docs/lists"}
