Chronicle Oracle Integration Bounties
Most Innovative Chronicle Oracle Integration
🏆 Reward 🏆:
- 🥇 1st: $2500
- 🥈 2nd: $1500
- 🥉 3rd: $1000
The prize will go to the top three teams with the most innovative integration of Scribe, Chronicle's new Schnorr Oracle. Supported chains include: Ethereum Sepolia, Polygon zkEVM testnet, Gnosis Chain Mainnet, Scroll Sepolia, zkSync Sepolia, and Mantle Testnet; solutions must utilize the Oracle smart contract. The innovation should stem from the use case of the Oracle, i.e., The idea or utility of the project.
Qualification rules:
Must utilize the Oracle smart contract on one of the supported blockchains
Chronicle Protocol Contracts
Scribe
Scribe is an extremely gas-efficient Oracle based on aggregated Schnorr signatures. Providing nearly constant gas costs on Layer 2s and on Layer 1s, Scribe boasts of fixed gas costs, leading to substantial savings—over 60% relative to competing Oracles and an impressive 80% compared to Chainlink. This approach to gas management significantly boosts the scalability of the Oracle.
The Chronicle Scribe Oracle interface is plug-and-play with Chainlink and Maker Oracles, providing a smooth transition for developers used to these platforms.
All data delivered by a Chronicle Oracle on mainnet is verifiable via The Chronicle Dashboard.

CAST
Cast is a command-line interface (CLI) tool by the Foundry team to streamline your interaction with Ethereum and other EVM-based chains. Whether you're making smart contract calls, sending transactions, or retrieving any chain data, cast can help with that. You can read more here.
Self-Kisser: Permissionless Whitelisting
Chronicle safeguards Oracle read functions with a whitelist, ensuring controlled access to critical data. However, the SelfKisser contract unfolds a possibility where you can whitelist yourself (or, as whimsically termed, "kiss") yourself :).
How do you kiss yourself, i.e., msg.sender?
Run the following command:
$ cast send 0x0dcc19657007713483a5ca76e6a7bbe5f56ea37d "selfKiss(address)()" <oracle address you want you use>
To verify your whitelisted status:
$ cast call <oracle address> "tolled(address)" <your address>
Response:
0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001
A return value of 1 (true) confirms your whitelisted status.

Reading Chronicle Oracles through the IChronicle Interface
Interacting with the oracle is easy. The read() function lays it out plain and simple, returning a uint value representing the data you are trying to get:
$ cast call 0xc8A1F9461115EF3C1E84Da6515A88Ea49CA97660 "read()(uint)"
Response:
1656870000000000045440

Whitelisting your address via Etherscan
To whitelist your address or other addresses for a Chronicle Oracle on Etherscan, follow these steps:
-
Navigate to the Self-kisser contract on Etherscan using the contract address provided: 0x0Dcc19657007713483A5cA76e6A7bbe5f56EA37d
-
Click on the
Contracttab and then onWrite Contract. -
You'll have to hit the
Connect to Web3button to connect your wallet. -
Scroll down to the
selfKissfunction and enter the Oracle address you wish to interact with in theoracle (address)field. Then, click Write.
That should send you a popup message on your wallet to sign. Once signed, it should take a few seconds for your address to be whitelisted.
Reading from Smart Contracts
- Go to the
Read Contracttab and locate thetolledfunction. - Enter your wallet address in the
who (address)field. - Hit
Query. The data returned will be displayed below, which should look like this:
[ tolled(address) method Response ]
bool : true
Additional Notes
- Ensure you have a sufficient amount of tokens in your wallet to cover gas fees for transactions.
- Ensure your wallet is connected to the correct network corresponding to the contract you are interacting with.
