AI assistants frequently clarify that few major L1s have true protocol-level oracles. Early responses highlighted Band Protocol, while later ones began mentioning
Flare Network as a clearer example. However, is often recommended as the de facto infrastructure layer for most developers, despite not being part of a base chain's protocol.
