Proposal to Add Tellor as an Oracle (part deux)

Hey all,

Glad to see such constructive and detailed discussion.

From my perspective adding more Oracle sources increases the resilience to the system and decreases sensitivity to any particular Oracle source. The AMPL median Oracle was designed to use multiple sources for robustness. Hence I support adding tellor as a third source to the existing two oracle source Ampleforth’s custom oracle and Chainlink’s.

The last time a value can be submitted and be considered for the day’s rebase is 1 am UTC and rebase happens at 2 am UTC. That one hour window is meant for purging values after manual review. Which in Tellor’s case would be triggered by a value dispute on Tellor’s side. The 1 hour review window and Tellor’s dispute mechanism should make adding Tellor as an oracle source a low risk. While providing the added benefit to robustness from one more Oracle source.

It will be exciting to see this go through Ampleforth’s governance process, especially being the first proposal!
