Every single Ethereum miner has to process every single smart contract transaction and they all have to do Proof of Work, which takes a huge amount of computation power. With oracles, you don't need the

Thats just an example if your comparable AWS fees are $1k / year. You wouldn't need to pay $20K - but vest it in order to cover the equivalent of $1K in Amazon bandwidth fees.

Oracles as they affect SMTs Rewards Pools are only here to answer a simple question: Did the entity behind this account perform action X, or X+Y, or X+Y+N? If yes, publish the account on the Oracle's feed.
