Surveys on DOP Oracles allow you to create multiple-choice questions and target them to specific groups of verified Oracles. You can collect feedback on a new product idea, gauge public opinion on a certain topic, run quizzes, and much more. You can even use it for DAO voting and decision execution (see the example at the end of this article), which is exactly what DOP is planning to do. 

 

Why Use DOP Oracle Surveys?

Blockchain-based surveys offer several unique advantages over traditional digital surveys, like immutable results and smart contract integration. Once recorded on the blockchain, survey responses can’t be altered or tampered with, ensuring data integrity. Survey results can then be used as direct input for decentralized applications (dApps) or smart contracts, enabling automated decision-making based on real-world opinions.

When you run surveys on DOP Oracles, you can:

• Get insights from verified, real people
• Target specific demographics for more relevant data
• Automate the entire process from start to finish
• Ensure data integrity with blockchain technology
• Use survey results in your own dApps and smart contracts.

Whether you’re a marketer looking for consumer insights, a researcher gathering data, or a business testing new ideas, DOP Oracle Surveys offer a unique blend of targeted reach and blockchain reliability.

 

How It Works:

1. Create Your Survey: Set up your questions and answer options.
2. Define Your Audience: Apply filters like age, gender, or location to target specific Oracle groups.
3. Set Survey Parameters: Choose how many responses you want or when the survey should end.
4. Launch and Wait: Eligible Oracles receive notifications about the survey and submit their answers.
5. Get Results: Once complete, survey results are available on the blockchain and displayed on the My Questions screen.

 

Key Features:

• Demographic Targeting: Reach the exact audience you need.
• Automatic Stop: Survey ends when you get the number of responses you want.
• Fair Rewards: Oracles get paid automatically for valid responses.
• Blockchain Security: All data is recorded securely on-chain.

 

Costs and Setup:

• Minimum reward per Oracle: $5
• You decide how many responses you need
• Optional: Increase the reward per Oracle if you want

 

Use Case Example

Here’s an example of a use case for the Survey feature in DOP Oracles:

Imagine a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on sustainable energy projects. They want to launch a new initiative but need community input to guide their decision-making process. Here’s how they could use DOP Oracles’ Survey feature:

1. The DAO creates a survey asking token holders about their preferences for the next renewable energy project (e.g., solar, wind, or hydroelectric).
2. They set up the survey using DOP Oracles.
3. Token holders vote through the DOP Oracles platform, with their responses securely recorded on the blockchain.
4. Once the survey concludes, the results are automatically tallied and recorded on-chain.
5. The DAO’s smart contract reads these results directly from the blockchain.
6. Based on the survey outcome, the smart contract automatically allocates funds to the winning project type, initiating the next phase of development.

This example showcases how a blockchain-based survey can provide transparent, tamper-proof community input that directly influences on-chain actions. It demonstrates the power of combining decentralized decision-making with automated execution, all while leveraging the security and transparency of blockchain technology.
