1. A method for decentralized oracles in an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transportation ecosystem, the method comprising:
receiving, by an oracle node of a plurality of oracle nodes, from a smart contract validating node of a plurality of validating nodes, a request for data for fulfillment of a smart contract, wherein the plurality of oracle nodes and the plurality of validating nodes are communicatively coupled via an overlay network implemented using a network of a UAV transportation ecosystem that includes the plurality of validating nodes;
generating, by the oracle node, the data for fulfillment of the smart contract; and
providing the data for fulfillment of the smart contract.
