# v0.2.16 # { "Depends": "py-genlayer:1jb45aa8ynh2a9c9xn3b7qqh8sm5q93hwfp7jqmwsfhh8jpz09h6" } """ QuorumFeed - a multi-source data feed for numbers that live in messy web pages. Twist: an LLM reads each page, but the LLM is NOT the judge. It only extracts one number per source. Everything after that is deterministic code: 1. several independent sources are read (leader), then re-read (every validator) 2. numbers are aggregated by median, and outliers are trimmed 3. the feed only updates if a quorum of sources agree with each other 4. validators agree on the AGGREGATE (status + value within a tolerance), so one flaky extraction can't break consensus, and a lying leader can't slip in a number the sources don't support If sources disagree, the feed does not update. It records DISPUTED and keeps the last good value, so downstream contracts can tell "fresh", "stale" and "contested" apart.
