Blockchain Oracle Lead

Kleros (see our whitepaper https://kleros.io/assets/whitepaper.pdf) is a blockchain protocol for online dispute resolution. A key use case of Kleros is arbitration in oracle disputes. Smart contract cannot access information outside the blockchain, but a lot of applications relies on the knowledge of off-chain data. An oracle is a data feed services that provide external data into the blockchain. When participants in those data feed do not agree about those external data, oracle disputes occurs. Oracles are required for insurance (did it rain? did a tsunami occured?), betting (did France win the world cup?) and derivatives (what is the price of ETH in $ ?).
