# Welcome

## What is Tellor?

Tellor is a decentralized oracle protocol that incentivizes an open, permissionless network of data reporting and data validation, ensuring that data can be provided by anyone and checked by everyone. 

Built for any [data type](https://tellor.io/blog/how-to-query-custom-data-with-tellor/), our network of [reporters](https://docs.tellor.io/tellor-docs-v2/reporting-data) supports basic spot prices, more sophisticated pricing specs (TWAP/VWAP), Snapshot vote results, or any custom data needs you have.  If your data can be verified, Tellor can [bring it on-chain](https://feeds.tellor.io).
