# Welcome to Fetch

### Getting Started

Fetch is an immutable decentralized oracle protocol that incentivizes an open, permissionless network of data reporting and data validation.

It's a system designed to ensure that data can be provided by **anyone** and checked by *everyone*.

This documentation will guide you through everything you need to know, from the basics of how Fetch Oracle improves blockchain networks to insights into the functions of the ecosystem and information for anyone looking to work under the hood.

Let's dive in.
