CrossChain Compass

## About CrossChain Compass

### Inspiration

The need for a tool that simplifies cross-chain token price comparison remains a driving force. It's crucial to empower users to make informed decisions and potentially capitalize on arbitrage opportunities.

### What it does (current state)

While still under development, the core functionality of CrossChain Compass is already taking shape. The smart contract foundation has been laid, enabling:

Registration of Chainlink oracle addresses for reliable price feeds.
Price updates for supported tokens on Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche.
Retrieval of latest prices for specific token-chain combinations.
Calculation of price differences between chains, ensuring accuracy through decimal handling and overflow checks.

### Challenges and Accomplishments

Key challenges addressed thus far include:

Oracle integration: Successfully incorporated Chainlink Price Feeds for accurate cross-chain data.
Decimal handling: Implemented functionality to retrieve and manage token decimals for precise price comparisons.
Price difference calculation: Developed a robust method to calculate price discrepancies across chains, ensuring data integrity.

### What's next

Development priorities moving forward include:

Frontend development: Creating a user-friendly interface to make the tool accessible and intuitive.
Backend integration: Connecting to blockchain explorers and DeFi protocols for seamless data aggregation and analysis.
Additional features:
- Fetching historical price data for trend analysis.
- Integrating with Chainlink Keepers for automatic price updates.
- Implementing arbitrage opportunity identification and profit calculation.
