+```
+
+### 1.4 Configure Oracle Node
+
+Create `config.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[oracle]
+id = "oracle_prod_1"
+key_file = "./oracle-key.json"
+
+[network]
+# P2P settings
+listen_addr = "0.0.0.0:9000"
+bootstrap_peers = [
+    "/ip4/oracle1.network.com/tcp/9000/p2p/QmPeerId1...",
+    "/ip4/oracle2.network.com/tcp/9000/p2p/QmPeerId2...",
+    "/ip4/oracle3.network.com/tcp/9000/p2p/QmPeerId3..."
+]
+
+[data_sources]
+# Exchange APIs
+[[data_sources.exchanges]]
+name = "binance"
+api_url = "https://api.binance.com/api/v3"
+weight = 25
+
+[[data_sources.exchanges]]
+name = "coinbase"
+api_url = "https://api.coinbase.com/v2"
+api_key = "${COINBASE_API_KEY}"
+api_secret = "${COINBASE_API_SECRET}"
+weight = 25
+
+# On-chain sources
+[[data_sources.on_chain]]
+name = "uniswap_v3"
+chain = "ethereum"
+rpc_url = "${ETH_RPC_URL}"
+weight = 20
+
+[[data_sources.on_chain]]
+name = "curve"
+chain = "ethereum"
+rpc_url = "${ETH_RPC_URL}"
+weight = 15
+
+# Other oracles (for cross-validation)
+[[data_sources.oracles]]
+name = "chainlink"
+chain = "ethereum"
+contract = "0x5f4eC3Df9cbd43714FE2740f5E3616155c5b8419"
+weight = 15
+
+[submission]
+# Price submission settings
+min_sources = 3
+max_price_age_seconds = 30
+submission_interval_seconds = 5
+confidence_threshold = 0.95
+
+[monitoring]
+# Metrics and monitoring
+metrics_port = 9091
+log_level = "info"
+```
+
+### 1.5 Set Up Database
+
+```bash
+# Create database
+sudo -u postgres createdb oracle_node
+sudo -u postgres createuser oracle_user -P
+
+# Initialize schema
+psql -U oracle_user -d oracle_node < schema.sql
+```
+
+## Step 2: Data Source Integration
+
+### 2.1 Exchange API Integration
+
+Create `src/data_sources/binance.rs`:
+
+```rust
+use async_trait::async_trait;
+use reqwest::Client;
+use serde::Deserialize;
+
+#[derive(Deserialize)]
+struct BinanceTickerResponse {
+    symbol: String,
+    price: String,
+}
+
+pub struct BinanceClient {
+    client: Client,
+    api_url: String,
+}
+
+#[async_trait]
+impl DataSource for BinanceClient {
+    async fn fetch_price(&self, pair: &str) -> Result<PriceData, Error> {
+        let symbol = convert_pair_format(pair); // ETH/USD -> ETHUSDT
+        let url = format!("{}/ticker/price?symbol={}", self.api_url, symbol);
+        
+        let resp: BinanceTickerResponse = self.client
+            .get(&url)
+            .send()
+            .await?
+            .json()
+            .await?;
+            
+        Ok(PriceData {
+            source: "binance",
+            price: parse_price(&resp.price)?,
+            volume: self.fetch_volume(&symbol).await?,
+            timestamp: current_timestamp(),
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2.2 On-Chain Data Source
+
+```rust
+use ethers::prelude::*;
+
+pub struct UniswapV3Client {
+    provider: Provider<Http>,
+    pool_address: Address,
+}
+
+impl UniswapV3Client {
+    async fn fetch_price(&self, pair: &str) -> Result<PriceData, Error> {
+        // Get pool slot0 for current price
+        let pool = IUniswapV3Pool::new(self.pool_address, self.provider.clone());
+        let slot0 = pool.slot_0().call().await?;
+        
+        // Calculate price from sqrtPriceX96
+        let price = calculate_price_from_sqrt(slot0.0, decimals0, decimals1);
+        
+        Ok(PriceData {
+            source: "uniswap_v3",
+            price,
+            volume: self.fetch_24h_volume().await?,
+            timestamp: current_timestamp(),
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Step 3: Smart Contract Deployment
+
+### 3.1 Deploy Oracle Registry
+
+```solidity
+// Deploy OracleRegistry.sol
+contract OracleRegistry {
+    mapping(address => OracleInfo) public oracles;
+    
+    struct OracleInfo {
+        string peerId;
+        uint256 stake;
+        uint256 reputation;
+        bool active;
+    }
+    
+    function registerOracle(string memory peerId) external payable {
+        require(msg.value >= MIN_STAKE, "Insufficient stake");
+        oracles[msg.sender] = OracleInfo({
+            peerId: peerId,
+            stake: msg.value,
+            reputation: INITIAL_REPUTATION,
+            active: true
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 3.2 Deploy Price Aggregator
+
+```solidity
+// Deploy PriceAggregator.sol with oracle network interface
+contract PriceAggregator {
+    IOracleNetwork public oracleNetwork;
+    
+    constructor(address _oracleNetwork) {
+        oracleNetwork = IOracleNetwork(_oracleNetwork);
+    }
+    
+    // ... aggregation logic
+}
+```
+
+## Step 4: Running the Oracle Network
+
+### 4.1 Start Oracle Node
+
+```bash
+# Set environment variables
+export DATABASE_URL="postgresql://oracle_user:password@localhost/oracle_node"
+export COINBASE_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+export ETH_RPC_URL="https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/v2/your-key"
+
+# Run oracle node
+./target/release/oracle-node run --config config.toml
+```
+
+### 4.2 Docker Deployment
+
+Create `Dockerfile`:
+
+```dockerfile
+FROM rust:1.70 as builder
+WORKDIR /app
+COPY . .
+RUN cargo build --release
+
+FROM debian:bullseye-slim
+RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libssl1.1 ca-certificates
+COPY --from=builder /app/target/release/oracle-node /usr/local/bin/
+COPY config.toml /etc/oracle/
+CMD ["oracle-node", "run", "--config", "/etc/oracle/config.toml"]
+```
+
+Deploy with Docker Compose:
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+
+services:
+  oracle:
+    build: .
+    environment:
+      - DATABASE_URL=postgresql://oracle:password@db/oracle_node
+      - COINBASE_API_KEY=${COINBASE_API_KEY}
+      - ETH_RPC_URL=${ETH_RPC_URL}
+    ports:
+      - "9000:9000"  # P2P
+      - "9091:9091"  # Metrics
+    depends_on:
+      - db
+    restart: unless-stopped
+
+  db:
+    image: postgres:14
+    environment:
+      - POSTGRES_DB=oracle_node
+      - POSTGRES_USER=oracle
+      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password
+    volumes:
+      - oracle_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
+
+volumes:
+  oracle_data:
+```
+
+## Step 5: Monitoring and Maintenance
+
+### 5.1 Set Up Monitoring
+
+```yaml
+# prometheus.yml
+global:
+  scrape_interval: 15s
+
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: 'oracle-nodes'
+    static_configs:
+      - targets: 
+        - 'oracle1:9091'
+        - 'oracle2:9091'
+        - 'oracle3:9091'
+```
+
+### 5.2 Key Metrics to Monitor
+
+- **Attestation Rate**: Should be consistent (e.g., 0.2-1 Hz)
+- **Data Source Availability**: Track failures per source
+- **Price Deviation**: Monitor for outliers
+- **Network Connectivity**: P2P peer count
+- **CRDT Merge Rate**: Should see regular merges
+- **Memory Usage**: CRDTs grow over time
+
+### 5.3 Alerting Rules
+
+```yaml
+groups:
+  - name: oracle_alerts
+    rules:
+      - alert: OracleOffline
+        expr: up{job="oracle-nodes"} == 0
+        for: 5m
+        
+      - alert: LowDataSources
+        expr: oracle_active_sources < 3
+        for: 10m
+        
+      - alert: HighPriceDeviation
+        expr: oracle_price_deviation > 0.05
+        for: 5m
+```
+
+## Step 6: Security Best Practices
+
+### 6.1 Key Management
+
+- Use hardware security modules (HSM) for production keys
+- Implement key rotation every 90 days
+- Never expose private keys in logs or configs
+
+### 6.2 API Security
+
+- Use API rate limiting for all data sources
+- Implement circuit breakers for failing sources
+- Validate all external data with multiple sources
+
+### 6.3 Network Security
+
+- Enable TLS for all P2P connections
+- Implement peer authentication
+- Use firewalls to restrict access
+
+### 6.4 Operational Security
+
+```bash
+# Regular security audit
+./oracle-node audit --check-sources --verify-attestations
+
+# Backup critical data
+pg_dump -U oracle_user oracle_node > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
+
+# Monitor for anomalies
+tail -f /var/log/oracle/oracle.log | grep -E "(ERROR|WARN|ANOMALY)"
+```
+
+## Step 7: Scaling Considerations
+
+### 7.1 Horizontal Scaling
+
+- Add more oracle nodes in different regions
+- Use GeoDNS for regional data source routing
+- Implement sharding by asset pairs if needed
+
+### 7.2 Performance Optimization
+
+```toml
+[performance]
+# Tune for high throughput
+attestation_batch_size = 100
+merge_interval_ms = 500
+cache_ttl_seconds = 30
+max_memory_gb = 8
+```
+
+### 7.3 Cost Optimization
+
+- Cache frequently accessed prices
+- Batch RPC calls to reduce costs
+- Use websocket connections where available
+- Implement adaptive submission frequency
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Oracle not submitting prices**
+   - Check data source connectivity
+   - Verify API keys are valid
+   - Ensure minimum sources threshold is met
+
+2. **High memory usage**
+   - Implement CRDT pruning for old attestations
+   - Adjust cache sizes
+   - Monitor for memory leaks
+
+3. **Network partition**
+   - Ensure bootstrap nodes are accessible
+   - Check firewall rules
+   - Verify P2P port is open
+
+## Conclusion
+
+A properly deployed BFT-CRDT oracle network provides:
+- Decentralized price feeds without consensus overhead
+- Byzantine fault tolerance
+- High availability and partition tolerance
+- Cost-effective operation
+
+Regular monitoring and maintenance ensure reliable operation for DeFi protocols depending on accurate price data.
