[ERC-3668: CCIP Read: Secure offchain data retrieval](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3668) suggests a mechanism that is used widely on the ETH ecosystem to allow a contract to fetch external data. Providing the functionality as option for connex based interactions with VechainThor improves data access. I suggest to add an option to connex that enables CCIP reading for contract calls. When enabled, connex will automatically follow the standard and load off-chain-information and pass it to the contract. It would lessen the burden on developers to build their own off-chain-access and creates the ability to share data access between dApps.

As an additional note: - `@chainlink/ethers-ccip-read-provider` does that as a wrapper for ethers providers - here is an example snippet, how this could work: - [oracle.vechain.energy/example-consumers/ccip-read/test-OracleCCIP.js at main · vechain-energy/oracle.vechain.energy · GitHub](https://github.com/vechain-energy/oracle.vechain.energy/blob/main/example-consumers/ccip-read/test-OracleCCIP.js#L44-L127) ---

Hey @favo I wonder if this is something that would better exist in the new sdk. It isn’t a high priority for the team given they are improving the product with the aim of an alpha release. However, the new sdk could be a better home for CCIP support over Connex.
