The DLC attestor creates pre-signatures for potential contract outcomes using the users' keys, its own private key, and a nonce. Multiple pre-signatures may be generated for complex outcomes.

E.g., CAD/USD, where the base currency "CAD" represents how much of the quote currency "USD" is needed for you to get one unit of the base currency. For example, if you were looking at the CAD/USD currency pair, the Canadian dollar would be the base currency and the U.S. dollar would be the quote currency. If CAD/USD = 0.75, it means that 1 Canadian dollar is equal to $0.75.
