While the crypto economy has shed significant value, losing more than $2 trillion since the highs recorded at the end of 2021, a great deal of value was erased from smart contract platform tokens and decentralized finance (defi) protocols. One sector of the defi ecosystem that’s recorded heavy losses this year is the blockchain oracles space, as a great number of oracles secure a lot less value than they did seven months ago. While there are more than two dozen oracles today and there were only 17 at the beginning of the year, the total value secured by oracles has decreased by....

The importance of decentralized oracles: Interview with Sergey Nazarov

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov explains why a decentralized oracle network is needed to ensure trust in the DeFi ecosystem. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov believes that increasing the decentralization and scalability of oracle technologies are key to ensure trust in the DeFi ecosystem. Oracles play a key role in the correct functioning of DeFI protocols by connecting them to real-world data. However, the trustworthiness of oracles becomes compromised in instances where they rely on a single data source to retrieve information. For instance, according to Nazarov, excessively....

Why Oracles Will Drive the Next Stage of Evolution in the DeFi Market

In a world of “interests,” it is vital that no one has a monopoly on truth. Decentralized protocols have grown in popularity as viable alternatives to traditional centralized systems. People are recognizing the flaws of centralized authority and adopting open, decentralized, and trustless systems. However, for decentralized protocols to truly be open and transparent, there’s a need for an infrastructure that would help access offline real-time information in a trustless manner. There is no doubt that we live in a world where anyone can simply share false information and declare....
