This oracle data provider platform has surpassed 4 million nodes since inception
The protocol has weathered multiple bear markets and has nearly 250 million data payloads and counting. Can a fully-functional oracle network ecosystem that anonymously collects and validates geospatial (location-specific) data exist? One blockchain firm seems to have gotten the gist of the idea. Founded in 2012, XY Labs and its namesake protocol XYO, which is built on the Ethereum blockchain, seek to reward participants for the genesis, interpretation, analysis, and storage of data to be called upon for specific problems. There are currently over 4 million nodes worldwide on the XYO....

Lenders on decentralized finance (defi) protocol Compound on Thursday got liquidated for a massive $103 million, according to analytics provider Loanscan. This happened after what appears to be an oracle exploit on the Dai stablecoin. An apparent error or malicious attack to the Dai-dollar-peg data supplied by the Coinbase oracle pushed the price of the stablecoin to about $1.30 – a premium of 30% – leaving some users on Compound under-collateralized. Compound gets its pricing data from Coinbase Pro. Now, once this happened, and based on the built-in protocol rules, this could....
Blockchain technology indicates not only bitcoin but in reality, it has the capacity to change businesses with smart contract-related blockchain frameworks like XinFin. There are many oracles present which play a major role in connecting the gap between blockchain application and external data, however, not all of them succeed. Decentralized oracle platform Plugin offers cost-effective solutions for any smart contract on XinFin platform. GoPlugin.co gathers information from various external sources, consolidates and makes sure the exact value is offered to its users at any point of time.....
Decentralized oracles are specially created to achieve deterministic results that rely on cause and effect in comparison to an individual relationship. A decentralized oracle solves security issues by providing a trusted and reliable system. More so, it bridges the gap between blockchain smart contracts and external data sources by applying the traditional method of using API to fetch data. They obtain data from the most trusted sources and deliver it to the user through the blockchain and external data sources. The Plugin is the agnostic decentralized oracle. It offers a cost-effective....
The oracle network’s exponential growth has been tied to the emergence of DeFi. Co-founder Sergey Nazarov said Chainlink is also powering metaverses. The total value secured by the Chainlink network has officially surpassed $75 billion, marking a new milestone for the decentralized oracle solution that has become synonymous with price data services for the rapidly growing DeFi sector. With the milestone, Chainlink has become “one of the most value securing forms of decentralized consensus on the planet,” according to protocol co-founder Sergey Nazarov. Chainlink is also one of the....
Following the release of its staking roadmap, Chainlink’s LINK native token performed quite impressively. First, it released its long-awaited roadmap revealing various phases it will go through. Recently via blog post on its official website, Chainlink cited “Chainlink Economics 2.0.” The blog highlighted the aim to implement crypto staking to scale the network. While doing so, the post emphasized that the data oracle is planning to collaborate and accept other blockchains to offer “growth and security.” New Staking Roadmap Dubbed Chainlink Economics 2.0 Staking the LINK token has been a....
