Oracle

Oracles are essential infrastructure components that feed real-time, off-chain data (such as price feeds, weather, or sports results) into blockchain smart contracts. Without decentralized oracles like Chainlink and Pyth, DeFi could not function. In 2026, oracles have evolved to support verifiable randomness and cross-chain data synchronization. This tag covers the technical evolution of data availability, tamper-proof price feeds, and the critical role oracles play in ensuring the deterministic execution of complex decentralized applications.

Stablecoin security is a race against time: Immunefy CEO

Stablecoin security is a race against time: Immunefy CEO

The post Stablecoin security is a race against time: Immunefy CEO appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mitchell Amador, CEO of Immunefi, explains what security firms are racing to prevent the next billion-dollar exploit in stablecoins. Summary As stablecoin adoption explodes, security infrastructure is struggling to keep pace Over 90% of audited projects had critical vulnerabilities, says Immunefy CEO The vast majority of projects don’t use key security features like firewalls As crypto marches toward mainstream adoption, stablecoins are becoming the financial backbone of the on-chain economy. But while capital continues to flood in, the security infrastructure underpinning these systems remains dangerously underdeveloped. Mitchell Amador, CEO of the Web3 security firm Immunefi, believes we’re in a “race against time”. In this interview, he lays out the real risks hiding inside stablecoin systems, why most institutions aren’t ready for the next billion-dollar exploit. Crypto.news: What can you tell me about the current state of security when it comes to stablecoins? Mitchell Amador: We’re in a kind of brave new world. We’re only now beginning to find out whether the security measures we’ve used over the past few years have really worked. On one hand, we haven’t seen a major stablecoin hack in quite a while. You can look back at incidents like the early DeFi hacks, or issues like the depegging of USDC during the Silicon Valley Bank collapse — those were serious events, but we haven’t had anything of that size since. So people are feeling pretty good about stablecoin security. But the truth is: we don’t really know if things are secure. To give you a comparison, think about how long it took to feel confident in something like MakerDAO, Aave, or Compound. It’s taken years for users to build that trust. Stablecoins, especially decentralized ones, are still less mature than those protocols. We’re about to add another trillion dollars in stablecoin liquidity to the system…

Retail throws $1.4B into ‘oversubscribed’ MetaETH, zkPass, Momentum ICOs

Retail throws $1.4B into ‘oversubscribed’ MetaETH, zkPass, Momentum ICOs

                                                                               MegaETH blew past its fundraising cap with over $1.3 billion committed, achieving a theoretical valuation of over $27 billion after closing on Thursday.                     Token sale events for privacy protocol zkPass, decentralized exchange Momentum and Ethereum layer-2 network MegaETH have been massively oversubscribed this week, as retail investors clamor to get a slice of emerging crypto projects. The zkPass protocol launched the sale of its utility ZKP token on Monday and surpassed its $2 million target within minutes. The offering still has three days to go, but has received over $67 million worth of allocation requests.zkPass bills itself as a decentralized oracle protocol that takes private data held on websites and transforms it into verifiable proofs onchain or in Web3 apps, without exposing the underlying raw data.Read more

A 14-fold increase, $15 billion? MegaETH valuation speculation

A 14-fold increase, $15 billion? MegaETH valuation speculation

Author: oxStill While all L2 blockchains are focused on TVL (Transactions Per Second), one project has quietly achieved a TPS of 100,000 transactions per second, even gaining the endorsement of Vitalik Buterin – this is MegaETH, a disruptor that claims to be building the "first real-time blockchain". MegaETH's public offering is now in its final countdown. As of press time, it has been oversubscribed by 20 times, raising approximately $1 billion. The market has already voted with real money, so what do professional analysts think? 0xResearch analysts Boccaccio & Marc Arjoon: We believe that if you can secure an allocation higher than the minimum, this could be one of the best opportunities this year. The auction will be conducted in the British auction format, starting at 9:00 AM Eastern Time on October 27 and lasting for 72 hours. Unlike traditional token sales, this British auction format allows the market to determine a fair price through competitive bidding. The system operates by determining a liquidation price—the minimum price point at which the total bids fill the entire allocation of 500 million tokens. All successful bidders, regardless of their individual bid amount, pay the same liquidation price. This means that even if someone bids as high as $0.0999 per token, they will only pay the final liquidation price if the final liquidation price is lower. Bidders whose bids are below the liquidation price will receive a full refund, while bidders whose bids meet or exceed the liquidation price will receive an allocation. The auction format eliminates competition for gas fees and the advantage of first-come, first-served, creating a fairer allocation mechanism. This sale offers 500 million MEGA tokens, representing 5% of the total supply of 10 billion tokens, and will be conducted entirely on the Ethereum mainnet, using USDT as the payment method. The auction price range is from $0.0001 to $0.0999 per token, with a starting price of $0.0001 representing a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $1 million and a maximum price of $0.0999 representing an FDV of $999 million. Individual participants can bid a minimum of $2,650 and a maximum of $186,282, with a bid increment of $0.0001. The structure includes a mandatory one-year lock-up period for U.S. accredited investors, who are eligible for a 10% discount. Non-U.S. participants can choose the same lock-up period to enjoy the discount. Following the auction, the allocation calculation period will run from October 30 to November 5, the refund and withdrawal period will be from November 5 to November 19, and the final allocation and redistribution will take place from November 19 to November 21. As expected, the MegaETH public sale has been very successful so far, oversubscribed by 14 times. With the final day approaching, this number is likely to only increase further, with most deposits/bids pouring in during the last few hours. After all, if someone gives you a free money-making machine, the only right thing to do is to deposit as much money as possible into it. Currently, MegaETH is trading on the premarket (on Hyperliquid) with an FDV valuation of $4.5 billion, allowing depositors to potentially earn 4.5x returns. The main issue is that any depositor may only earn 4.5x returns at the minimum bid amount ($2,650). The MegaETH team has publicly disclosed factors influencing allocation, primarily including past wallet interactions, social media influence, and some new "social credit" platforms (such as Ethos). As with any free money-making machine, we've seen a lot of Sybil activity. If the minimum bid is $2,650 and you have 450 Echo/Sonar accounts, you can earn more and have a higher chance of making money than savvy crypto enthusiasts with good social connections and DeFi/on-chain credentials. We've discussed MegaETH several times on the podcast and are generally optimistic about the chain. The team has taken a unique approach to ecosystem building (MegaMafia is now in its second phase, with the third coming soon) and focuses on unique applications—rather than forks of Uniswap, Aave, Morpho, or Compound (which seem to dominate most other chains). Regardless of your opinion on MegaETH's valuation, we've learned two key lessons over the past few months: 1. Some chains are now explicitly focused on revenue, while others focus on other narratives (such as decentralization). It is currently unclear which will provide better returns (e.g., XRP vs. Hyperliquid, or ETH vs. SOL). 2. Many significant returns now come from private public markets (such as Echo, Sonar, etc.), pre-deposits, etc. The whitelist and Discord roles of 2021 (and the subsequent Sybil attack, buying and selling of whitelist and Discord roles) have now evolved into Sonar and Echo (and the subsequent Sybil attack, buying and selling of KYC-verified Sonar and Echo accounts). Former Messari executive Kunal G (@kunalgoel) posted: MegaETH's scale is staggering, and every calculation it generates defies all intuitive expectations. While the market views it as just another ordinary L2, my models show that its actual opportunities far exceed imagination. I constructed four scenario models: Optimistic Scenario – MegaETH achieves advertised performance of 10 Gigagas per second, or 66,667 typical transactions per second. Real-world scenario – The actual scale reached one-third of the expected size, i.e., 3 Gigagas per second, or 20,000 transactions per second. Pessimistic Scenario – Only 10% of the advertised scale, 1 Gigagas per second, 6,667 transactions. Failure Scenario – The project fails completely, and the final fully diluted valuation (FDV) is locked at $200 million. Even in a pessimistic scenario, assuming a single transaction fee as low as $0.0005 (lower than most L1 and L2), MegaETH could generate $288,000 in revenue per day from transaction fees alone, with an annualized revenue exceeding $100 million. Revenue potential increases dramatically with scale: - In a real-world scenario, annual revenue reaches $600 million. In an optimistic scenario, if transaction fees rise slightly to $0.001-$0.002, annual revenue would soar to $4.2 billion. In addition, MegaETH's native stablecoin, MegaUSD, can generate additional income through protocol rewards. Depending on the total value locked (TVL) of the stablecoins, this portion could contribute 8-9 figure annual revenue. The project also plans to internalize MEV revenue through sorter permissions and rack hosting services. The recently launched "staking access" model will have a similar positive impact by reducing the circulating supply and entrusted staking revenue. The model conservatively deducts 50-70% of transaction revenue for infrastructure costs such as the Data Availability Layer (DA), sorter, proof, and oracles. Despite the extremely high operational requirements, costs scale in tandem with throughput, making the calculation logic clear. My baseline scenario predicts annual profits of over $300 million, which, based on a P/E ratio of 30, corresponds to an FDV of approximately $10 billion. Taking into account the probabilities of all scenarios, the weighted expected FDV is as high as $14-15 billion—more than 3 times the current price of Hyperliquid perpetual contracts and more than 14 times the potential of the ICO price. The main risks lie in the efficiency of the mainnet launch and the quality of ecosystem applications. The execution difficulty is particularly critical due to its unprecedented scale; if successful, they will be pioneering. Secondly, regarding ecosystem applications, there don't seem to be any major issues so far; the initial launch list includes both newcomers and established projects, resulting in a healthy lineup.

Ondo, Chainlink partner to bring global finance onchain

The post Ondo, Chainlink partner to bring global finance onchain appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tokenized real-world assets platform Ondo Finance, and leading oracle network Chainlink, have joined forces to accelerate adoption of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds onchain. Summary Ondo and Chainlink team up to bring global finance onchain Chainlink is now the official oracle provider for tokenized stocks and ETFs. CCIP is the preferred interoperability solution for institutions within the ecosystem. Ondo Finance and Chainlink said in an announcement on Thursday that their strategic partnership aims to bring global financial institutions to the blockchain. This comes as the platforms bid to build the infrastructure that will see the tokenization of trillions of dollars in real-world assets. Why it matters As part of the collaboration, Chainlink (LINK) is now the official oracle provider for Ondo Finance (ONDO) tokenized stocks and ETFs. The partnership also makes Chainlink’s cross-chain interoperability protocol the preferred solution for institutional cross-chain initiatives within the Ondo ecosystem.  Teaming up also means Chainlink becomes a member of the Ondo Global Market Alliance, collaborative effort that brings together key industry players such as wallets, exchanges, and custodians. Global Markets Alliance targets adoption of tokenized securities as global markets come onchain. “The tokenization of real-world assets is a fundamental shift in how global markets operate. Ondo’s deployment of tokenized stocks using Chainlink showcases what institutional-grade tokenized stocks look like in production,” said Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink. Ondo brings over 100 tokenized stocks onchain Leveraging Chainlink’s solutions to secure its tokenized stocks allows Ondo to redefine onchain access for traditional financial instruments. “This is how we build the next generation of capital markets,” Nazarov noted. Ondo Global Markets boasts over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs onchain and over $300 million in total value locked. Chainlink’s solutions mean Ondo can tap into custom price feeds, with all key economic events, including dividends and valuations, accessible…

New Crypto Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Nears V1 Protocol Launch as Investors Snap Up Over 80% of Presale Phase 6

The post New Crypto Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Nears V1 Protocol Launch as Investors Snap Up Over 80% of Presale Phase 6 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is turning heads in Q4 2025 as it prepares V1 launch of its lending and borrowing protocol. The project has seen strong demand in its presale in recent weeks. Phase 6 is now nearly complete with more than $18.2 million raised. Investors show strong interest aiming to reap huge bull run gains. This has positioned MUTM among the most talked-about DeFi cryptos of 2025. The presale’s rapid sellout pace signals massive FOMO, with early participants eager to secure tokens before the next price increase. Mutuum Finance’s upcoming V1 protocol, expected to debut on the Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025, will feature an advanced lending and borrowing ecosystem powered by liquidity pools, mtTokens, and an automated liquidator bot. This launch represents a major milestone in building a secure, scalable, and user-centric DeFi platform. With momentum accelerating and presale availability shrinking fast, MUTM stands out as the new crypto investors are rushing to accumulate before its potential breakout moment. Mutuum Finance Presale Stage 6 Nears Sell-Out Mutuum Finance (MUTM) has captured strong interest with its ongoing presale. The project rallied past its first 5 presale stages faster than expected and is now in the sixth at $0.035. Joining the presale today means getting MUTM tokens at the cheapest possible price.  When phase 7 kicks off, the price per coin will pump nearly 20%. This emphasizes the need to buy while it’s still early. More than 17550 investors have scooped up MUTM tokens, bringing the presale raise to $18.15 million. The rapid uptake underscores Mutuum Finance’s growing reputation as the best DeFi crypto to invest in for both high short-term rewards and long-term value growth. Built on Secure Infrastructure and Smart Risk Management At its core, Mutuum Finance is built around a secure, risk-weighted infrastructure designed to protect both the…

Pepe & Chainlink Face Market Adjustments While BlockDAG Raises $435M & Prepares for Genesis Day

Pepe & Chainlink Face Market Adjustments While BlockDAG Raises $435M & Prepares for Genesis Day

The post Pepe & Chainlink Face Market Adjustments While BlockDAG Raises $435M & Prepares for Genesis Day  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Explore how Pepe cools & Chainlink rebounds, while BlockDAG’s Genesis Day and Keynote 4, Dashboard V4, and X Series deployment drive the top trending crypto race. Pepe’s (PEPE) market action has slowed after a volatile run, while the Chainlink (LINK) crypto performance recovers steadily following correction. Both remain active among the top trending crypto assets of 2025, yet investor focus is moving toward sustainable ecosystems built on transparency and execution. BlockDAG’s presale represents this shift in confidence. Now in Batch 32, BlockDAG (BDAG) has 4.5 billion coins remaining, and raised $435 million, at a current price of $0.005 in Batch 32. Its clear roadmap and upcoming Genesis Day and Keynote 4 position it as one of the top trending crypto leaders for 2025. Pepe Market Action Cools After Volatile Rally Pepe’s (PEPE) market action recently lost momentum, recording a 0.42 percent decline as speculative energy faded. After months of strong volume, trading has entered a consolidation phase typical of meme tokens dependent on short-term enthusiasm. This slowdown shows how community hype alone rarely sustains lasting value within the top trending crypto market. While Pepe still commands social attention, its limited ecosystem growth restricts future expansion. Analysts note that unless utility or platform integration is introduced, Pepe’s (PEPE) market action may remain tied to sentiment cycles. Traders are increasingly cautious, preferring projects with measurable fundamentals. Even with this cooling trend, Pepe’s brand power keeps it visible among the top trending crypto tokens. Yet without innovation beyond its meme roots, its future performance will rely on periodic bursts of social engagement rather than consistent development. LINK’s Performance Shows Renewed Investor Confidence Chainlink’s (LINK) crypto performance is regaining traction as price recovery follows a sustained correction. Analysts project a move toward the $46 range once consolidation completes, supported by LINK’s expanding…
