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.

Crucial Upgrade Alert Issued to XRP Ledger Validators: Details

Crucial Upgrade Alert Issued to XRP Ledger Validators: Details

The post Crucial Upgrade Alert Issued to XRP Ledger Validators: Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A crucial upgrade alert has been issued to XRP Ledger validators. In a tweet, Jon Nilsen, an XRPL validator, passes a message to XRP Ledger validators to upgrade to the most recent rippled version 2.6.2 or risk being amendment-blocked in the next 13 days and 20 hours. “If you are running an XRPL node, please update to the latest v2.6.2 of #rippled, or risk being amendment-blocked in 13 days and 20 hours,” Nilsen wrote. In a Nov. 19 XRPL blog post, it was announced that version 2.6.2 of rippled, the reference server implementation of the XRP Ledger protocol, was now available. The release included a new fixDirectoryLimit amendment and a critical bug fix. “fixDirectoryLimit,” an XRPL amendment that removes directory page limits, was activated for voting with the release. A bug that caused an assertion failure when all the inner transactions of a Batch transaction were invalid was fixed. In a recent tweet, Ripple CTO David Schwartz revealed that his hub had been running rippled version 2.6.2 for more than a week with no issues, indicating he himself had subscribed to the upgrade. XRPL smart escrows In a tweet, Vet, an XRPL validator, shared optimism about Smart Escrows coming to the XRP Ledger. Smart Escrows introduce custom conditions to escrow funds directly on-chain with the native escrow feature. Users can release escrow funds based on the XRP price using oracles, alongside other use cases. According to RippleX software engineer Mayukha Vadari, as a new vision for permissionless programmability emerges, the first major component of this initiative is the concept of Smart Features, which allows developers some limited customizability, built on top of individual XRPL primitives. Escrow is the very first primitive to receive this upgrade: enter Smart Escrows. XRPL Escrows are essentially on-chain contracts that govern the all-or-nothing transfer of…

Cardano is executing a “silent reset” after a critical ledger error nearly fractured the network in November

Cardano is executing a “silent reset” after a critical ledger error nearly fractured the network in November

In an industry that thrives on noise and chaos, Cardano is betting its future on a “quiet” hard fork and improved coordination among its leading internal stakeholders. The blockchain network is preparing to execute a technical upgrade engineered to be virtually invisible to the market. Known as Protocol Version 11, the “no new era” hard […] The post Cardano is executing a “silent reset” after a critical ledger error nearly fractured the network in November appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Can LINK remain bullish after its ETF went live?

Can LINK remain bullish after its ETF went live?

The post Can LINK remain bullish after its ETF went live? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It’s been a big few days for Chainlink. The LINK price jumped to $14.84 thanks to stronger network activity, growing institutional interest, and the attention surrounding Grayscale’s new Chainlink ETF (GLNK). But the rally didn’t last long, and the price slipped back down to $11.79. By December 5, the LINK price had started to recover, hovering around $14.1 and posting almost a 5% gain over the past week. So where does Chainlink go from here — what does the Chainlink outlook look like now? Summary LINK price volatility: Chainlink surged to $14.84 before dropping to $11.79, then rebounded toward $14.1. Recovery supported by Grayscale’s new Chainlink ETF launch and a new Solana–Base bridge developed with Coinbase. Chainlink’s growing institutional interest and cross-chain expansion strengthen its near-term momentum. A breakout above $14.6 could open the door to $18.3–$19.3. Losing support at $11.6 may push LINK down toward the $9 zone. Current market scenario Chainlink (LINK) slid to about $11.79, but has already managed to rebound and head up toward $14 again. LINK 1-day chart, December 2025 | Source: crypto.news The rebound was likely driven by Grayscale launching its Chainlink ETF on NYSE Arca, giving LINK a rare institution-focused investment product. On top of that, Coinbase and Chainlink have officially rolled out a new bridge connecting Solana and Base, Ethereum’s Layer-2 network. All of this strengthens the broader narrative around Chainlink, suggesting that growing institutional interest and expanding cross-chain infrastructure could continue to support LINK’s momentum in the near term. Bullish outlook The big level to watch is $14.6. A clean break and hold above that line — with volume to back it up — could spark a run to $18.3 and maybe even $19.3. If that happens, Chainlink could easily rank among the top large-cap movers, helped along by potential GLNK…

LINK ETF Surges on $41M Debut as Nexchain Pushes Stage 29 Toward Completion

LINK ETF Surges on $41M Debut as Nexchain Pushes Stage 29 Toward Completion

The post LINK ETF Surges on $41M Debut as Nexchain Pushes Stage 29 Toward Completion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The launch of Grayscale’s Chainlink product pulled market attention back to institutional crypto this week, but early-stage investors are watching a different kind of momentum. Nexchain continues to move through Stage 29 of its crypto presale, gaining steady participation as users track activity across its AI-supported network. Both developments capture different sides of the market: LINK gaining visibility through traditional channels, and Nexchain drawing interest through a growing ecosystem that still sits at a fixed $0.116 presale price. With $12,304,033 raised so far, Nexchain is nearing the end of its Stage 29 allocation, keeping attention firmly on its next milestone. Chainlink ETF Records a Strong Opening Day Grayscale’s new Chainlink product, traded under the ticker GLNK, has delivered one of the strongest trading debuts among recent crypto-linked ETPs. The fund pulled in $41–42 million in first-day inflows, reaching $64 million in assets within hours. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart called the performance “a very good opening for a new launch,” noting that LINK’s inflows stood out despite broader market weakness. The ETF structure gives investors exposure to Chainlink without the need to hold the underlying asset. It also marks the first U.S. exchange-traded product tied to LINK, expanding access to a market segment focused on tokenization and oracle-based networks. The strong debut comes during a challenging month for the crypto market, which makes the early traction even more notable. Nexchain Growth Builds as the AI Network Handles Higher Activity While LINK gained attention through institutional channels, Nexchain continues its rise inside the crypto presale 2025 landscape. The project’s AI routing layer identifies the lightest path for each transaction, keeps average fees near $0.001, and predicts congestion before it forms. This technical structure has become a primary driver of interest in Nexchain, especially as more users interact with Testnet 2.0. Developers…

$14.6 Million in RWA Hacks This Year Reveals the Gap Between Tokenization Hype and Reality

$14.6 Million in RWA Hacks This Year Reveals the Gap Between Tokenization Hype and Reality

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization reached $35.68 billion in 2025, with projections to hit $2 trillion by 2028. But the rapid growth exposed critical vulnerabilities: $14.6 million was lost to hacks—more than double the previous year—with most exploits occurring in DeFi wrappers rather than the tokenized assets themselves. The GENIUS Act provided regulatory clarity for stablecoins but left gaps across the full asset lifecycle. Meanwhile, institutional giants like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and State Street are building on private blockchains, validating the market but creating interoperability challenges. Platforms like Mavryk (tokenizing $10B in luxury real estate), Ondo Finance (Treasury-backed tokens), and Securitize (infrastructure provider) are attempting to bridge institutional compliance with public blockchain efficiency.
