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.

US, China dispute rare earths remains unresolved despite key meetings

US, China dispute rare earths remains unresolved despite key meetings

The post US, China dispute rare earths remains unresolved despite key meetings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Representatives from the U.S. and China have held a series of meetings to discuss trade and security concerns. U.S. delegates met with Chinese leaders to discuss trade and security in the first U.S. House delegation to China since 2019.  The rare earths dispute between the United States and China remains unresolved, despite a series of high-level meetings in Beijing this week. Representative Adam Smith, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, confirmed that talks have not led to progress on the issue. U.S. and China fail to iron out rare earths dispute Smith is leading the first official U.S. House delegation to China since 2019. The visit included meetings with Premier Li Qiang and other senior officials. A major goal of the visit is to stabilize relations ahead of a potential meeting next month between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping in South Korea. At a press briefing on Tuesday, Smith acknowledged that no breakthrough on the dispute had been reached. “I don’t think we resolved the rare earth question. I think that still needs to be worked on,” he said. Back in June, China and the United States reached an agreement, under which Beijing committed to reviewing applications for exports of rare earth magnets. Few details of that deal have been disclosed, but Trade Representative Jamieson Greer recently said that rare earth shipments to the U.S. had “bounced back up significantly.” Meanwhile, European manufacturers have complained of shortages and have warned that supply constraints could disrupt production across several industries. Dialogue continues about trade, TikTok, and aircraft deals Beyond minerals, the delegation also discussed technology and trade. Smith was asked whether TikTok’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance Ltd., would maintain any role in the app’s U.S. algorithm under the pending arrangement. He described the matter as “not…

Inside the $100B deal between Altman’s OpenAI and Huang’s Nvidia

Inside the $100B deal between Altman’s OpenAI and Huang’s Nvidia

The post Inside the $100B deal between Altman’s OpenAI and Huang’s Nvidia appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Samuel Altman had a flight to catch. But before boarding to Texas, he had to lock in one of the biggest deals in AI history. Just hours before takeoff, Sam and Jensen Huang finalized a $100 billion agreement between OpenAI and Nvidia, a deal that would tie the two most important names in artificial intelligence tighter than ever. Sam was headed to Abilene, a small city 180 miles west of Dallas, to announce OpenAI’s next phase in AI infrastructure. Jensen wanted Nvidia to be at the center of it. The two CEOs had already spent time together during President Donald Trump’s recent visit to the U.K., where the president was quietly briefed about the deal in advance. What followed was a blur of virtual calls, private meetings in London, D.C., and San Francisco, and last-minute changes to documents. No banks. Just two power players doing it themselves. Sam and Jensen skip the banks and go all in Jensen called the deal “monumental in size” during an interview with CNBC on Monday. That same day, Nvidia’s market value surged by $170 billion, pushing the company near $4.5 trillion in worth. Sam’s OpenAI, now valued at $500 billion, becomes even more dependent on Nvidia’s chips. The plan is to work together to build massive AI data centers. Sam, speaking at Nvidia’s Silicon Valley HQ, said: “You should expect a lot from us in the coming months. There are three things that OpenAI has to do well: we have to do great AI research, we have to make these products people want to use, and we have to figure out how to do this unprecedented infrastructure challenge.” The structure is simple but huge. Nvidia will put in $10 billion at a time, supplying chips as new compute capacity goes live. Sam and Jensen…

Top Cryptos to Buy: Solana (SOL) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Named Top Picks, One Set for 5000% Rally

Top Cryptos to Buy: Solana (SOL) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Named Top Picks, One Set for 5000% Rally

The post Top Cryptos to Buy: Solana (SOL) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Named Top Picks, One Set for 5000% Rally appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana (SOL) remains one of the most popular altcoins, supported by strong network activity and increasing developer adoption. Its steady appreciation has kept its firm position as a top-tier crypto, but its larger market cap limits the potential for appreciation. Mutuum Finance (MUTM), meanwhile, is still in presale at just $0.035 and has already picked up steam with its DeFi lending-and-borrowing protocol. As per analysts, MUTM’s upside at the presale phase provides room for returns far in excess of Solana’s rally, with projections as much as 5,000% if adoption goes as planned. Solana Trades Near Support  Solana (SOL) is currently trading at $235.20, with support at the $230 level and resistance building around $250. Its network is still seeing strong developer activity, high throughput transactions, and increasing staking involvement, which are keeping investor interest intact. However, despite this momentum, upward movements above resistance levels have been succeeded by pullbacks, suggesting SOL may need further catalysts, such as major upgrades or institutional inflows, to sustain a rally. Compared to SOL’s current profile, investors believe that newer DeFi protocol Mutuum Finance, could have higher return potential when the next bull run starts in Q4 2025.  Breaking Records at an Early Stage Stage 6 presale of MUTM is undervalued at $0.035. More than 16,500 customers have bought tokens and the project has generated more than 16.2 million. This is a clear sign that market demand is increasing and also launch hype is increasing as well. Mutuum Finance is using Chainlink oracles on ETH, MATIC and AVAX token lending, borrowing and liquidity insurance premiums. Fallback oracle parameters, composite data feeds and decentralized exchange time-weighted averages are utilized with redundant security. For that purpose, the multi-step process will ensure that price data is normalized irrespective of the size of market conditions. This is one of…
