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.

Bug Bounty Dex223

Bug Bounty Dex223

A new player has appeared in the DeFi segment — Dex223. A DEX platform focused on the ERC-223 fungible token standard. The developers led by the anonymous security expert Dexaran are promoting ERC-223 as a safe replacement for ERC-20. It was recently announced that the DEX core is ready, with internal and external audits conducted. Dex223 announces the final stage before the official launch — the Bug Bounty program. Dex223 invites researchers, blockchain engineers, and dApp developers to contribute to the security of the platform by receiving rewards for discovered vulnerabilities and errors. Scope of Research Not all Dex223 modules are covered by the Bug Bounty program, only the core, ready to enter the market. What Bug Bounty participants can work on: Smart contracts: all Dex223 contracts in the Ethereum mainnet and test networks (Dex223-contracts). Web application: https://test-app.dex223.io. Exchange interface: https://test-app.dex223.io/en/swap. API: public and authenticated endpoints (including fiat money in/out). Infrastructure: cloud services and deployment pipelines. What is not included in the Bug Bounty scope: MarginModule — margin trading module. PriceOracle — price oracles required for margin trading. Known issues: Pool creation: Error when one token is ERC-20 Origin and the other is ERC-223 Origin with no existing ERC-20 wrapper. Auto-conversion: No auto-conversion of ERC-20 wrapper tokens to ERC-223 Origin in pools that have only ERC-20-side liquidity for an ERC-20/223 pair. Third-party services not owned by Dex223. DDoS attacks. Physical security assessment. Social engineering. A report can be submitted to the GitHub repository “dex223-bug-bounty”: Click New Issue. Choose a template: Bug Report, Feature Request, or Question. Fill in what you found, where it is, and how to reproduce it. Submit. Error Levels and Rewards Dex223 has differentiated 4 levels of problem severity and corresponding rewards: Critical — 30M D223. A vulnerability that can completely disrupt the workflow of contracts. High — 7M D223. A serious problem with serious consequences, but not affecting the entire platform. Medium — 3M D223. May lead to loss of funds under certain conditions. Information — 1M D223. Best practices, documentation improvements, low-impact issues. Rewards are paid primarily in the platform’s native token D223. But there are exceptions for the possibility of payment in another cryptocurrency or bank transfer. It is also worth noting that Dex223 is considering the possibility of long-term partnership within special programs. The detailed structure of rewards, payment periods, and conditions can be read on GitHub Bug Bounty. A Good Opportunity Not every day does a new player appear in the DeFi sector with innovations different from the existing market. Dex223 has two unique features: support for both ERC-223 and ERC-20 token standards; hybrid liquidity pools capable of operating without splitting into separate pools, which in itself positively affects the platform’s liquidity and slippage in trading operations. Dex223 also implements one of the safest types of margin trading — encapsulated. It is all the more interesting for researchers and dApp engineers to participate in Bug Bounty Dex223. In addition to financial benefits, there is an opportunity to work on ERC-223 and dApps based on it, thereby increasing one’s qualifications and gaining recognition in the community, and with the significant spread of ERC-223, possibly being among the first on the crest of the wave. Useful links: Problem report submission page “dex223-bug-bounty/issues”. Contact with developers: Telegram or Discord. Official blog of Dex223. Bug Bounty Dex223 was originally published in Coinmonks on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story

Prediction Market Kalshi to Expand Onchain Presence

Prediction Market Kalshi to Expand Onchain Presence

The post Prediction Market Kalshi to Expand Onchain Presence appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The controversial company has unveiled its new head of crypto, influencer John Wang. Prediction market Kalshi revealed its new head of crypto today, a trading and crypto influencer known as John Wang, who is tasked with “bringing new crypto markets to life, growing Kalshi’s builder ecosystem, and leading the push onchain,” according to an article Wang published on X. Prediction markets have been a hot sector in crypto over the last few months, with Wang leading the push on social media and spending the last few weeks bullposting prediction markets. In a particularly viral tweet on Aug. 18, he said, “Mark my words: prediction markets will be 10x bigger than memecoins.” Kalshi also recently expanded its sports betting markets through a new partnership with Robinhood. The activation enables National Football League (NFL) and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) American football betting markets on Robinhood, facilitated by Kalshi. Market leader Polymarket, on the other hand, announced a partnership with Elon Musk’s X in June, making the decentralized prediction market the official partner of X. Controversial Past Polymarket has been the crypto-native favorite among prediction markets since activity on the platform exploded leading up to the 2024 presidential election. It’s gearing up for an even bigger 2025, as Polymarket plots a return to the United States after acquiring a compliant platform through a $112 million deal in July. Part of the favoritism also lies in crypto-natives’ general disdain for Kalshi and some of the company’s previous tactics. Niko Kampouris, a social media specialist at Uniswap, called out Kalshi after the news broke today, saying, “Sorry, but Kalshi lost all respect after their coordinated polymarket propaganda tour during the election cycle. They tried destroying something that was built by one of our own. Don’t really care who they hire to help save face.…

Animoca Sees RWAs Becoming the Future of Finance

Animoca Sees RWAs Becoming the Future of Finance

The post Animoca Sees RWAs Becoming the Future of Finance appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Blockchain Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is only scratching the surface of its potential, according to a new research paper from Animoca Brands. The Web3 investment firm believes the sector could eventually grow to represent a significant slice of the $400 trillion traditional finance market. Trillions Still Untapped Researchers Andrew Ho and Ming Ruan highlighted that RWAs currently make up just $26 billion of the possible market, a fraction of the opportunity across private credit, government bonds, commodities, equities, and alternative funds. They described the current phase as an early-stage race, with asset managers rushing to build platforms that can manage the “full lifecycle” of tokenized products. “This is a strategic land grab,” the report noted, arguing that whoever gains control of end-to-end infrastructure will capture the most value as the sector matures. Momentum Builds to All-Time High Industry tracker RWA.xyz shows the tokenized market has reached $26.5 billion, the highest level to date and up 70% since January. That growth has been fueled largely by two categories — private credit and U.S. Treasurys — which together account for nearly 90% of current tokenized value. Animoca’s researchers said this growth reflects “clear momentum and rising institutional confidence” as more firms experiment with onchain versions of traditional instruments. Ethereum Leads, But Multichain Future Ahead Ethereum remains the dominant chain for RWA issuance, hosting 55% of all tokenized value, or roughly $156 billion when including stablecoins. Its advantage grows to 76% once layer-2 solutions like Arbitrum, Polygon, and ZKsync are factored in, thanks to its security and deep DeFi ecosystem. Still, Animoca expects a multichain reality. Purpose-built blockchains and high-throughput networks are starting to attract tokenization projects, with interoperability likely to determine long-term winners. Boost for ETH and LINK The growing focus on RWAs has also benefited Ethereum’s native token, ETH, which…

Price Falls Despite Major SBI Group Partnership

Price Falls Despite Major SBI Group Partnership

The post Price Falls Despite Major SBI Group Partnership appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Native token of oracle network Chainlink LINK$23.33 declined in tandem with the broader crypto market despite a fresh partnership with Japanese financial giant SBI Group. LINK declined to $24.4, down more than 6% over the past 24 hours, CoinDesk data shows. That’s a sharp reversal from the Friday’s year-to-date peak over $27. The downward trajectory accelerated through successive trading sessions with persistent lower peaks, whilst the concluding hour exhibited stagnation with negligible volume, suggesting potential consolidation, according to CoinDesk Research’s technical analysis model. On the news side, SBI Group, one of Japan’s largest financial conglomerates, said on Monday it has teamed up with Chainlink to develop tokenized assets and stablecoin solutions in Japan, with future plans to expand into other Asia-Pacific markets. SBI will use Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to support transactions across different blockchains while maintaining compliance. The firms will also test tokenized funds by bringing net asset value data on-chain and explore payment-versus-payment settlement for foreign exchange and cross-border transactions. Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve will be used to verify stablecoin reserves. SBI and Chainlink have previously collaborated under Singapore’s Project Guardian, a Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) initiative exploring blockchain use in finance. Technical Indicators Analysis Resistance established at $26.61 with sharp reversal upon elevated volume activity. Critical support emerged at $24.37 with purchasing interest. Extraordinary volume of 7,850,571 units during peak volatility, substantially exceeding 24-hour average of 2,687,393. Systematic lower peak formations indicating bearish momentum acceleration.
