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.

Clippers And Leonard Mess Is A Pandora’s Box For Pro Sports

Clippers And Leonard Mess Is A Pandora’s Box For Pro Sports

The post Clippers And Leonard Mess Is A Pandora’s Box For Pro Sports appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JULY 24: (L-R) President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank, head coach Doc Rivers, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and owner Steve Ballmer of the Los Angeles Clippers attend the Paul George and Kawhi Leonard introductory press conference at Green Meadows Recreation Center on July 24, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) Getty Images Pablo Torre reported Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer facilitated $28 million in ghost endorsements to two-time National Basketball Association Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, a seismic story for the NBA and professional sports at-large. Listening to his work, and having built and investigated financial compliance in sport for years, my immediate reaction was that this is opening pandora’s box. I encourage people to watch the video, but for those preferring to the written word, a breakdown of what exactly happened, why it matters and where gaps in the investigation still exist follows. Leonard, the Clippers and the NBA have not responded, and should be afforded the opportunity to do their own investigation. INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 24: Kawhi Leonard #2 of the Los Angeles Clippers reacts after defeating the Denver Nuggets in Game Three of the Western Conference First Round NBA Playoffs at Intuit Dome on April 24, 2025 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) Getty Images How The NBA Compensation Restrictions Work Player salaries in the NBA are not a free market; there is a Collective Bargaining Agreement with the National Basketball Player’s Association that governs compensation, colloquially called the salary cap. In essence, the money that players make for playing basketball is tabulated – by team – and restricted by a series of complex rules. Think of it like a spreadsheet, with players in one column, and dollars in another. Money from external sources, such as…

BullZilla Secures Its Spot in the Top Cryptos to Buy Now as Bonk Climbs and Chainlink Powers On

The post BullZilla Secures Its Spot in the Top Cryptos to Buy Now as Bonk Climbs and Chainlink Powers On appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News BullZilla, Bonk, and Chainlink shine as the top cryptos to buy now, combining presale strength, meme momentum, and DeFi infrastructure. The competition for the top cryptos to buy now is intensifying in 2025. Markets are no longer driven by hype alone; they reward structure, community strength, and proven mechanics. Against this backdrop, three projects stand out: BullZilla, Bonk, and Chainlink. BullZilla commands attention with its progressive presale, powerful tokenomics, and deflationary design. Bonk proves meme coins can mature into resilient ecosystems. Chainlink continues to cement its position as critical infrastructure for decentralized finance. Together, they reveal how presale innovation, cultural momentum, and utility-driven adoption are converging to create the next wave of high-potential tokens. BullZilla: Zilla DNA Powers Its Presale Momentum BullZilla ($BZIL) has surged ahead in Stage 1-C of its presale, already selling over 16.25 billion tokens and raising more than $119,711. With tokens priced at $0.00001908, early participants are securing their spots before prices climb higher. Zilla DNA: Tokenomics with Structure BullZilla’s ecosystem is built on a carefully planned allocation: Presale Engine (50% – 80B tokens): Designed to fuel initial growth with progressive pricing. HODL Furnace (20% – 32B tokens): Staking system delivering up to 70% APY, rewarding long-term holders. Treasury & Ecosystem (20% – 32B tokens): Funding development, marketing, and post-launch growth.

This allocation ensures balance: immediate adoption through presales, loyalty through staking, sustainability through treasury funding, and scarcity through burns. The Mutation Mechanism: A Presale Built for Urgency BullZilla’s presale is powered by its Mutation Mechanism, a progressive pricing engine. Each time the project raises $100,000, or every 48 hours without…

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano Founder Says Chainlink Quoted Them An ‘Absurd Price’, Here’s Why

Cardano’s founder, Charles Hoskinson, has clarified why the blockchain platform was excluded from a prominent US government initiative meant to publish official economic data on public blockchains. Blockchain networks like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Optimism made the cut; Cardano didn’t. Hoskinson revealed during a YouTube AMA that the reason wasn’t technical or regulatory, but it was grounded in economics. Specifically, he said the integration fee quoted by Oracle specialist Chainlink was absurd, which made Cardano’s participation really unfeasible. Chainlink’s Absurd Fee As one of the biggest blockchain ecosystems, Cardano’s inability to participate in the US government’s recent blockchain initiative to bring macroeconomic data onto the blockchain took many crypto participants by surprise. However, while speaking at a recent surprise AMA on his YouTube channel, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the reason boils down to money.  Related Reading: Is XRP Coming To Cardano? Founder Sparks Speculation After Midnight Airdrop According to Hoskinson, the main reason was due to its pending partnership with Chainlink’s oracle integration, which is yet to be finalised because of the absurd fee charged by Chainlink. Hoskinson did not shy away from strong language: “They gave us an absurd number for integration. I said ‘f– it, we’ll handle it. We’ll figure it out,'” he said. Despite the frustration, he tempered his critique with respect. He described Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov as “extremely smart” and “a very good businessman”, someone who “sees the future” and, in Hoskinson’s words, is “sitting on a golden egg”.  Chainlink’s oracle solutions are very important for connecting smart contracts to real-world data. As such, Hoskinson’s metaphor acknowledges Chainlink’s powerful position in the blockchain ecosystem.  How It Stalls Cardano’s DeFi Growth Without a cost-effective oracle integration, Cardano’s decentralized finance landscape has struggled to keep pace with other blockchain ecosystems. To put this into perspective, Ethereum’s integration with Chainlink has allowed large inflows into its DeFi ecosystem, with about $13.4 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) added from between August 2 ($78.222 billion) and August 31 ($91.595 billion), according to data from DeFiLlama. Related Reading: Cardano Price To Rise 300% To $4? Analyst Reveals When Meanwhile, Cardano’s TVL broke below $400 million in August, and daily active addresses have also fallen massively. At the time of writing, Cardano’s TVL is sitting at $367.91 million. The result is a disconnect between Cardano’s on-chain activity and ADA’s price action, which witnessed a steady increase in August alongside the rest of the crypto market. Nonetheless, Hoskinson is still optimistic. Talks with Chainlink are ongoing, and he’s determined to find common ground with Chainlink. He also revealed discussions with the team behind the USD1 stablecoin and hinted at potential collaboration with Aave, which he described as part of a bundle. If USD1 (already launched on Ethereum, BNB, and Tron) comes to Cardano, it could become the ecosystem’s largest stablecoin. Combine that with oracle access and lending support from Chainlink, and Cardano could strengthen its DeFi foundations significantly. At the time of writing, Cardano is trading at $0.8307, up by 1.1% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Lido debuts simplified Earn vaults with Veda and Mellow

Lido debuts simplified Earn vaults with Veda and Mellow

The post Lido debuts simplified Earn vaults with Veda and Mellow appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lido has launched Earn, a new tab on stake.lido.fi that surfaces curated strategy vaults aimed at making it easier, and comparatively safer, to put staked ether to work. The first listing, GG Vault (GGV) by Veda Labs, offers one-click access to “blue-chip” DeFi strategies using ETH, WETH, stETH, or wstETH. A second listing, the Decentralised Validator Vault (DVV) implemented by Mellow, is slated to go live in mid-September. Lido says vaults must clear the same security bar as its core protocol, according to Jakov Buratović at the Lido Ecosystem Foundation. “To appear in Lido Earn…all production contracts must be audited by reputable firms before listing, with any material findings addressed,” Buratović told Blockworks.  Live vaults maintain automated alerts to spot any issues, and “if necessary, onchain pause or kill mechanisms can be triggered to halt the vault operation,” he said. While the foundation works to minimize risk for depositors, Buratović notes, they disclaim any liability for potential losses. Fees are straightforward at launch. “Specifically for GGV, there is a 1% platform fee split between Veda and the Lido DAO, consistent with rates seen in other DeFi vaults,” Buratović said. On the UX side, users receive an ERC-20 deposit token which accrues value, similar to wstETH — the non-rebasing form of stETH which is widely used in DeFi. Withdrawals are made in wstETH and, for now, Lido is not optimizing for secondary markets of the vault tokens. The liquid staking provider currently has about $38 billion in ETH deposits, representing nearly 61% of staked ether, according to Blockworks Research’s latest data. Source: Blockworks Research The Mellow alternative The second strategy listed in Earn, DVV, is built on Mellow’s modular vault architecture and introduces a different approach — this time centered on validator decentralization. Each strategy is boxed into an isolated “Subvault,”…

CFTC grants Polymarket green light for US return through regulatory approval

CFTC grants Polymarket green light for US return through regulatory approval

The post CFTC grants Polymarket green light for US return through regulatory approval appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) granted regulatory approval for prediction market platform Polymarket to resume US operations through a no-action letter issued to QCX LLC on Sept. 3. The CFTC’s Division of Market Oversight and the Division of Clearing and Risk announced that they will not pursue enforcement action against QCX LLC or QC Clearing LLC regarding swap data reporting and record-keeping requirements for event contracts. Regulatory greenlight The letter applies only to narrow circumstances and mirrors similar regulatory relief granted to other designated contract markets. The approval enables Polymarket to operate event contracts while maintaining compliance with federal derivatives regulations through its QCX partnership structure. Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan celebrated the development on social media, crediting the Commission for “impressive work” and noting the process was completed in “record timing.” Coplan indicated US operations would launch soon, posting “stay tuned” to his announcement. The regulatory green light marks a return for Polymarket, which ceased US operations in 2022 following CFTC settlement over unregistered derivatives trading. The platform paid $1.4 million to resolve those charges and blocked American users from accessing its prediction markets. Polymarket accelerated its efforts for a US return in July, when the US Department of Justice and the CFTC concluded the probe into the prediction market. Less than a week later, Polymarket acquired QCX in a $112 million deal. On Aug. 26, Donald Trump Jr. joined Polymarket’s advisory board amid an undisclosed investment from its venture capital firm 1789 Capital.

volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion

volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion

The post volumes at 3,000 billion and market cap at 284.6 billion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. According to Artemis, in August the on-chain volumes of stablecoins approached ~3 trillion dollars (approximately +92% month over month), while the aggregated market capitalization reached 284.6 billion dollars, as reported by DeFiLlama. This acceleration indicates increasing liquidity, broader adoption, and a rapidly maturing ecosystem. It should be noted that the dynamic is not uniform across all networks, but the overall signal remains clear. A significant portion of the growth reflects both cross-chain arbitrage flows and an increase in operations related to payment services and derivatives markets. Industry analysts note that the market concentration on USDT (about 59% of the capitalization) has amplified the impact of supply and demand movements. Data and percentages refer to August; for real-time values, it is recommended to consult the mentioned dashboards. Trend of the total market cap of the stablecoin market. Source: DefiLlama In brief Market cap stablecoin: $284.6 billion, with an increase of approximately $17.5 billion over the month. On-chain volumes: ~$3,000 billion, +92% m/m. Number of transactions: ~1.2 billion, +16.9% m/m. Unique addresses: 41.7 million, approximately +25% m/m. Dominant networks: Ethereum and Tron remain the main liquidity hubs. Market Size and Dynamics of August The stablecoin market closed August at 284.6 billion dollars, an increase of about 17.5 billion compared to the beginning of the month. In parallel, on-chain volumes surged to ~3,000 billion, indicating intense usage across multiple use cases and networks. Consequently, the demand for on-chain dollars remained high despite the volatility of the broader crypto market. This trend is consistent with an expansion of supply and more widespread adoption in DeFi protocols and payments. In this context, operational use ranges from remittances and rapid settlement to liquidity strategies on AMM and derivatives markets.  Ethereum offers the greatest market depth, while Tron captures significant cross-border flows at low costs; at the…

Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption

Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption

The post Crypto needs more than launchpads for mass adoption appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the Empire newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Last week, I wrote about the three killer-est apps of the cycle: Polymarket, Hyperliquid, pump.fun. Notice that none of them is on Base. Base has now had two shots at facilitating a potential killer crypto app already this cycle: AI agent launchpad Virtuals Protocol, the “Wall Street for AI Agents,” and now social media platform Zora, with the latter seeing two decent runs in the past 18 months. Between December 2024 and January 2025 — peak Truth Terminal hype — Virtuals generated almost $11 million in net revenue, according to Blockworks Research data, during which time more than 13,000 different AI agents were tokenized.  Last month: $105,000 revenue; 151 agents launched, even after Virtuals expanded beyond Base to Solana earlier this year. Zora, which supports creator coins and turns every post into a tradable coin, has otherwise arrived at a key inflection point.  On one hand, August was a record month for Zora protocol revenue, reaching $1.3 million, and number of posts, with 1.1 million pieces of content tokenized. But on the weekly scale, revenue has fallen by more than half and stayed there for the past fortnight running, with only $20,000 per day a regular occurrence right now. The total number of posting accounts has also dropped to about 8,000 per day, down 60% from an August 14 peak of 21,000. Of course, it’s too early to call time on Zora, and maybe these ups and downs will become mere blips on the path to mass adoption by content creators and consumers. It’s more likely that both Zora and Virtuals have simply run headfirst into the same wall: There’s just not enough people in crypto who want to do more than trade on exchanges to consistently…
