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.

Polymarket Partners With Chainlink To Boost Market Resolution Process

Polymarket Partners With Chainlink To Boost Market Resolution Process

The post Polymarket Partners With Chainlink To Boost Market Resolution Process appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto prediction platform Polymarket has partnered with Chainlink as it looks to enhance the accuracy of its prediction market resolutions. As part of the partnership, the prediction platform will integrate Chainlink’s data feeds, which will help speed up the resolution process. Polymarket To Integrate Chainlink’s Data Standard In a press release, Chainlink announced that Polymarket will integrate its standard into its resolution process. The partnership will initially focus on enhancing the accuracy and speed of asset pricing resolutions, with Chainlink’s oracle providing real-time data on crypto prices. There are also plans to expand into additional markets. This development comes as Polymarket reenters the U.S. market following a green light from the CFTC. Chainlink revealed that the prediction platform has already integrated its data standard on the Polygon mainnet. This will enable the creation of “secure, real-time prediction markets around asset pricing, including hundreds of live crypto trading pairs.” Beyond these deterministic markets, both firms are also exploring how they can expand the use of Chainlink’s oracles to settle prediction markets involving more subjective questions. Chainlink noted that the goal is to reduce reliance on social voting mechanisms and further minimize resolution risk. The Polymarket partnership represents another major win for Chainlink after the U.S. Commerce Department tapped the crypto project to roll out GDP data on the blockchain. Meanwhile, the crypto prediction platform also confirmed the partnership with Chainlink in an X post. It simply stated that, “15-minute crypto up/down polymarkets are here,” confirming what prediction market it will initially use the data feeds for. 15 minute crypto up/down polymarkets are here. https://t.co/TlxUfdlHAz — Polymarket (@Polymarket) September 12, 2025 How The Integration Will Work Chainlink will provide deterministic data inputs to resolve the Polymarket outcomes. The oracle platform stated that the integration will combine its Data Streams with Automation to…

Polymarket taps Chainlink for real-time market resolution

Polymarket taps Chainlink for real-time market resolution

The post Polymarket taps Chainlink for real-time market resolution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket has launched a new integration with Chainlink that upgrades how its prediction markets are priced and settled, according to a Sept. 12 statement shared with CryptoSlate. The rollout connects Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure to Polymarket’s platform on Polygon mainnet, giving traders access to faster, tamper-resistant data feeds and automated settlement tools. The system pairs Chainlink Data Streams, which deliver low-latency, timestamped market prices, with Chainlink Automation, which executes on-chain resolution at predetermined times. Together, the two features remove delays in verifying market outcomes and reduce the possibility of disputes. For users, this means price-based markets, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum forecasts, can close and settle almost instantly once conditions are met. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov said the integration turns speculative predictions into “reliable, real-time signals the world can trust,” highlighting the push to make markets depend on verifiable cryptographic truth rather than subjective decision-making. Addressing governance challenges The shift toward Chainlink’s oracle framework comes at a time when Polymarket faces mounting scrutiny over governance. 3 Seconds Now. Gains That Compound for Years. Act fast to join the 5-day Crypto Investor Blueprint and avoid the mistakes most investors make. Brought to you by CryptoSlate Nice 😎 Your first lesson is on the way. Please add [email protected] to your email whitelist. Polymarket has been criticized for its reliance on UMA’s optimistic oracle, where users can contest outcomes by staking bonds. While designed as a check-and-balance model, that model has been accused of leaving markets open to manipulation by larger stakeholders. Past controversies, including disputes over a Trump-related market, exposed how easily resolutions could be overturned. Such incidents raised questions about fairness and transparency, and fueled calls for a more objective settlement process. By adopting Chainlink’s deterministic oracle network, Polymarket seeks to address those concerns with cryptographic guarantees rather than community arbitration. Looking…

Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction & Analysis: This Crypto Alternative Is Preferred by Experts for 25x Returns

Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction & Analysis: This Crypto Alternative Is Preferred by Experts for 25x Returns

The post Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction & Analysis: This Crypto Alternative Is Preferred by Experts for 25x Returns appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. As Ripple’s XRP continues to struggle with price consolidation amid the ongoing market volatility, a new alternative is quietly gaining traction. Crypto investing experts are now keeping a keen eye on Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a fast-changing DeFi project that is performing well with its novel lending mechanism and enticingly high returns. This tiny altcoin, which is worth just $0.035, has been invested in by more than 16,220 investors. While the near-term future of XRP remains mired in regulation battles and overall sentiment in the markets, Mutuum Finance has emerged in the milieu of price prediction as the project with the most clearly delineated path to outsized returns, with some even estimating a 25x return on investment. XRP Price Prediction Snapshot Ripple (XRP) is at $2.97 with intraday movement of $2.94–$3.03. Ripple remains in a fragile consolidation area within the range of $2.80–$3.05, where a decisive move above $3.05 can unlock $3.40–$3.50 in the short term. Analysts anticipate that with increasing regulatory certainty and institutional inflows, particularly via ETFs, XRP will continue to spearhead gains into the $4–$8 range in later 2025. As XRP continues along this trajectory, investor attention is also on novel decentralized finance possibilities, including Mutuum Finance. Mutuum Finance Stage 6 FOMO Investors are presently purchasing MUTM tokens at $0.035 in Stage 6 presale. Holding on until Stage 7 will cost an additional 14.3% per token. The token has been amassed by over 16,220 investors thus far and has drawn over $15.6 million in funding, a clear indication of strong market demand and interest.  Price Discovery Real-time price data is needed to make borrowing, lending, and liquidation secure. Mutuum Finance uses chainlink oracles to feed the system with market prices in USD and native tokens such as ETH, MATIC, and AVAX. Fallback oracles, composite feed data, and time-weighted…

Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket

Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket

The post Larry Ellison became the world’s richest person — but not on Polymarket appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite received wisdom being that Elon Musk is the world’s wealthiest person, crypto traders are suddenly doubting his ability to hold onto his title. This week, Polymarket traders were placing bets at 96% odds that Musk would slip from top spot. Those same binary options were trading at 15% odds as recently as Tuesday. Meanwhile, on US-based Polymarket competitor Kalshi, similar options traded down from 91% to 64% within 36 hours. That dramatic move in betting for the world’s top billionaire follows a world record in Musk’s personal compensation. Specifically, on September 5, Tesla’s board of directors proposed $1 trillion in executive compensation for Musk — the largest proposed pay package in history by at least two orders of magnitude.  Just three business days later, however, betting odds for him losing his top spot spiked 540% on Polymarket. According to the fine print on Polymarket’s resolution metric for its binary options contract, the reference for Musk’s personal wealth is specifically Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index. On that webpage, the second wealthiest person is Oracle’s Larry Ellison. Kalshi, in contrast, uses Forbes’ estimates. $1 billion difference between world’s two richest men Interestingly, Bloomberg’s estimate of Ellison’s net worth had jumped by a massive $88.5 billion as of 7:28pm New York time yesterday. Screenshot of Bloomberg Billionaires Index at 7:28pm New York time on September 11, 2025. This screenshot of Bloomberg’s ranking shows Musk barely ahead of Ellison. Specifically, Bloomberg estimated Musk’s net worth at $384 billion and Ellison’s net worth at $383 billion. A rounding error could have easily displaced Musk from the top slot. Indeed, if someone was refreshing their browser consistently, it’s possible that the webpage displayed Ellison in the #1 spot at some point yesterday. Moreover, there are third–party reports that Ellison did surpass Musk as the world’s richest person…
