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.

From XRP to Flare: Seasoned Enthusiast Shares What’s Next for Ecosystem

From XRP to Flare: Seasoned Enthusiast Shares What’s Next for Ecosystem

The post From XRP to Flare: Seasoned Enthusiast Shares What’s Next for Ecosystem appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Flare’s power is in community, infrastructure developer Tim Rowley says “FAssets are imminent” Tim Rowley, one of the earliest enthusiasts of the Flare (FLR) ecosystem, reflects on what makes the blockchain special and what might be next for Flare (FLR) and its adoption workloads. Flare’s power is in community, infrastructure developer Tim Rowley says Tim Rowley, an Australian blockchain educationist and passionate Flare (FLR) ecosystem contributor, shared a reflection on his journey in the ecosystem. He recalled the early days when he became involved because of his father participating in a Spark (the predecessor of FLR) airdrop to the holders of XRP. Image via X While Flare was still in its very nascent stage of an EVM blockchain, Rowley admitted that the passionate community was its strength from the very beginning. Then, he started learning the concept of FTSO, a Flare-specific design of blockchain oracles. Rowley launched FTSO.AU, the first Flare oracle infrastructure provider. Expanding his involvement with the ecosystem, Rowley contributed to Flare Metrics, a data tracker for Flare’s validators, and Flare Builders, a developer experience resource for Flare and its canary network Songbird. The primary motivation was bringing new community members to both ecosystems: This is the very reason we have Flare Metrics and Flare Builders. Our aim is to provide unbiased information such as network statistics and other projects among us that make Flare great. Instead of answering individual questions, we have put this information in a format that can reach a larger audience (this is also the same reason I started making YouTube videos, it’s easier to share a single video that answers the same question many have). Flare (FLR) is a unique Layer-1 blockchain focused on data-heavy use cases. It was introduced in late Q4, 2020, as a “utility fork” of XRP Ledger. “FAssets are…

TikTok’s Algorithm To Be Controlled By U.S., White House Says

TikTok’s Algorithm To Be Controlled By U.S., White House Says

The post TikTok’s Algorithm To Be Controlled By U.S., White House Says appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline TikTok’s algorithm and board of directors will be “controlled by America” as part of a deal reached with China earlier this week, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday, following earlier disputes from ByteDance, TikTok’s China-based parent firm. President Donald Trump signaled a deal to keep TikTok online in the U.S. was “approved” by China. Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved Key Facts Leavitt, in a Saturday morning appearance on Fox News, said six of the seven board seats for TikTok’s U.S. entity will be occupied by Americans, who will also oversee the platform’s algorithm. Leavitt said Oracle, the cloud computing firm headed by billionaire Larry Ellison, would lead TikTok’s “data and privacy,” after earlier reports suggested Oracle would be among an investing consortium with a controlling stake and control user data at its facilities in Texas. She also confirmed a deal was reached with Chinese officials to keep TikTok available in the U.S., after China’s foreign ministry did not explicitly confirm a deal was reached while President Donald Trump said Chinese President Xi Jinping gave “approval.” The deal is expected to be signed “in the coming days,” Leavitt said. What Has Bytedance Said About Tiktok’s Algorithm? ByteDance has repeatedly opposed separating from TikTok’s algorithm, arguing in court filings that control of the algorithm is necessary for the platform to function normally. ByteDance has claimed divesting from TikTok would “imperil the algorithm’s future functionality” and “fundamentally alter the content TikTok Inc. offers.” What Do We Know About The Tiktok Deal? Specifics of a deal reached between U.S. and Chinese trade representatives have not been publicly revealed. Jamieson Greer, the U.S. trade representative, said terms were “fair for the Chinese” and respected national security concerns in the U.S. China’s top trade negotiator, Li Chenggang, said in a…

US administration may earn billions in TikTok deal, says WSJ

US administration may earn billions in TikTok deal, says WSJ

The Donald Trump-led US government is about to cash in big from the long saga over TikTok’s American future.An exclusive report by The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that the Treasury is expecting a multibillion-dollar fee as part of the ownership shakeup designed to address years of security fears.Oracle, the cloud giant, along with private equity backers, is set to take control of TikTok’s US operations, including its data and the algorithm that decides what users see.ByteDance, TikTok’s Chinese parent, will stay on but with less power.Data security drives TikTok dealThis deal is the result of years of back-and-forth drama. American officials have long worried that TikTok, under ByteDance, might share sensitive user info with Beijing.They have considered banning the app outright, but instead settled on a plan that gives US regulators and investors a bigger say.Oracle’s role is central as the tech giant is expected to manage TikTok’s American data storage and watch over its recommendation engine. The idea is to keep everything “in the US” and under American eyes.The multi-billion-dollar fee could set a new precedent: governments asking foreign-owned tech companies not just to change hands but also to pay for the privilege of access.It’s a bold move that reflects a tougher stance on security without shutting the door on innovation.TikTok deal signals compromise approachTikTok isn’t just a social app; it’s a symbol of the tense tech fight between the US and China.With over 150 million American users, it has become part of the cultural fabric, but it has also triggered fears of Chinese influence and surveillance.This deal tries to split that difference. It’s a new kind of compromise where the app stays, but under a new kind of supervision.Leaders from both sides seem to support the deal, though it’s far from a done deal yet.President Donald Trump and China’s Xi Jinping have given it a tentative thumbs-up, seeing it as a way to ease trade tensions and prevent a messy ban.For ByteDance, it means scaling back control but staying in one of its biggest markets. For the US, it means more control and a hefty check.This fee also says a lot about how tech and geopolitics are tangled today. It’s no longer just about business; it’s about national security, trust, and power.How this new TikTok performs may well influence how the US deals with other Chinese tech players in the future.The big question now is, will the new setup win over American users and regulators? Oracle will have to deliver on promises to keep data safe and content free from foreign interference.If they do, this landmark deal could become a model for the digital age, where national interest and innovation have to find a new balance.The post US administration may earn billions in TikTok deal, says WSJ appeared first on Invezz

First-Ever XRP-Backed Stablecoin Kicks Off: Details

First-Ever XRP-Backed Stablecoin Kicks Off: Details

The post First-Ever XRP-Backed Stablecoin Kicks Off: Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP can now be easily collateralized to mint stablecoins on Flare Unlocking new opportunities for XRPFi Enosys, a leading blockchain research and development team on Flare Network, has just forked Ethereum’s DeFi protocol Liquity. The opportunity to pledge XRP as collateral while minting stablecoins is the core feature of the new service, Enosys Loans. XRP can now be easily collateralized to mint stablecoins on Flare According to an official statement by Enosys, a Web3 development team, it introduced Enosys Loans, a friendly fork of Ethereum’s DeFi Liquity. With Enosys Loans, holders of FXRP — an XRP-backed synthetic asset on Flare — will be able to collateralize their holdings to issue stablecoins. In the first releases, stablecoin minting will be available for FXRP and wFLR depositors with Staked XRP (stXRP) and FlareBTC (FBTC) services incoming. As a result, Enosys Loans paves the way for enhancing both XRP and BTC presence in the DeFi sphere. As explained by the team, the decision of the “friendly forking” of Liquity was made since its architecture proved reliable and flexible for CDP operations: Enosys Loans builds on the robust foundation of Liquity V2, a leading CDP protocol on Ethereum known for its efficiency, low fees, and user controlled interest rates. By forking Liquity V2, Enosys inherits its battle-tested mechanics while tailoring the protocol to Flare’s unique capabilities. To ensure a smooth minting process and fair pricing for collateralized value, Enosys Loans employs Flare Times Series Oracle (FTSO), an on-chain oracle design on Flare (FLR). To generate additional yield, all wFLR collateralized will be delegated on the owners’ behalf. Unlocking new opportunities for XRPFi Hugo Philion, a Flare Networks co-founder, is excited by the new instruments of XRP inclusion into yield designs of modern DeFi: Enosys’s friendly fork of Liquity V2 will allow you to mint…

Which Tokens Are Set to 15x by 2026? Here’s Where to Put Your Money

Which Tokens Are Set to 15x by 2026? Here’s Where to Put Your Money

The post Which Tokens Are Set to 15x by 2026? Here’s Where to Put Your Money appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Cardano (ADA) has amassed a devoted community over the years, with consistent ecosystem growth and a robust community backing it. However, when it comes to price appreciation potential leading into 2026, analysts are also highlighting new Mutuum Finance (MUTM).  Sold at the presale price of just $0.035, MUTM is a lending and borrowing protocol that will bring valuable utility to the DeFi market, which the majority of investors feel is the building block towards long-term adoption. The project has raised over $16.01 million and has over 16,410 token holders. While ADA may still be posting steady gains, Mutuum Finance is being positioned as the token that could potentially record a 15x return in the next cycle. Cardano Maintains Steady Growth  Cardano (ADA) is trading at $0.88, still above its recent support level of $0.80 as resistance trades around the $1.10 mark. It has shown stable ecosystem expansion, particularly in staking and governance, that continue to underpin investor sentiment. While general market expectations are that ADA has room to make substantial gains leading up to 2026, its larger market cap and relative maturity may put a ceiling on how fast it expands. Investors, on the other hand, are looking at Mutuum Finance, for more percentage upside in 2025. Understanding Mutuum Finance The protocol actively handles liquidity and volatility in such a manner that it can short illiquid positions on good terms. Risk exposure is zero, while liquidation points are radically minimal. It comes with stablecoins and ETH and other levels of LTV for risk assets collateralized by lower-risk assets. It also features a proportionally allocated reserve factor by asset class and one that optimizes the protocol reserve safety. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) presale is now ongoing. Stage 6 presale investors can buy MUTM for $0.035. Already, there are over 16,410 investors who…

XRP Ledger Prepares for Multi-Purpose Tokens Activation Amid Strong Ecosystem Growth

XRP Ledger Prepares for Multi-Purpose Tokens Activation Amid Strong Ecosystem Growth

MPT amendment activation on XRP Ledger promises streamlined token management. Enosys Loans allows XRP holders to mint stablecoins without selling. XRP ecosystem experiences strong growth with new accounts and futures volume. According to XRPScan, the “Multi-Purpose Tokens” (MPT) amendment on the XRP Ledger is approaching its activation date. The XLS-33 amendment, now in its final 14-day activation period, is set to officially take effect on October 1, 2025. After achieving majority support, this update promises to simplify token usage on the network, especially for common use cases such as stablecoins. The MPT is designed to simplify the token management process through the introduction of a new form of fungible token that does not have to be implemented in the same complex system. It proposes a unilateral relationship to be implemented instead of the two-way trust lines. MPTs will as well make it possible to store metadata directly on the XRP Ledger, which will guarantee the impossibility of any further changes once it is established. This step is contrary to the classical IOU system, which presupposes the bilateral debt relations. The MPT system will complement IOUs by making token interactions simple, which will enable two systems to interact within the XRP Ledger ecosystem.

Enosys Launches DeFi Protocol for XRP Holders In a significant move for decentralized finance (DeFi), Enosys has launched a new protocol, Enosys Loans, that allows XRP holders to mint stablecoins without the need to sell their assets. This new protocol on Flare called a collateralized debt position (CDP) is an active protocol on Flare that introduces new collateralized coins called FXRP, which is a wrapped version of XRP and can be borrowed by users as stablecoins. Enosys Loans empowers the owners of XRP to access liquidity without selling off their XRP. Along with this, the protocol will also have staked XRP (stXRP) in the future, expanding its functionality. The new development not only enhances the utility of XRP within the DeFi sphere but also brings it out of the traditional payment use. Under the decentralized oracles provided by Flare, the system will have proper maintenance of collateral values and stablecoins pegged to $1. XRP Ecosystem Shows Strong Growth The XRP ecosystem is showing significant signs of growth. XRPScan reports that nearly 4,000 new accounts were created in just one day, signaling increased activity. Moreover, the recent report issued by Coinbase reveals the good results of the XRP futures that have already achieved the volume of notional of $1.9 billion and 1.6 million contracts traded within only one month. This influx means that there is increased institutional and retail investor interest in XRP, which only deepens its market penetration in the digital asset market.
