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.

Horizen Launches Mainnet on Base: Privacy-First EVM-Native L3

Horizen Launches Mainnet on Base: Privacy-First EVM-Native L3

The post Horizen Launches Mainnet on Base: Privacy-First EVM-Native L3 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With deep roots in onchain privacy, Horizen has successfully migrated to Ethereum as a Layer-3 blockchain on Base for privacy-enabled and regulatory-ready applications. Horizen has officially launched its mainnet as an EVM-native rollup on Base, marking its full transition from an independent proof-of-work blockchain to a privacy application-focused chain within the Ethereum ecosystem. The move positions Horizen as a high-performance infrastructure layer where developers can deploy Solidity-based applications while tapping into Base’s liquidity, developer ecosystem, and compliance-forward approach. This milestone follows the July 2025 migration of ZEN, Horizen’s native token, from its original mainchain to Base as an ERC-20 asset. With its 21-million token cap preserved, ZEN now trades on decentralized exchanges such as Aerodrome and Uniswap, and legacy token holders can claim their migrated assets through Horizen’s dedicated portal. ZEN is currently available on Binance, Binance US, Coinbase, OKX, Bybit, Bitget & other major exchanges. Launch partners include leading ecosystem infrastructure providers that enable developers to build robust apps on Horizen from day one: Caldera for rollup-as-a-service, LayerZero for omnichain interoperability, Stork for low-latency oracle feeds, Den for multisig wallet support, and Goldsky for indexing and data streaming.  In July, Horizen introduced a five-year developer funding program in partnership with Thrive Protocol allocating 1 million ZEN tokens (roughly $8.8 million). to support builders creating privacy-first onchain applications. As Horizen opens for business on Base, the initial set of available applications include Hubz VCE and Gamblor, with a robust and steadily expanding pipeline of projects going live shortly after mainnet, including private DeFi and business applications such as privacy-preserving payroll, verifiable online advertising, and loyalty & user engagement. The shift to Base addresses a central challenge faced by many independent blockchains – limited liquidity and developer reach. As a Layer-3 blockchain, Horizen gains direct access to the EVM ecosystem and…

Vitalik Buterin Acknowledges Ethereum’s P2P Oversight as PeerDAS May Boost Network Resilience

Vitalik Buterin Acknowledges Ethereum’s P2P Oversight as PeerDAS May Boost Network Resilience

The post Vitalik Buterin Acknowledges Ethereum’s P2P Oversight as PeerDAS May Boost Network Resilience appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum’s PeerDAS upgrade, proposed by Vitalik Buterin, enhances peer-to-peer networking by improving data propagation speed, network resilience, and privacy after years of underemphasis on P2P layers. It enables faster block distribution and supports future scalability, while Buterin introduces on-chain gas futures to mitigate fee volatility. PeerDAS accelerates Ethereum’s block data sharing, reducing latency and bandwidth demands for nodes worldwide. Network resilience strengthens as nodes verify data availability without full downloads, minimizing synchronization issues. Privacy improves through data sampling techniques, with average gas fees holding at 0.474 gwei for transfers per Etherscan data. Discover how Ethereum’s PeerDAS boosts P2P speed and resilience, as Vitalik Buterin admits past oversights. Explore on-chain gas futures for stable fees—read now for key crypto insights and updates. (152 characters) What is Ethereum’s PeerDAS and How Does It Improve the Network? Ethereum’s PeerDAS is a peer-to-peer data availability sampling upgrade that enhances the network’s core infrastructure by speeding up block propagation and reducing resource demands on nodes. Introduced following years of limited focus on P2P layers, as acknowledged by co-founder Vitalik Buterin, PeerDAS allows nodes to sample and verify block data efficiently without downloading entire blocks. This innovation, credited to researchers like Raul V. within the Ethereum Foundation, integrates networking improvements with protocol design to support Ethereum’s ongoing scalability goals. How Does PeerDAS Address Past Shortcomings in Ethereum’s P2P Focus? PeerDAS tackles longstanding imbalances in Ethereum’s development priorities, where cryptoeconomics, consensus mechanisms, and block design overshadowed networking concerns. Buterin noted in a public post that internal discussions over several years highlighted this underemphasis, leading to slower data propagation and potential vulnerabilities. The upgrade employs data availability sampling, enabling nodes to confirm block completeness through small samples, which cuts bandwidth usage by up to 90 percent according to foundation researchers. This results in shorter data paths across the…

Chainlink LINK crypto Analysis: 3-scenario outlook now

Chainlink LINK crypto Analysis: 3-scenario outlook now

The post Chainlink LINK crypto Analysis: 3-scenario outlook now appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In a compressed volatility phase with sentiment stuck in Extreme Fear, Chainlink LINK crypto sits in a delicate balance between short-term stabilization and a structurally weak backdrop. Daily timeframe (D1): Structure still soft, short-term balance Trend structure – EMAs Price: $13.82EMA20: $13.71EMA50: $15.02EMA200: $17.32 Chainlink is trading just above its 20-day EMA but well below both the 50-day and 200-day. Short term, that says buyers have managed to stabilize price above immediate support, but the medium- and long-term trends remain decisively down. Human read: the market has stopped bleeding for now, but from a swing perspective, this is still a rally within a broader downtrend. Bulls are playing defense, not offense. Momentum – RSI RSI(14) D1: 49.0 RSI sitting almost exactly at mid-range confirms the neutrality: there is no clear momentum edge for either side. We are neither oversold nor overbought; price action is consolidative rather than impulsive. Human read: the market is catching its breath. Momentum neither supports an aggressive dip-buy nor a chase-long here. Direction will likely come from a break of range, not from current momentum. MACD – early stabilization, not a trend reversal MACD line: -0.26Signal line: -0.47Histogram: +0.22 MACD remains below zero, which is consistent with a prevailing bearish backdrop, but the line has crossed above its signal and the histogram is positive. That is a classic sign of downtrend losing pressure, not yet a sign of a new bull leg. Human read: sellers have lost the initiative, but buyers have not taken it over. It looks like bearing downtrend fatigue rather than a confirmed upside trend shift. Bollinger Bands – controlled volatility inside the upper half BB mid (20-day basis): $13.24Upper band: $14.59Lower band: $11.89Price: $13.82 Chainlink is trading slightly above the mid-band, roughly in the upper half of the recent volatility envelope, but…

Phillies Can Acquire $116 Million Bryson Stott Replacement ‘Without His Permission’

Phillies Can Acquire $116 Million Bryson Stott Replacement ‘Without His Permission’

The post Phillies Can Acquire $116 Million Bryson Stott Replacement ‘Without His Permission’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – MAY 29: Bryson Stott #5 of the Philadelphia Phillies looks on from the dugout prior to the start of the game against the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park on May 29, 2024 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) Getty Images The Philadelphia Phillies are under some pressure to make significant changes this winter, but there isn’t a lot of room for tweaks to their roster. The team seems likely to bring back both Kyle Schwarber and JT Realmuto, two veteran stars who would return alongside Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola to highlight an all too familiar personnel group. So, if the Phillies are determined to enter next season with a significantly different lineup, there are only a few players they can realistically replace. And that could be why they have been checking in on a superstar replacement for second baseman Bryson Stott. “The Philadelphia Phillies and the Toronto Blue Jays are two other teams that have been checking in on and showing interest in Ketel Marte,” Major League Baseball insider Francys Romero reported. Marte, who has played second base for the Arizona Diamondbacks at an All-Star level in three different seasons, is suddenly on the trade block after some reported tensions with teammates last season. And while he would be a much more expensive option than Stott, his six-year, $116 million contract is a relative bargain considering how much offense he produces. And, in corroborating Romero’s report about the Phillies’ interest, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi noted another key detail about his contract that the Phillies could be honing in on. “A Ketel Marte trade … is certainly possible as we begin these Winter Meetings because the interest in him is so robust,” Morosi said during a recent…
