RedStone: The oracle that decentralizes data in DeFi

Why has RedStone become a trend in 2025?

If you follow the DeFi ecosystem, you have recently heard of RedStone. It's no coincidence. This blockchain oracle came with a different proposal: instead of storing all data directly on the chain (expensive and slow), RedStone keeps it off-chain and brings it in when needed. This means faster transactions, lower costs, and, most importantly, enhanced security.

The interesting thing is that RedStone has already gone through several security audits (Halborn, CodeSpect, AuditOne, Cantina, PeckShield, and ABDK), which has given it enough credibility to be adopted by projects such as EtherFi, Ethena, Pendle, Solv, Venus, and Puffer since its launch in 2021.

How RedStone Changed the Oracle Game

Modular architecture is the key

The RedStone system does not function like traditional oracles. Its architecture separates data collection from delivery, allowing it to scale better. It gathers price information from multiple sources: cryptocurrency exchanges and other blockchains, processes it to ensure accuracy, and then makes it available for smart contracts.

All of this occurs on more than 70 blockchain networks and supports over 1,250 assets. Flexibility is its greatest strength.

The four data delivery models

RedStone does not offer a single way to access data. Instead, it provides options:

Pull: dApps bring data when they need it. It's cost-effective because it doesn't require continuous on-chain updates.

Push: RedStone constantly updates prices on the blockchain. Perfect for lending and trading platforms that require real-time information.

Model X: Adds additional security by preventing front-running attacks, ensuring that the price used in a transaction remains valid during its execution.

Hybrid (Push + Pull): Presented as part of ERC-7412, it combines both strategies. dApps obtain data on demand while accessing periodically updated information on-chain.

The Security Play: EigenLayer and AVS

In 2025, RedStone introduced an Actively Validated Service (AVS) using EigenLayer and its restaking mechanism. This integration is important because:

• A network of validators verifies the accuracy of the data before publishing it.
• Significantly increases the security of price feeds
• Reduce the risk of data manipulation
• Increases overall trust in the information provided

In addition, RedStone stores cryptographically signed records off-chain on Arweave (a decentralized storage network), ensuring that the data history is tamper-proof and verifiable.

Where is RedStone used in practice?

Loans and settlements

Lending platforms rely on accurate prices to set loan limits and avoid insolvencies. RedStone provides real-time data for fair conditions.

Perpetuals and futures

In perpetual futures markets, accuracy is critical. RedStone delivers updated market data to decentralized exchanges to execute correct liquidations.

Staking and yield farming

Staking and yield farming protocols require accurate feeds to calculate rewards. RedStone ensures that those calculations are based on reliable data.

Stablecoins and synthetic assets

Stablecoin projects require reliable exchange rates to maintain their parity. RedStone helps monitor real-world prices and preserve stability.

Multichain ecosystems

As RedStone operates on multiple blockchains, it is ideal for projects that run on different networks. Its flexible system facilitates integration for developers.

The RED token: Decentralization and rewards

RedStone (RED) is the native token designed to decentralize the oracle network and support its growth. Key metrics:

• Maximum supply: 1,000,000,000 RED
• Standard: ERC-20 on Ethereum, also available on Solana and Base via Wormhole
• Launch Availability: 30% of the supply

How staking works

Data providers and token holders stake their RED through EigenLayer's AVS. In return, they earn rewards in different cryptocurrencies: ETH, BTC, SOL, and USDC ( paid by users who trust the data ).

Supply Distribution

• 10%: First members of the community
• 10%: Development
• 20%: Team
• 28.3%: Data providers
• 31.7%: First investors

Gradual Lock: 70% of the tokens will be locked initially and will be gradually released over four years.

The security model chosen by RedStone

The platform has undergone thorough audits by specialized companies. This is not a minor detail in an ecosystem where data is money. Furthermore, the use of Arweave for decentralized record storage ensures that no one can manipulate the history.

Why RedStone Should Matter to You

RedStone represents an evolution in how the DeFi ecosystem manages critical data. Instead of relying on a single point of failure, it uses distributed validators, decentralized storage, and multiple delivery models. For developers and users, that means less risk, better performance, and lower costs.

The adoption by major projects since 2021 demonstrates that it is not just theory. It is infrastructure that is already functioning and evolving.
