DeFi remains stagnant, while Oracles take the lead. As an intermediary layer between off-chain real-world assets and on-chain programmable finance, oracles occupy a superior position in the value chain. New generation DeFi platforms/protocols that integrate TradFi and Crypto, such as RWAfi, tokenized US stock trading, and tokenized trading of real-world derivative assets, all require technological updates from oracles to support them. Although many institutions and retail investors believe that oracle technology has already entered a mature stage of its lifecycle, making it difficult to see any exciting "disruptive" innovations and the exponential growth opportunities they might bring, this does not mean that the oracle sector has become stagnant. On the contrary, driven by new demands stimulated by the new generation of DeFi platforms/protocols, oracle sector projects are providing incremental new technological features. Everyone has shifted from competing on TVS (Total Value Secured) to TTV (Total Traded Value), and now to competing on LST, RWA, PerpDEX, tokenized US stocks, and other new scenario expansion capabilities; this sector has never been "cold." As a project that has always been unwilling to play second fiddle, RedStone has expanded from the LST scenario to Solana RWA in 2025, and then mid-year unveiled a major innovation: the lending enhancement engine RedStone Atom, equipped with liquidation intelligence. In my humble opinion, RedStone Atom is the MAX PRO version of the anti-OEV (oracle extractable value) functional module launched by competitors UMA and API3 in 2024. In traditional systems, liquidation is a multi-step process: oracle updates price → liquidation bot detects liquidatable positions → submits liquidation transaction → competitive priority fee → executes liquidation. In this process, a significant amount of value is captured by MEV bots, while also limiting the LTV threshold level for DeFi lending, thus affecting the capital efficiency of DeFi players' circular lending. For DeFi lending protocols, the main competitive trench lies in the LTV threshold and liquidation systems (liquidation efficiency, anti-OEV, etc.). According to Dune dashboard statistics, the total scale of OEV losses exceeds $2 billion, with OEV losses from AAVE v2 and v3 on the Ethereum mainnet alone potentially exceeding $300 million. In 2024, UMA and API3 introduced an auction mechanism inspired by Flashbot's anti-MEV mechanism. However, unfortunately, it has not been adopted by several DeFi lending protocols. The reason is not complex and is not significantly related to business operation levels. The problem lies in the generality of their OEV modules and the integration engineering costs. RedStone Atom combines the liquidation module with the OEV module into one, compressing the entire process into a single atomic transaction. Moreover, it supports activation on any RedStone data source and any chain without the need for code changes or engineering investment. After integrating RedStone Atom, the liquidation process for DeFi lending protocols will be reshaped as follows: Phase One: Off-chain price monitoring and auction initiation (<100ms) Off-chain price monitoring → Detect liquidatable positions → Trigger FastLane Atlas auction Phase Two: Millisecond-level sealed-window auction (<300ms) FastLane will bring the new RedStone price flow into the off-chain auction → Liquidators bid for liquidation rewards (sealed bidding) → Atlas smart contract collects and sorts all bids → Determine the highest bidder (on-chain verification) Phase Three: Atomic three-step execution (completed within a single block) When the auction generates valid bids, the Atlas smart contract will package the following three operations into a single atomic transaction: Operation 1: Push new signed oracle price → (within the same block) Operation 2: Execute liquidation → (within the same block) Operation 3: Transfer the winning amount to the designated recipient Atomic transactions ensure that these three operations are indivisible; either all succeed or all roll back, while eliminating front-running and arbitrage opportunities and achieving zero-delay liquidation. Given the lessons learned from the aforementioned oracle competitors, RedStone Atom has simplified the integration process for DeFi lending protocols: they only need to request RedStone to enable Atom on the data source they are using and provide an address to receive OEV profits; the remaining adaptation work will be completed by the RedStone development team. Currently, Atom has launched on Unichain, providing security for Compound Finance, Morpho, Venus Protocol, and Upshift, and can be integrated into BNB Chain, Base, and Berachain. In the future, it will be available on Ethereum, HyperEVM, Arbitrum, and more. The 2025 crypto market has overvalued attention, liquidity, and sentiment, while being overly insensitive to technological narratives. This period has been more challenging for teams with a technological gene than the 2022 bear market. However, long-term oriented developers represented by RedStone continue to insist on building something big. Hopefully, Mr. Market will have a reward prepared for them at some point in the future.
