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.

Bitcoin Core Audit, Ethereum Upgrades

The post Bitcoin Core Audit, Ethereum Upgrades appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Developers, investors and regulators faced another dense month of protocol upgrades, security milestones and infrastructure launches in this November blockchain roundup. Bitcoin Core completes historic third-party security review Bitcoin development reached a major governance milestone as security firm Quarkslab, funded by Brink and coordinated by OSTIF, completed the first public third-party security audit in Bitcoin Core‘s history. The team invested 100 person-days, reviewing core modules including the P2P network, mempool, chain management and consensus. The audit reported no high-risk or medium-risk vulnerabilities, flagging only 2 low-risk issues and 13 improvement suggestions. Moreover, the exercise is being framed by contributors as a turning point that signals Bitcoin Core‘s transition into a more mature and formally governed development era. Ethereum protocol enters a new scaling and privacy phase The Ethereum roadmap advanced on several fronts. The long-awaited Fusaka upgrade completed its testnet phase successfully, with mainnet activation scheduled for 2025-12-03 21:49 UTC. In parallel, work continued on the Glamsterdam upgrade, which is expected to further reshape Ethereum’s consensus and execution layers. For Glamsterdam, EIP-7732 / ePBS has been confirmed as the core consensus-layer proposal, while EIP-7928 / Block-Level Access Lists will anchor the execution layer. However, the FOCIL anti-censorship transaction list will likely be postponed to the following Heka/Bogotá upgrade, pending a credible governance commitment. At Devcon, co-founder Vitalik Buterin unveiled the Kohaku privacy framework. This open-source project, driven by the Ethereum Foundation, aims to deliver modular on-chain privacy and security components. It already supports foundational modules compatible with Railgun and Privacy Pools, enabling wallets to offer opt-in default privacy modes and exploring future tools such as mixnets and ZK-enabled browsers. Ethereum’s account abstraction and chain abstraction teams also proposed an Ethereum Interoperability Layer (EIL). Built on ERC-4337, EIL is designed so that multiple L2 rollups feel like a single Ethereum chain.…

AI agents spend just $1.22 to shatter smart contract security exposing a terrifying economic reality

Anthropic’s Frontier Red Team spent the past year teaching AI agents to behave like professional DeFi attackers. The agents learned to fork blockchains, write exploit scripts, drain liquidity pools, and pocket the proceeds, all in Docker containers where no real funds were at risk. On Dec. 1, the team published results that should recalibrate how […] The post AI agents spend just $1.22 to shatter smart contract security exposing a terrifying economic reality appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Nvidia stock continues slide: is the AI darling’s moat drying up as competition intensifies?

Nvidia stock slipped on Wednesday as investors reacted to fresh competitive pressure from Amazon’s new Trainium 3 artificial intelligence chip, the latest sign that major cloud providers are accelerating efforts to develop their own AI silicon. At the time of publishing, the Nvidia stock was down 0.6% to trade at around $180.34.Amazon unveiled Trainium 3 on Tuesday, pitching it as a cost-efficient alternative for training and operating AI models. The company said the new chip can reduce AI training and inference costs by up to 50% compared with systems using equivalent GPUs — the category dominated by Nvidia.Amazon also said it plans to use Nvidia’s NVLink Fusion technology in its future AI computing infrastructure, integrating it with the forthcoming Trainium4 chip.“With Nvidia NVLink Fusion coming to AWS Trainium4, we’re unifying our scale-up architecture with AWS’s custom silicon to build a new generation of accelerated platforms,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said. “Together, NVIDIA and AWS are creating the compute fabric for the AI industrial revolution.”Nvidia stresses long-term demand despite competitive movesNvidia is working to reassure investors that it can maintain dominant market share even as Amazon, Google and other hyperscalers expand use of in-house silicon. The company’s neutral position in the market — as a supplier rather than a direct cloud-services competitor — remains a strategic advantage, as some technology giants may prefer not to depend heavily on rival hardware.Nvidia CFO Colette Kress said Tuesday that AI models trained on its new Blackwell chips will begin emerging in about six months. She noted the company has $500 billion in bookings for Blackwell and Rubin chips through 2026, excluding an upcoming deal with OpenAI that has yet to be finalised.Separately, European AI start-up Mistral said it trained its next-generation models on Nvidia hardware. The companies highlighted that Mistral’s Large 3 model achieved a tenfold performance improvement on Nvidia’s GB200 NV72 server racks compared with the previous H200 generation.Competition landscape starting to get intenseWhile Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s earlier adoption of more than 50,000 AMD chips signalled growing interest in non-Nvidia solutions, the competitive pressure now is coming most visibly from Amazon Web Services. With Trainium 3, AWS has taken a significant step toward deepening its in-house AI silicon strategy. The chip is said to offer four times the performance of its predecessor and reduces energy consumption by 40%, underscoring AWS’s ambition to optimise its data centres around its own hardware.Google, meanwhile, is extending more aggressive outreach for its Tensor Processing Units, promoting TPUs to major customers such as Meta. The push suggests Google is seeking to expand TPU adoption among hyperscalers that have traditionally relied on Nvidia GPUs.The combined efforts of Amazon, Google and AMD signal a broadening competitive landscape in the AI hardware sector. While Nvidia remains the clear leader, its largest customers are now among its most visible challengers — each moving to reduce reliance on external suppliers and expand control over their AI infrastructure.The post Nvidia stock continues slide: is the AI darling's moat drying up as competition intensifies? appeared first on Invezz

Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade lands today

The post Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade lands today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. Today markets leaned decisively risk-on, with crypto leading the move while traditional assets stayed muted. Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade arrived with PeerDAS, BPO hard forks, and the under-discussed EIP-7918, which together may finally restore deflationary pressure on ETH. On the thematic front, Sui is making an aggressive full-stack push into robotics, positioning onchain coordination, settlement and telemetry as critical primitives for a coming wave of real-world machines. Indices Markets leaned firmly risk-on, with crypto broadly outperforming traditional assets. BTC (+5.8%) sat mid-pack, while equities were muted. The S&P 500 (+0.3%) and Nasdaq 100 (+0.9%) barely budged. Gold (-0.3%) slipped, and crypto miners were the clear outlier to the downside (-8.7%), suggesting profit-taking and sensitivity to BTC’s consolidation. The crypto sector breadth was exceptionally strong. Oracles, lending and the broader Ethereum ecosystem led the board, signaling a clear rotation back into core infrastructure and high-utilization protocols. DeFi, Modular, the Solana ecosystem, and perps followed close behind with similarly solid showings, pointing to broad appetite for beta across liquid alt sectors. Lower down the stack, L2s, AI plays, launchpads and gaming tokens all moved higher, while more speculative areas like memes lagged. The only clear pockets of weakness were crypto equities and miners especially, which saw meaningful pullbacks. The move fits with improving sentiment as macro headwinds ease. Yields stabilized, liquidity indicators firmed, and positioning metrics suggest investors are adding risk after a muted stretch. Strong rebounds in infra sectors imply expectations for higher onchain activity and potential catalysts from upcoming protocol upgrades. Looking ahead, attention turns to macro prints later this week, which could test the durability of this risk-on tone. Volatility remains compressed, but with crypto sector dispersion widening, traders should expect sharper rotations as narratives evolve. Market…

USD softens as Trump signals Hassett for Fed Chair – Scotiabank

The post USD softens as Trump signals Hassett for Fed Chair – Scotiabank appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The US Dollar (USD) twitched nervously yesterday as President Trump referred to CEA head Hassett as the ‘potential’ Fed chair. This morning sees the USD broadly lower and the US yield curve a little steeper as markets mull the strengthening prospect of a Hassett-led Fed, Scotiabank’s Chief FX Strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret report. DXY pressured as yield advantage continues to shrink “Spot moves are not all that significant on the face of it; the Scandies and the pound lead gains on the session, rising between 0.5-0.6% but the DXY is pinned back to recent lows and looks prone to more losses. The DXY’s weighted yield spread over its major currency peers has been steadily shrinking in recent months while the index itself has rallied since September. The narrowing yield advantage adds to building bearish pressure on the USD.” “Asian and European stocks are mixed while US equity futures are higher on the session. Risk sentiment has steadied since the late November volatility in tech stocks but underlying worries persist. Oracle Corp’s credit default swaps continue to widen, reaching a little beyond the previous peak seen in 2022 (implying a cumulative 5Y probability of default of a little over 10%).” “On the charts, DXY losses have dumped the index back to the 99.0 support zone. This is the neckline trigger for a double top pattern that developed through November at 100.4. A break lower targets a drop to 97.6.” Source: https://www.fxstreet.com/news/usd-softens-as-trump-signals-hassett-for-fed-chair-scotiabank-202512031426

Apex Fusion Connects Three Blockchain Architectures: What This Means for DeFi's $100B Future

Apex Fusion deployed bAP3X on Base through Skyline's Blade EVM infrastructure, connecting its tri-chain architecture (UTXO-based Vector, EVM-compatible Nexus, and Prime coordinator) to Coinbase's Layer 2 network. The implementation uses LayerZero's OFT standard to enable cross-chain transfers between fundamentally different blockchain execution models. Liquidity pools launched on Aerodrome ($8B monthly volume) and QuickSwap with Merkl incentives. The deployment creates pathways between Cardano's UTXO ecosystem and Base's $3.2B TVL, addressing DeFi's fragmentation across 40+ incompatible networks. Success depends on whether Cardano and Base communities generate sustained cross-chain transaction volume rather than one-time bridge activity. FINMA-guided token structure provides regulatory clarity but introduces complexity that may limit retail adoption. The infrastructure enables DeFi's potential return beyond $100B TVL through reunified liquidity, but market demand for cross-architecture interoperability remains unproven.
