Blockchain Oracles, Tokenized Finance & AI Agents: RedStone with Co-founder Marcin Kaźmierczak
Manage episode 516754169 series 2937596
What powers the fastest-growing blockchain oracle—and why is real-time, AI-ready data now mission-critical for DeFi? In this episode of The Index, host Alex Kehaya sits down with Marcin Kaźmierczak, Co-founder of RedStone, the fastest-growing oracle network in web3. Together, they unpack how RedStone is redefining what on-chain data can do—for DeFi protocols, institutional finance, and AI agents alike.
When a single bad tick can destroy an entire strategy, “good enough” data just won’t cut it. RedStone is building the next-gen oracle layer: low-latency, manipulation-resistant price feeds that move at Solana speed, span multiple chains, and empower everything from loans and perps to tokenized treasuries and real-world assets.
We explore RedStone’s acquisition of Credora, a DeFi ratings platform that turns protocol complexity into clean, institutional-grade risk signals. Because behind every juicy APR is a deeper truth—governance dynamics, multisig vulnerabilities, oracle exposure. Ratings help users choose risk on purpose, while giving institutions the audit-ready insights they need.
And as AI agents begin to analyze markets, make trades, and interact with smart contracts, verifiable data isn’t just helpful—it’s an AI safety layer. We dive into how RedStone’s architecture supports AI-native finance, from model training to real-time validation, all with MEV-aware design baked in.
Whether you’re building in DeFi, deploying capital, or experimenting with AI, this is a deep dive into the composable, verifiable, high-performance data layer powering the next era of web3.
