RedStone Oracle

RedStone Oracle receives a C+ risk grade (41/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. RedStone is a technically sound oracle with growing ecosystem traction and a genuinely gas-efficient pull model. The main risk is the pull model's integration complexity creating misconfiguration vulnerabilities in downstream protocols. Strong infrastructure choice with appropriate auditing; risky when integrated carelessly. RedStone Oracle is a modular oracle infrastructure provider that uses a novel 'pull' model — instead of constantly pushing prices on-chain (like Chainlink), protocols embed RedStone price data directly in transaction calldata, reducing gas costs significantly. RedStone secures over $8B in TVL across 70+ blockchain networks, competing with Chainlink and Pyth in the oracle market. The pull model is innovative and gas-efficient, but shifts implementation responsibility to integrating protocols — a misconfigured integration can be exploited without RedStone itself being compromised.

The key risks identified for RedStone Oracle are: (1) Pull model requires correct protocol implementation — misconfigured integrations can be exploited (2) Oracle infrastructure securing $8B+ is an attractive target for sophisticated attackers (3) Data provider key compromise would affect all protocols using those feeds simultaneously (4) As secondary oracle to Chainlink, RedStone may be less battle-tested in crisis scenarios

RedStone Oracle scores 41/100 across eight risk dimensions: Mechanism Novelty: 7/15, Interaction Severity: 10/20, Oracle Surface: 9/10, Documentation Gaps: 3/10, Track Record: 5/15, Scale Exposure: 0/10, Regulatory Risk: 2/10, Vitality Risk: 5/10. The highest risk area is Oracle Surface at 9/10.

Among 68 rated DeFi protocols on Hindenrank, RedStone Oracle ranks #51 by safety (lowest risk score = safest). Its 41/100 risk score and C+ grade place it among the riskier DeFi protocols.

RedStone Oracle scores 5/15 on the Track Record risk dimension, indicating some history of security incidents or exploits. Higher scores reflect more severe or frequent incidents. Review the full risk report for details.
