As DeFi grows beyond simple lending and trading, the infrastructure behind it is becoming much more important. A lot of protocols today still rely on separate systems for pricing, liquidation, and risk analysis, even though all three are directly connected during volatile market conditions. That separation creates inefficiencies, especially once protocols start handling more complex assets and larger credit markets.
What is RedStone Stack
RedStone Stack is a unified infrastructure layer that combines market data, liquidation intelligence, and credit risk analysis into a single coordinated system for DeFi.
The goal is not only to provide price feeds, but also to make the oracle layer more useful for how modern on-chain credit markets actually operate.
The stack brings together:
Deterministic market dataLiquidation intelligence through OEV captureReal-time credit risk analysis powered by Credora
Instead of treating each layer as a completely separate process.
Why this became necessary
In many DeFi protocols today, price updates, liquidation systems, and risk monitoring still operate independently from each other. During volatile conditions, this creates gaps between how quickly prices move, how efficiently liquidations happen, and how protocols evaluate risk exposure.
At the same time, liquidation value is often captured externally through MEV activity rather than benefiting the protocol itself.
As on-chain credit markets become larger, this fragmented structure becomes harder to scale efficiently.
How RedStone Stack approaches it
RedStone Stack is designed to make these layers work together inside the same infrastructure flow.
The pricing layer is designed for more complex assets such as LSTs, LRTs, and other yield-bearing collateral, where accurate and reliable market data becomes much more important. The liquidation layer uses RedStone Atom to capture Oracle Extractable Value through auction mechanisms, while Credora introduces dynamic credit risk ratings directly into the system.
Instead of functioning only as a passive oracle, the infrastructure is designed to help protocols react to changing market conditions more efficiently.
Already live in production
RedStone Stack is already live through integrations like Lotus and Real Finance.
Lotus became the first protocol integrated across the full RedStone Stack from genesis, combining RedStone price feeds, Atom-powered OEV capture, and Credora tranche-level risk ratings within one system.
Real Finance is also using RedStone Stack as infrastructure for pricing, reserve verification, and risk intelligence across its ecosystem.
Why this matters
As DeFi grows larger, protocols need more than just accurate price feeds. They also need infrastructure that can manage liquidation and risk efficiently, especially during volatile market conditions where everything moves quickly together.
When pricing, liquidation, and risk systems operate separately, delays and inefficiencies become much more noticeable. RedStone Stack focuses on making those layers work together more closely instead of operating independently from each other.

Real-time data sounds simple, but once you look closer, it’s actually one of the biggest limitations in DeFi today. A lot of systems still rely on fixed data feeds, and if the data you need isn’t available, you either wait or build around it. That might work for basic use cases, but it becomes a problem when you’re dealing with RWAs, perps, or anything that depends on accurate pricing.
What is RedStone Live
RedStone Live is a real-time market data streaming service that delivers price data for both crypto and traditional assets. It’s designed for products that need constant updates, like perpetual exchanges, liquidation systems, and risk models, where even small delays can have a real impact.
Unlike typical providers, it doesn’t rely on a fixed catalogue. The idea is to make data more flexible, so builders can actually get the feeds they need instead of adjusting their product to whatever is available.
What makes it different
Covers crypto, equities, commodities, FX, and indexes in one placeStreams data in real time via WebSocket or on-chain deliveryCustomizable feeds based on how your application worksNew assets can be added without long governance processes
Another detail that stands out is the 24/7 coverage. Traditional assets don’t stop trading completely, but most data providers go offline outside market hours. RedStone Live keeps data flowing by sourcing from perpetual markets, which makes it more consistent for on-chain use.
Why this matters
If you’re building in DeFi, the limitation is often not the idea, but the data. A lot of products never get built simply because the required feed doesn’t exist or isn’t reliable enough.
From what I see, RedStone Live is trying to remove that constraint. Instead of adapting to the data, it lets builders shape the data around their product, which feels like a more natural way to build financial systems on-chain.

RWAs have been getting a lot of attention lately. More assets are already on-chain, and a lot of people see them as a natural fit for DeFi because of the yield and the real-world backing behind them. But once you try to actually use them as collateral, it doesn’t always work as smoothly as expected.
The issue becomes clearer when you look at how DeFi handles risk.
Liquidations in DeFi need to happen fast. When a position becomes undercollateralized, protocols have to react quickly to stay solvent, sometimes within seconds. RWAs don’t work like that. Many of them come with redemption periods that can take 60 to 180 days, which creates a clear mismatch.
If you break it down simply:
DeFi expects fast liquidationRWAs take time to redeemThat gap makes them hard to use as collateral
RedStone Settle looks at this problem from the liquidation side. Instead of trying to speed up the asset itself, it changes what happens when a position needs to be closed.
When a position gets liquidated, it doesn’t rely on redeeming the asset immediately. The position is passed to solvers who compete to take it over. Once one steps in, the position is closed right away on-chain, while the actual asset redemption happens separately off-chain over time.
In simple terms:
Liquidation is triggered on-chainSolvers compete for the positionThe position gets closed instantlyRedemption happens in the background
This separation makes a big difference. It lets protocols handle risk the way they’re designed to, without being slowed down by how RWAs settle.
It’s already live in Symbiotic’s collateral markets, with mGLOBAL by Midas being the first asset using this setup.
If RWAs are going to be used more widely in DeFi, they need to fit into how these systems actually operate, especially when it comes to liquidation.
