RedStone (Modular oracle that ships new LST, LRT and RWA feeds faster than anyone) versus Chronicle (Gas-efficient, fully verifiable oracle born inside MakerDAO ) — how they differ on type, coverage and what they’re built for.
| RedStone | Chronicle | |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Push + Pull | Push |
| Update model | Pull-first modular design: data is signed off-chain and delivered on-demand, or pushed on a schedule — pick per use case. | Scribe: Schnorr signature aggregation decouples validator count from verification cost, so updates stay cheap as the validator set grows. |
| Chains | 100+ | Ethereum + L2s |
| Feeds | 1,000+ | 160+ |
| Security | Signed data packages verified on-chain; modular delivery across EVM and cross-chain. | Transparent validator set with cryptographic (Schnorr) aggregation; every update is independently verifiable. |
| TVS* | ~$3.6B | ~$7.5B |
| Token | RED | — |
| Best at | Yield-bearing collateral — the go-to oracle for liquid staking (LST) and liquid restaking (LRT) tokens | Lowest gas cost in the market (≈63% cheaper than Chainlink on Ethereum), with a strong RWA / institutional focus |
* Approximate total value secured — dated market snapshot (DefiLlama / provider reports, 2026).
Pick RedStone when yield-bearing collateral matters most; pick Chronicle when lowest gas cost in the market (≈63% cheaper than chainlink on ethereum), with a strong rwa / institutional focus matters more.
