RedStone is a quickly growing blockchain startup, building a new generation of Oracles which is a service bringing real-world data to blockchain-based protocols. The product launched in January 2023 and today our clients include some of the biggest names in the crypto space such as Pendle, Morpho, EtherFi, Ethena, Renzo, Venus, Frax and many more. Protocols chose us over the competitors because of our robust architecture that answers clients' needs.

The company is backed by some of the best Venture Capital funds in the space (Seed Round in August 2022, Series A in July 2024, see video), including Arrington Capital, Blockchain Capital, Distributed Global, Lemniscap or Coinbase Ventures as well as world-renowned Angels such as Stani Kulechov (Founder of Aave), Sandeep Nailwal (Co-Founder Polygon), Emin Gün Sirer (Co-Founder Avalanche), Alex Gluchovski (Co-Founder zkSync) and others.

“Oracles are a critical backbone of our decentralized future and will remain in the spotlight as applications become more intuitive and connected. We have been impressed by RedStone’s ability to push ahead web3 infrastructure when it comes to technical achievement, go-to-market and security. This is a team of builders who we believe will continue to lead in the oracle space,” said Michael Arrington, Founder of TechCrunch and our major investor.

We are well funded, already established our position on the market, now scaling the team with A-Players to become the leading cross-chain Oracle protocol in the blockchain ecosystem.
