Together with eOracle
THE ETHEREUM ORACLE
Every year, billions of dollars are being lost due to crypto hacks.
Fortunately, there’s a project that aims to offer a solution to oracle-related hacks.
The project I’m talking about is eOracle - a next-gen modular oracle network that is directly secured by Ethereum validators
An oracle is a service that enables the integration of real-world data (e.g. the weather in a certain place or the price of something) into smart contract apps.
What makes eOracle stand out? Well, there are several things:
Secured by Ethereum - The protocol is secured by over $5.5B worth of restaked ETH through Eigenlayer
Permissionless Innovation - eOracle creates a competitive marketplace where anyone can provide or consume data directly, allowing next-gen dapps to request and acquire customised data
Permissionless One-day Integration - Any decentralized application on any blockchain can access and use eOracle data
Currently, some of the most popular oracle services act as middlemen that decide on cost, supply, and the variety of data.
In contrast, Oracle enables its validators & dApps to interact directly in a free market.
This leads to creating both cheaper and more cost-effective data.

This Week’s Airdrop Opportunity🪂
Stake wETH in EtherFi’s Symbiotic Restaking Vault
Symbiotic is the largest Eigenlayer competitor and is backed by Lido Co-Founders.
To farm its airdrop, you can go to EtherFi, select Symbiotic Restaking, and stake wETH or another accepted token in exchange for weETHs.
By staking wETH into EtherFi’s Symbiotic Restaking Vault, you’ll earn:
1x Symbiotic points
3x EtherFi points
3x Veda points
2.8% APY rewards
You’ll basically be able to farm 3 airdrops at once in this way.
If you don’t have wETH on Ethereum L1, you can go to Uniswap and exchange ETH for wETH at a 1:1 rate.
