Oracle Solutions

Overview

The Block Scholes Oracle has been securing 50-80% of total options trading volume in DeFi since 2024 Q1. Our mission is to provide uncompromising crypto data wherever and whenever needed: institutional-grade price feeds, volatility surfaces, rate curves, and more, with unparalleled breadth & depth across the industry. Established oracle providers have historically focused exclusively on the simplest data primitive required by most any meaningful DeFi application: crypto price feeds.

This removed one core issue for builders, but left it for them to handle construction, security & delivery for any other more complex datatypes, required for use cases such as:

• On-Chain Fund Valuations

• Advanced On-Chain Risk-Management

• Margin Calculations & Liquidation Triggers

• Vault Trade Execution Signals

• Derivatives Pricing & Mark-to-Market

• Secure Contract Settlement

Push-Based Oracle

Quickest & simplest mode of access possible - data retrievable directly by any smart contract:

• Saves DeFi builders the need to scaffold & maintain the same costly infrastructure, otherwise duplicated by every new project

• Data is kept fresh for smart contracts to consume anytime, saving gas expenses for both users & builders, and enabling a frictionless experience

• Creators are freed to focus more on product and less on operations

• EVM-compatible, built with full flexibility in terms of data types: can support any data use case imaginable in DeFi and beyond

• Our smart contracts enable straightforward access in a couple lines of code. Read our integration guide.

Pull-Based Oracle

Blazing fast feeds, delivered off-chain & secured on-chain:

• Live pricing for any token or derivative at up to 200ms frequency

• Real-time greeks, implied volatility (IV) and interest rate ticks

• Updates packaged for highly cost-effective delivery in your smart contracts

• Secured via EIP-712 signatures and immutable off-chain subscriptions, eliminating potential for manipulation during transport or on-chain delivery

Live, delayed or historical access to the entire universe of crypto data for derivatives and

beyond. Review the documentation.
