RedStone Brings TradFi to Solana

RedStone Bridges TradFi and DeFi on Solana

RedStone, a blockchain oracle provider, has partnered with Securitize to integrate tokenized traditional financial assets (TradFi) onto the Solana blockchain. This collaboration, announced earlier this year, significantly expands the capabilities of Solana's decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Key Developments

• Enhanced RWA Accessibility: Solana developers now have access to price feeds for both traditional and crypto assets via Wormhole Queries, enabling the integration of real-world assets (RWAs) into decentralized applications (dApps).
• Composability of RWAs: This integration moves beyond simple tokenization, enabling active use of RWAs within DeFi protocols, creating new use cases that bridge TradFi and on-chain systems.
• Partnership with Securitize: Securitize, managing over $3.6 billion in tokenized assets and partnering with major firms like Apollo and BlackRock, selected RedStone as its oracle provider.
• Real-World Examples: RWAs like Apollo's $ACRED and BlackRock's $BUIDL can now be incorporated into dApps on Solana.
• Cross-Chain Capabilities: RedStone's oracle services extend beyond Solana, offering cross-chain functionality with Ethereum, Avalanche, and Polygon.
• Early Success: RedStone's $ACRED feed successfully integrated into a Morpho vault on Polygon, demonstrating the practical application of this technology.

According to RedStone co-founder Marcin Kazmierczak, this marks a foundational shift in RWA utilization on Solana, facilitating composability and unlocking use cases that merge traditional and on-chain finance. Securitize's Head of Credit and DeFi, Reid Simon, highlighted the integration as a crucial step in breaking down barriers between TradFi and DeFi, providing global institutions with tools for seamless cross-chain transactions.

Note: Codeum, a blockchain security and development platform, offers services such as smart contract audits, KYC verification, custom smart contract and DApp development, tokenomics and security consultation, and partnerships with launchpads and crypto agencies. While not directly involved in this specific partnership, Codeum’s expertise is highly relevant for projects seeking secure and compliant integration of TradFi assets onto blockchain platforms like Solana.
