Redstone

RedStone

RedStone is a modular oracle delivering price data through three models: Pull (on-demand data in calldata), Push (classic Chainlink-compatible on-chain feeds), and RedStone X (frontrunning-protected delayed execution). It supports 1000+ data feeds across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Avalanche, BNB Chain, and other EVM chains.

What You Probably Got Wrong

• RedStone Pull model is NOT like Chainlink push model -- In RedStone Pull, price data is NOT stored on-chain. It arrives in the transaction calldata, injected by the frontend SDK (@redstone-finance/evm-connector). Your contract inherits RedstoneConsumerBase and extracts the price from calldata at execution time. If you try to read a storage slot for the price, you will get nothing. This is the core mental model shift.

• You must wrap transactions on the frontend -- The contract alone is not enough. The frontend must use WrapperBuilder from @redstone-finance/evm-connector to attach signed price data to every transaction that reads an oracle value. Without this wrapping step, the contract reverts with CalldataMustHaveValidPayload.

• getOracleNumericValueFromTxMsg returns a uint256 with 8 decimals -- RedStone prices use 8 decimal places by default. ETH at $3,000 returns 300000000000 (3000 * 10^8). This matches Chainlink USD feed conventions. Override getUniqueSignersThreshold() to set how many data providers must agree.

• Push model exists and IS Chainlink-compatible -- RedStone also offers classic push feeds that implement AggregatorV3Interface. These are drop-in replacements for Chainlink feeds. Use push when you need composability with existing Chainlink-consuming contracts. Use pull when you want cheaper gas and on-demand freshness.

• Data feed IDs are bytes32, not strings -- Feed identifiers like ETH, BTC, USDC are encoded as bytes32 using bytes32("ETH") in Solidity. The SDK handles string-to-bytes32 conversion automatically, but in Solidity you must use the bytes32 form.

• RedStone X is a two-phase commit, not a simple price read -- RedStone X protects against frontrunning by splitting execution into: (1) user submits intent, (2) keeper executes with delayed price data. The price used is from AFTER the intent was submitted, so the user cannot frontrun the oracle update.

• Timestamp validation is mandatory -- RedStone data packages include timestamps. The contract validates that package timestamps are within an acceptable range of block.timestamp. Override isTimestampValid(uint256) if you need custom staleness logic. Default allows 3 minutes of drift.

• Unique signers threshold must be >= 1 -- If getUniqueSignersThreshold() returns 0, the contract accepts unsigned data. Always return at least 1. Production deployments should use 3-5 for Byzantine fault tolerance.

Pull Model (EVM Connector)

The pull model is RedStone's primary innovation. Price data travels in transaction calldata instead of being stored on-chain, reducing gas costs and enabling on-demand price freshness.

Architecture

1. Data providers sign price packages off-chain and publish to the RedStone data distribution layer (DDN)
2. Frontend SDK fetches latest signed packages and appends them to transaction calldata
3. Smart contract inherits RedstoneConsumerBase, which extracts and validates the data from calldata
4. Contract calls getOracleNumericValueFromTxMsg(bytes32 dataFeedId) to get the price

Push Model (Classic Feeds)

RedStone Push feeds are Chainlink AggregatorV3Interface compatible. They use the PriceFeedWithRounds contract to store prices on-chain with regular updates. Use these when integrating with protocols that already consume Chainlink feeds.

Push Feed Addresses

Last verified: 2025-06-01

RedStone push feeds are deployed as proxies. The proxy address is stable; the underlying implementation is upgradeable.

RedStone X (Frontrunning Protection)

RedStone X prevents oracle frontrunning through a two-phase execution model. Users submit intents in phase 1, then keepers execute with price data from after the intent block in phase 2. This ensures users cannot exploit advance knowledge of price movements.

Two-Phase Architecture

1. Phase 1 -- Submit Intent: User calls submitIntent() which records the intent and the current block number
2. Phase 2 -- Execute: A keeper calls execute() with RedStone price data. The contract verifies the price data timestamp is after the intent's block timestamp

Data Packaging and Custom Feeds

RedStone data packages are signed payloads containing (dataFeedId, value, timestamp, signerAddress). Multiple packages are concatenated and appended to calldata.

Data Package Structure

Each data package contains:

• dataFeedId (bytes32): Identifier for the feed (e.g., bytes32("ETH"))
• value (uint256): Price value with 8 decimals
• timestamp (uint48): Unix timestamp in milliseconds
• signature (65 bytes): ECDSA signature from the data provider

Gas Comparison

Pull model trades slightly higher per-read gas for eliminating periodic on-chain update costs. For protocols that read prices infrequently, pull is significantly cheaper. For protocols that read prices many times between updates, push may be more efficient.

Security Considerations

Pull Model Security

1. Always set getUniqueSignersThreshold() >= 3 for production -- A single compromised signer can provide malicious prices if the threshold is 1. Byzantine fault tolerance requires n >= 3f + 1 where f is the number of faulty signers.

2. Validate price reasonableness -- RedStone validates signatures and timestamps, but not price sanity. Add upper/lower bounds for your expected price range, just as with Chainlink feeds.

3. Timestamp staleness -- Override isTimestampValid() with stricter bounds for time-sensitive operations (liquidations, swaps). The default 3-minute window is too loose for MEV-sensitive operations.

4. Calldata manipulation -- The calldata payload is cryptographically signed. Modifying any byte invalidates the signatures. However, a relayer could selectively choose WHICH valid data packages to include. Use a high signer threshold to mitigate selective inclusion attacks.

5. Frontend SDK version pinning -- Pin @redstone-finance/evm-connector to an exact version. A malicious or buggy update could alter calldata construction.

Push Model Security

Same considerations as Chainlink feeds: staleness checks, decimal normalization, L2 sequencer awareness. See the chainlink skill for detailed push feed security patterns.

RedStone X Security

1. Execution delay must be at least 1 block -- Same-block execution defeats the purpose of frontrunning protection. Some applications may require longer delays.

2. Intent expiry -- Add a maximum age for intents. Stale intents with outdated parameters should not be executable.

3. Keeper trust -- Keepers choose when to execute and which price data to attach. The contract should validate that the price data timestamp is strictly after the intent submission. Consider requiring the data to be from within a narrow window.
