🔺🔻🎆 What are the benefits of using Redstone oracles on #Rootstock?

🔺RedStone oracles provide Rootstock Builders with the Data Feeds for +1100 assets 🙌

Including prices for cryptocurrency, stocks, commodities, on-chain reputation, and more 💪

🔮Unlike most current blockchain oracles, the data RedStone delivers to Rootstock dApps and smart contracts is frequently updated, ultra-reliable and diverse.

🔧 Builders can also use the RedStone Custom URL feature to plug in any API and use the data in their Rootstock Smart Contacts instantly.

🌊🔺Redstone's scalable, versatile, and cost-efficient oracle model, combined with the security and robustness of #Bitcoin through Rootstock’s infrastructure acts as the cornerstone for a new wave of data-powered decentralized applications 💪
