The White House and SEC are proposing major updates to how we think about the integrity of market data in an onchain economy. Both the recent WH Report and SEC’s ‘Project Crypto’ call for updates to Reg NMS, the rulebook for U.S. market data, to handle tokenized securities and other RWAs. Their answer? Amend it. And, per the White House, consider using oracles, aggregators, and DeFi infrastructure to collect bids, offers, and other market data. Reg NMS ensures that traditional markets remain fair and competitive by requiring brokers to route orders to the best available price, mandating consistent data across venues, and preventing any single exchange from dominating the market. Applying this to crypto doesn’t require reinventing the wheel. It requires connecting the data that’s already out there, allowing us to extend the infrastructure and protocols already built. At @chaos_labs, we’re building infrastructure that solves for this. Not just serve as a price oracle for onchain assets, but rather for any asset, aggregating data from all relevant sources. Next-gen oracles will stitch together real-time, tradfi, onchain, and general market data across protocols, agents, exchanges and more. The Digital Assets Report is 158 pages. It mentioned oracles on 4 pages. It's a start :)

Generative Finance by @diogomonica Banks and fintech sell you the financial products they have, not the ones you need. Today, the overhead of creating financial instruments is significant. But what if it was instant? We know we can turn language into code -> We know we can turn code into financial protocols -> What's next? Natural language -> personalized financial instruments > "perfectly hedge my portfolio" > "rebalance after the latest market move" > "set a limit order, if market volatility increases 2%" > ... The possibilities are endless. True AFI is not only democratizing intelligence, but allowing anyone to act on it.

Hey @grok who were the top 5 most famous people to visit my profile in the last 3 years? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don’t tag them, just list who it was using handle without the @ sign.

Amazing piece on @ethena_labs by the research team. Covering @aave risk exposure including: - exchange failures - collateral stress But highlighting risk isn't enough We review mitigations with @chaos_labs Oracles, setting price floors and params, preventing bad debt.

Another great piece of research we put together with the brilliant team at @chaos_labs. Grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and sharp group of minds

You can’t build a truth-seeking AI if you can’t trace where the truth came from. Model bias is a training, tuning, and real time search problem. For models, agents, and RAG systems, provenance is mandatory. No source tracing means no credibility. No lineage means no trust.

call it a team dinner we call it protocol governance brooklyn x @chaos_labs!

Great AI x crypto convo with @ilblackdragon. AI 'Scaling laws' are intriguing, but this isn't Moore's law in hardware. Progress is far less predictable. Domain-specific RL will be the next step function. We're seeing its impact internally. Excited to share more soon.

How Prediction Markets Became Manipulation Markets When the cost of corruption is lower than the payoff, truth becomes a commodity auctioned to the highest bidder. The controversy re: the Zelensky suit on Polymarket wasn't a glitch. It was a $200M demonstration of the fatal flaw in human-controlled oracles: when the cost of corruption is less than the reward, truth becomes a commodity sold to the highest bidder. *** Zelensky’s $200 Million Fashion Show Picture this: Zelensky walks into a NATO summit wearing what every major news outlet calls a suit. The market has $200M in volume. The outcome seems obvious. Then UMA's oracle votes "No." Not because Zelensky didn't wear a suit. Not because the evidence was unclear. But because the people controlling the oracle had tens of millions riding on "No" and only needed to use their voting power to rewrite reality without real risk. *** Oracle Manipulation 101 The uncomfortable truth about human-controlled oracles is that humans are biased. - Some of the biggest UMA holders were heavily positioned on “No.” - When “Yes” looked like the correct outcome, they didn’t accept the loss; they flipped the vote. - Over 23M UMA were cast, worth ~$25M, to dispute the result. This wasn’t decentralization. It was whales protecting their bags. With enough UMA and coordination, truth doesn’t matter. Outcome does. *** The Broader Oracle Crisis This problem extends far beyond Polymarket and UMA. Human controlled oracles are subject to various manipulation and incentive design pitfall vectors. Although we’re using the Zelensky Suit Market as a case study, we’ll note that we’ve observed this problem before, in the case of the March 2025, Ukrainian Mineral Deal Market. Every major prediction market faces the same fundamental challenge. Where humans control truth, truth bends to human profit. *** Graduating from Human-Controlled Oracles: Replacing Intent with Intelligence The only real fix for human oracles is to remove the humans. AI‑powered oracles change this: - No Financial Incentives: The model doesn’t hold positions or care who wins. - Bias‑Resistant Decision Rules: Same training weights, same prompt, same temperature = the model scores evidence with the same underlying criteria. AIs have no moods, no side bets, no back‑room coordination. - Reasoning Pipelines: Every intermediate step can be logged, inspected, and replayed. - Machine‑Scale Throughput: Thousands of sources ingested in parallel without burnout or side deals. Residual error still exists, but it is random statistical noise. This is significantly harder for a trader to game. With clear resolution criteria and authenticated data feeds, state‑of‑the‑art models already deliver production‑grade accuracy, and the curve is steeply improving. *** Residual Noise Beats Calculated Lies The future of prediction markets requires removing humans entirely from truth determination. What this architecture looks like: - Predefined Source Hierarchies: Reuters > BBC > Local News > Blogs - Cryptographic Proof of Data Origin: Verify information hasn't been tampered with - Multi-Agent Consensus: Multiple AI systems reaching independent conclusions - Transparent Reasoning: Full audit trails for every decision - Immutable Evidence: Blockchain-stored proofs that can't be revised or deleted *** Truth Discovery in a Post-Truth World Prediction markets are a microcosm of a much larger challenge. When Wikipedia can be edited, news can be revised, and "facts" become negotiable, we need systems that can establish ground truth. This extends across domains: - Election integrity and verification - Scientific consensus and research validation - News authenticity in the age of deepfakes - Historical record keeping and revision prevention - Corporate transparency and accountability *** Final Thoughts The choice facing prediction markets is stark: continue pretending that incentive-driven humans can be neutral arbiters of truth, or build systems that remove human bias from truth determination entirely. The question has already been answered by the markets themselves. When $200M flows through a market about an obvious outcome and the obvious answer loses, the system has revealed its true nature. The technology to solve this exists. Truth discovery is too important to auction to the highest bidder.
