RedStone API
Blockchain · Development Tools
RedStone is a modular oracle network designed to overcome the limitations of traditional push-based oracle models like Chainlink's Data Feeds. Instead of continuously updating prices on-chain regardless of whether anyone needs them (wasting gas on every update), RedStone introduces two delivery models: RedStone Core (calldata model) and RedStone Classic (push model).
RedStone API Highlights
RedStone API is verified for developer integrations in Nigeria and across African markets, providing documented endpoints, sandbox testing, and developer support.

Different RedStone API use cases
- Nigerian LST/LRT DeFi Protocol:Nigerian DeFi developers building yield protocols around liquid staking tokens (stETH, weETH, rsETH) can use RedStone's specialized LST and LRT feeds which correctly price yield-bearing tokens at their true value including accrued yield ensuring accurate collateral valuation.
- RWA Tokenization Platform for Nigerian Assets:Nigerian platforms tokenizing real-world assets (government bonds, real estate, commodities) can leverage RedStone's RWA price feeds to maintain accurate on-chain valuations for tokenized assets, enabling DeFi composability for Nigerian RWA-backed products.
- Long-tail Token DeFi Protocol for Nigerian Altcoin Markets:Nigerian DeFi protocols supporting emerging altcoins and tokens not listed on Chainlink or Pyth can use RedStone's 1000+ feeds which cover far more assets than competing oracles to build lending and trading protocols around the full breadth of the Nigerian crypto market.
