We’re thrilled to introduce Pragma v.2 🧩
A transparent, permissionless, optimised oracle enabling developers to create custom feeds and access high-quality data across any chain
New daily transactions ATH for @PragmaOracle on @Starknet
What is Pragma Oracle:
Decentralized oracle infrastructure providing verifiable and composable data feeds using zk-proofs. Enabling developers to deploy optimized price feeds, computational feeds, and verifiable randomness for smart contracts and DeFi apps.
a new @StarknetEco map...
~220 projects across infra, DeFi, gaming, tooling, wallets, privacy, ...
hard not to be bullish when you see everything being built and knowing that avnu v2 is coming.
feel free to use & share this map! 🦅⚡️
ztarknear is built differently...
The Open Interoperability Framework.
Hyperlane is powerful in that it allows and encourages external developers to use, develop, and operate the network.
The team behind @PragmaOracle, completed the Hyperlane Starknet implementation.
Exploring the Symbiotic Ecosystem: Pragma
Every ecosystem needs good information to survive. Plants need sunlight to know when to grow, animals need signals to know when to move, and people need news to make decisions. Blockchains are no different. They are powerful systems that can run money, apps, and entire networks, but without good information from the outside world, they are limited.
This is where @PragmaOracle comes in. Pragma is a new kind of oracle infrastructure that brings reliable data into blockchains. Oracles act like bridges: they connect the blockchain world with real-world information such as prices, events, or other facts. But unlike traditional oracles that can sometimes be slow or untrustworthy, Pragma is designed to be fast, open, and verifiable.
What makes Pragma different?
Pragma focuses on three main qualities:
Verifiability – Pragma uses STARK proofs, a strong cryptographic tool, to show that the data it provides is correct. This makes it hard for anyone to cheat or manipulate the system.
Speed – Data is delivered with very low delay, around 200 milliseconds. This means trading, lending, and other apps can make decisions almost instantly.
Openness and Composability – Pragma is permissionless and open source. Any project can use it, and many protocols can share the same data feeds. This saves time, reduces duplication, and builds trust across the ecosystem.
Why Pragma matters
In decentralized finance (DeFi), price feeds are like lifelines. A lending app needs them to know if a loan should be liquidated. A stablecoin needs them to keep its peg. A derivatives exchange needs them to settle trades fairly. If price feeds are wrong, everything else breaks. By providing secure and fast data, Pragma helps DeFi protocols remain safe and efficient.
But its role goes beyond finance. With reliable data, blockchains can expand into areas like prediction markets, insurance, and gaming. Imagine a prediction market on sports scores, or an insurance app that pays out instantly after a weather event all powered by trusted data from Pragma.
How Pragma connects with Symbiotic and Catalysis
In the Symbiotic ecosystem, different modules work together like parts of a living system:
@symbioticfi provides shared security and staking, acting as the strong roots that protect the ecosystem.
Catalysis improves scalability and speed, like the sunlight that makes growth faster.
Pragma supplies data and truth, like the water that nourishes everything.
Together, they create a balanced and thriving environment. Symbiotic keeps the system safe, Catalysis makes it efficient, and Pragma ensures that every action is based on reliable information.
When these elements work together, builders in Web3 gain a solid foundation. They don’t need to waste energy creating their own oracles, security models, or scaling fixes. Instead, they can focus on building creative new applications, knowing that speed, safety, and truth are already covered.
In simple words: Pragma gives blockchains the knowledge they need, Symbiotic gives them the safety they need, and Catalysis gives them the speed they need. Together, they form an ecosystem that is stronger, smarter, and ready to grow.
b) Trade/ Exotic/ Commodities Focus
• @ostium: @arbitrum perp DEX that embraces RWAs (indices, FX, commodities and event markets). Dual-vault liquidity and an imbalance score keep spreads honest
• @qfex: 24/7 perps on US stocks, indices, FX, commodities
• Extended (fka X10): @Starknet-settled CLOB with orders such as TWAP, scaled ladders, OCO by default. @PragmaOracle (TradFi) + @StorkOracle (crypto) oracles, staged liqs, insurance, ADL
• @grvt_io: @zksync-stack exchange that combines CLOB perps with a privacy-preserving L2. The long game: options, spot, RWAs, unified margin; composable, but private by default
• @variational_io (Omni): RFQ, not order-book; vertically integrated market maker (OLP) quotes; zero trading fees; spread P&L flows to the OLP vault and depositors
Risks
• Regulatory relaxations: The arb window can close. Jurisdictions can blur the line between “DEX” and “venue”
• CEXes launching their own perp DEX: claw back market share from the current players while still contributing to the exchange’s bottom line
*Note: excluded the likes of dYdX, GMX and Orderly to focus on relatively new and upcoming Perp DEXes
📢 xSTRK & sSTRK feed update: We'll be deprecating the direct market feed due to limited source diversity and instability.
To ensure reliable data for your applications, users can migrate to our conversion rate mechanism instead.

4/ Forecasting and planning tools
We’re integrating forecasting powered by @PragmaOracle to help users simulate performance across vaults, bonds, and strategies.
No more guesswork. Numo will help users make informed decisions before allocating their BTC.
Transparency update: We've published a post-mortem on the Pragma publisher outage from last week
The issue was resolved quickly, all systems are stable, and no funds were ever at risk.
