Chronicle Protocol is proud to announce the launch of support for zkSync. Scribe, blockchain’s first fully verifiable and cost-efficient Oracle, is live now on zkSync Era. Chronicle Protocol’s integration of zkSync unlocks decentralized, secure, and resilient price feeds for over 100 dApps already in the ecosystem.

Chronicle has launched on zkSync Era with its core Oracles, BTC/USD and ETH/USD, with more price feeds such as USDT/USD, USDC/USD, and WSTETH to follow.

“Together, Chronicle and zkSync combine the resilience of verifiable, gas-optimized, decentralized Oracles with the security and scalability of zk rollups, helping builders launch and serve their users on high integrity foundational infrastructure,” said Jennifer Senhaji, Head of BD & Growth at Chronicle.

Scribe tackles the underlying engineering problem behind the high cost of operating Oracles. The result is an Oracle that costs up to 6x less than Chainlink to update and 3.5x less than Pyth (on L1 and L2). This was achieved using Schnorr signatures – to read more about that, users can check out this research report by Token Terminal.

With Scribe’s arrival on zkSync Era, builders will immediately gain access to these huge cost-saving benefits without compromising on the security, resilience, or decentralization of the Oracle network.

Values aligned

Chronicle was the first Oracle on Ethereum back in 2017. It has long been a proponent of the “Ethereum approach”. Therefore, preserving its foundational values—freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization—values that both Chronicle and zkSync are built on—makes this integration a perfect fit in more ways than one. Chronicle is delighted to build together with those on the zkSync ecosystem.

The TL;DR on Scribe

Choosing an Oracle to secure a protocol and its TVL is the most important consideration of them all. With that in mind, Chronicle Protocol has prepared a short rundown of the questions every Oracle user should have definitive, verifiable answers to and how Scribe stacks up:

Where does the data come from?

Chronicle Scribe displays every data source in real-time and historically via The Chronicle, its on-chain dashboard. Users can pick an Oracle, choose a time and date on the graph, and click the drop-down arrow on any validator to see which exchanges were queried for the price data.

Oracle providers that use low volume and low liquidity exchanges or liquidity pools for data sources are the reason behind most DeFi protocol attacks. Every Oracle protocol should provide complete data source transparency to their users, and in a cryptographically verifiable way – not merely through words and images. Users are encouraged to seek verification rather than relyingsolely on trust.

How many validators or signers does the protocol have?

At Chronicle, protocol actors are referred to as validators. Other providers might call them signers or Oracles. These actors operate the nodes within the protocol that attest to the integrity of the reported data, such as the price of BTC/USD at a specific time.

This is how to establish truth in an Oracle network. Enough of these nodes must report back with the requested data to develop a consensus. However, if a bad actor can gain control of the majority of these nodes, they can manipulate the reported data. Therefore, the more validators or nodes an Oracle protocol has and the more distributed (or decentralized) they are, the more secure it is from being hacked.

Using The Chronicle, anyone can see who Chronicle Protocol’s validators are, which cryptocurrency pairs or Oracles they are sourcing data for, and when their reported data was last updated.

Scribe is the first Oracle design to pioneer the use of Schnorr signatures. This allows Chronicle Protocol to scale to an unlimited number of validators. No other Oracle protocol can achieve this as they all use an implementation of ECDSA that has a linear relationship between the number of validators and the cost of operating the Oracle.

Oracle networks constructed in this way must keep validator or signer numbers low to maintain a lower operating cost, sacrificing better security and decentralization.

Who are the protocol validators or signers

Knowing the identity of the validators is just as important as the total number. This is because an actor running a node can report any data they please. For example, they could have the node report that BTC is worth $10,000 when the market value is $40,000, creating an attack vector and draining the DeFi protocol the Oracle ‘secures.’

Therefore, decentralized and distributed nodes should be at the top of your Oracle provider shopping list unless you want your Oracle provider to have the power to drain your project. Right now, more than one Oracle provider runs all or the majority of its protocol’s nodes themselves, securing millions of dollars of TVL. Nothing stops them from draining your project if they get compromised. This is the risk of using a centralized Oracle.

At Chronicle, all of our validators are distributed and identifiable, and many are operated by well-known brands with a good reputation and track record—projects such as MakerDAO, Infura, Gnosis, Gitcoin, Etherscan, and DeFi Saver. Our goal is to create a validator community of some of the most used protocols in the space, creating a positive feedback loop of increasing security and decentralization.

What does it cost to operate the Oracles?

Oracles are very gas-hungry. For example, every time the BTC/USD Oracle (or Feed) updates to the latest price, this has a gas cost as it is required to post the result on-chain. Regardless of L1 or L2, the more updates, the more cost, and the Oracle provider shoulders that cost. Therefore, many Oracle providers look to update the data less frequently. This creates stale data and opens up opportunities for arbitrage, with both the Dapp and the user of the Dapp losing out.

With Scribe, we have tackled the underlying engineering problem behind the high cost of operating Oracles. The result is an Oracle that costs up to 6x less than Chainlink to update and 3.5x less than Pyth (on L1 and L2). This was achieved using Schnorr signatures – to read more about that, check out this research report by Token Terminal.

About Chronicle Protocol

With a history of innovation, including the invention of the first Oracle on Ethereum, Chronicle Protocol continues to redefine Oracle networks. A blockchain-agnostic protocol, Chronicle overcomes the current limitations of transferring data on-chain by developing the first truly scalable, cost-efficient, decentralized, and verifiable Oracles, rewriting the rulebook on data transparency and accessibility.

Radix, a full-stack solution for Web3 and DeFi, is being used to build a cutting-edge prototype for a blockchain-based system that reduces the carbon footprint of global tourism — after being identified as the only network with the infrastructure needed to make the project a success.

Researchers developing the Carbon Tokenomics Model, which was unveiled on stage at COP28 as a revolutionary approach to tackling climate change, tested multiple blockchains in their search for a platform that was scalable enough to cope with the demands of the multibillion-dollar travel industry.

High transaction fees and slow confirmation times meant many of the world’s best-known chains were deemed unsuitable by the Surrey Academy for Blockchain and Metaverse Applications (SABMA) — except Radix, which boasts a unique consensus mechanism that can accommodate billions of users.

Speaking on stage at ITB Berlin, the world’s largest tourism trade fair, Eduard Goean, Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey, said: “We are building a prototype to prove that what we are saying could become reality. In order to make this, we have a partnership with the only blockchain company that we think in this moment is suitable for the visitor economy and the tourism industry. Why Radix? Because we analyzed the atomic composability and scalability of the blockchain.”

Tourism currently accounts for about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions — equivalent to about 5.4 billion tonnes of CO2 — and there are fears that this figure could double by 2050 unless urgent action is taken. The goal of the Carbon Tokenomics Model is to help businesses and organizations across the visitor economy accurately measure their footprint, and take steps to mitigate it.

The efficiency of existing offsetting solutions has been difficult to assess, especially in the voluntary carbon market. Although such credits can enable businesses, including airlines to diminish the environmental impact of their operations, some schemes have faced criticism for over-representing the reduction of CO2 emissions they cause.

Full transparency on the blockchain has the potential to give the tourism and hospitality trade confidence that they’re making a difference — and having a positive environmental impact. Some of the research being carried out by the University of Surrey is being partly funded by the U.K. government through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, offering a vote of confidence into the importance and credibility of this project.

A detailed research paper on the mechanics of the Carbon Tokenomics Model is due to be published in the coming months, with Radix founder Dan Hughes now working with SABMA on bringing this concept to life.

Hughes said: “Radix’s Cerberus consensus mechanism followed eight years of hard work, and it’s now paying off. Our infrastructure is now being recognized in the business world as technologically superior to other blockchains — finally giving entrepreneurs the tools they need to bring ambitious ideas to market. I’m proud that Radix is playing its part in the battle against climate change, which is one of the most pressing issues our world faces right now. Our involvement with the Carbon Tokenomics Model and the future-forward team at SABMA shows the use cases for Radix extend far beyond DeFi and crypto.”

XION, the first blockchain purpose-built for mainstream adoption, today launched its user-friendly Chain Abstraction solution. XION’s Chain Abstraction combines XION’s ease-of-use with seamless composability of users, apps, and liquidity across connected blockchains, beginning today with Injective.

XION aims to make Web3 easier to navigate for all users by abstracting away its inherent complexities. Through familiar Web2 methods like email, users can seamlessly interact with XION applications across all devices, including desktop and mobile. Users can also enjoy a frictionless experience reminiscent of traditional Web2 platforms without the concerns associated with blockchain technology, such as gas fees. Today’s Chain Abstraction launch serves as an extension of these functionalities to other connected blockchain ecosystems.

“Just like the internet, users shouldn’t need to know which infrastructure applications they are using are built on. All that matters is that it works,” said Burnt Banksy, a core contributor to XION. He added, “We’re proud to launch Chain Abstraction as it vastly accelerates XION’s impact in making Web3 accessible to all users.”

Previously, cross-chain usability has been notoriously difficult for users to navigate and has resulted in fragmentation across ecosystems. However, with Chain Abstraction, XION aims to reshape the historically competitive nature of L1s – who typically fight for users, liquidity, and developers – to enable mainstream adoption. Through the inaugural integration with Injective, users can utilize Talis with their XION account, without needing to grapple with complexities such as cross-chain bridging, browser plugins, seed phrases, gas fees, and transaction signing.

XION will progressively roll out its user-friendly Chain Abstraction to many more ecosystems. Interested users can try XION’s Chain Abstraction on testnet today.
