RedStone Oracles completed a $15 million Series A funding round for its modular blockchain oracle solution, which has already attracted 100 clients.
RedStone, which calls itself the “fastest-growing modular oracle,” will use the newly raised funds to further expand its oracle products, which provide gas fee-optimized price feeds for all Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and rollup-as-a-service (RaaS) networks.
The funding round was led by Arrington Capital, with participation from other notable investment firms, such as Spartan, IOSG Ventures, SevenX, Amber, HTX Ventures and angel investors, including the founders of EtherFi and Berachain.

Arrington decided to invest in RedStone’s solution due to its advanced infrastructure, said Michael Arrington, the founder of Arrington Capital:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “We have been impressed by RedStone’s ability to push ahead web3 infrastructure in technical achievement, go-to-market, and security.&nbsp;This is a team of builders who we believe will continue to lead in the oracle space.”

Founded in 2021 during the Arweave incubation program, RedStone has received significant traction since its mainnet launch in January 2023. It has amassed over 100 clients and secured $4 billion in value.
The chain-agnostic solution supports over 60 blockchains, making it a good choice for projects building on emerging networks like zkSync Era, Linea, Mantle and Scroll.
RedStone aims to offer lower transaction costs (gas fees) than other oracle solutions, which can help decentralized applications (DApps) reduce unnecessary data and price feed-related costs.
RedStone avoids unnecessary gas fees by not pushing the same data to multiple chains.
