Google Cloud oracle has been launched on LayerZero
Google Cloud Oracle has been launched on LayerZero. Google Cloud Oracle is a dedicated validator that is now available for all LayerZero applications and will be configured as the default on September 19th. This means that every message in LayerZero will utilize the secure infrastructure operated by one of the world's most security-conscious organizations by default. Google Cloud will verify the validity of every message in LayerZero by default. Google Cloud Oracle is designed to act as the HTTPS for cross-chain message transmission. Just as they verify all HTTPS certificates to prove the validity of websites, Google Cloud Oracle will now verify all LayerZero messages by default. Like everything in LayerZero, the best security is modular security, so it can naturally be used in conjunction with other validators such as PolyhedraZK to build the security stack that best suits your application needs.
Coinbase CEO: "flatcoins" are the next generation of stablecoins
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes that "flatcoins" (stablecoins that track inflation rates) are the next generation of stablecoins. Armstrong recently stated that "this is a new thing that is about to emerge, and there are several teams studying this issue. We haven't established anything in this area yet, but we are very interested in it." The design purpose of "flatcoins" is to remain consistent with inflation, rather than being pegged to a currency or asset. Some people believe that by tracking inflation, flatcoins can provide better value preservation than stablecoins, thus providing better investment returns.
