If you've ever tried to swap one cryptocurrency for another, you know the feeling. A screen full of options you didn't ask for: gas fees, slippage tolerance, liquidity routes. Each one seems like a small decision that could cost you money if you get it wrong.

As season four of REACT staking draws to a close with the expiration of our 90 day staking pool we're announcing staking season five! Season five will operate in the same way as season four with a 30, 60 and 90 day pool available to REACT stakers. How

DIA price oracles will be integrated with Reactive Network on March 2, 2026. The integration introduces an on-chain price feed for REACT/USD, available on Base Mainnet and accessible to Reactive Contracts and other smart contracts. This integration provides a publicly accessible price reference for REACT that can be used
Fiet is integrating with Reactive Network to automate one of the hardest problems in DeFi for everyday traders: guaranteeing liquidity is settled promptly without sacrificing user experience. By deploying Reactive Contracts (RCs), Fiet will remove the need for traders to manually claim funds when liquidity that was temporarily unavailable, becomes
We recently took a look back at some of the utility introduced to Reactive Network so far in 2025, now it's time to look ahead. By 2026, Reactive Contracts are no longer an experiment. They are part of the baseline expectations for how on-chain systems behave. Contracts that
Reactive Network began with a simple observation: most smart contracts spend their lives waiting. They wait for users, bots, or keepers to notice something has changed and to push them into action. Reactive Contracts invert that relationship. They remain alert, notice changes on-chain as they happen, and respond automatically. In
Blockchain is reaching a tipping point. After years of experimentation, the first signs of institutional-grade infrastructure are beginning to emerge. Two markets stand out as the drivers of this shift: tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The challenge, however, is no longer raw throughput. The bottleneck is coordination.
For many users, liquidation doesn’t feel like a design flaw. It feels like a shock. A position rarely collapses out of nowhere. It weakens first. Health factor drops. Buffers thin out. Prices move against you. Then one transaction closes everything. That disconnect or sudden enforcement is what soft liquidation
The first phase of DeFi lending broke under speed: systems that assumed human attention and reaction time were overtaken by markets that moved faster than users could respond. The second broke under incentives: liquidation began rewarding those who could trigger and capture it, not those who reduced risk. As liquidation
DeFi promised a financial system that runs on code rather than intermediaries. Anyone could lend, borrow, and build positions without permission. That openness opened the door to rapid experimentation, but it also surfaced a risk that traditional finance hides behind desks and phone calls: liquidation. Liquidation isn’t a flaw.
By the time prediction markets moved on-chain, belief had become legible. Trust was minimized. Participation was permissionless. Prices updated continuously. Signals could be read by anyone, at any moment. But legibility is not agency. Markets could tell us what people believed while it still mattered, yet nothing on-chain responded to
Early prediction markets existed long before blockchains. They proved the core idea: markets can aggregate belief better than polls or pundits. But they were usually built as platforms, websites operated by a company, with rules enforced by databases and outcomes settled by administrators. Even when the economics were sound, participants

Most people share opinions about the future all the time. Prices will go up. A product will fail. A technology will win. An election will swing. These opinions show up in conversations, social media threads, and headlines. They are loud but cheap. Being wrong rarely costs anything. Yet real decisions

What happens when contracts that need to see everything meet technology designed to conceal nearly all information? Reactive Contracts aren’t simply idle until invoked. Instead, they observe the entire crypto ecosystem ready to spring into action the moment something interesting happens. It’s essentially giving your contracts a distributed
As of January 13, we’ve wrapped up all three Reactive bounty programs and what a run it’s been! Across these challenges, builders pushed Reactive Contracts in different directions, explored new automation patterns, and shipped a lot of genuinely impressive code. Today, we’re excited to share the two
Our third bounty has drawn to a close so it's now time to announce the winners of our second bounty! The results of judging for the third bounty will be announced in one week, on January 12. Second bounty winners There was a mismatch between the deadline time
