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
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
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
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
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

We’re excited to roll out ReacDEFI v2, the latest version of the first app built on Reactive Network. This release brings a fresh new design, smoother flows, and ongoing on-chain automation improvements. ReacDEFI is built to take the hassle out of DeFi risk management. By pairing Reactive Contracts with
Starting today, U.S. customers of Coinbase and OKX will be able to purchase REACT directly inside their exchange interfaces, with every buy executed on-chain, against existing REACT liquidity pools. This is an access upgrade, not a native exchange orderbook. Both exchanges are expanding their on-chain asset purchase flow, meaning
Our second Reactive bounty has just concluded, so it's now time to announce the winners of our first Reactive bounty and to share details on the third Reactive bounty too! The task for the third bounty is described on DoraHacks, and we’ll also outline it briefly here.
Reactive Network is bringing the REACT token to Base, improving accessibility for holders and reducing the cost of trading and transferring REACT on-chain. This expansion does not introduce new protocol functionality, Reactive Contracts operate exactly as before. What changes is the user experience around interacting with the token. Why Base
When discussing block time, TPS, and finality, remember that none of these metrics exist in isolation. They interact, conflict, and force difficult choices. Every network is a bundle of tradeoffs, and understanding those tradeoffs helps make sense of why hundreds of different blockchains exist, each claiming to be better than
Another staking season is winding down. The 90-day pool unlocks at block 3,384,799 on December 7th, wrapping up a season where more than 121 million REACT were staked and participants earned an average 11.44% APY. Now it’s time to shift our gaze toward Season 4, which
The subscription model is standard in Web2, but reproducing it on-chain has been difficult. Traditional recurring payments depend on centralized processors and off-chain scheduling, none of which map cleanly to blockchain execution. NFT SUB addresses this by expressing subscriptions as verifiable on-chain events. Implemented as a TypeScript SDK, NFT SUB

You have just sold your car. The buyer hands you cash, you hand over the keys, and you both walk away. The transaction is done, irreversible and final. Now imagine they paid with a check instead. You deposit it, but there's a waiting period. The check might bounce.

Keeping Reactive Contracts (RCs) funded is a constant maintenance task. If a contract runs out of tokens, it stops executing. Thus, missed calls, stalled logic, and broken integrations follow. For developers working with RCs that fire on frequent events, this becomes a persistent operational load. Most builders end up watching

A popular restaurant on a Friday night. The kitchen can prepare 20 meals per hour. Everything works beautifully when 15 customers arrive. But when 50 people show up hungry, something has to give.

Every blockchain has a rhythm. Like a heartbeat, it pulses at regular intervals, and with each pulse, a new batch of transactions becomes part of the permanent record. The time between these pulses is what we call block time. If you've ever sent Bitcoin and watched your wallet

Blockchains operate in isolation. Conversely applications span multiple networks, assets circulate across ecosystems, and governance decisions ripple across domains. To coordinate this activity, developers turn to General Message Passing protocols (GMPs) — frameworks for transmitting arbitrary data between chains. GMPs go beyond token transfers. They can deliver structured instructions such as
