Gora the multi-chain oracle network built on Algorand, and RociFi, the leading credit score oracle protocol on EVM, are excited to announce its groundbreaking merger. This collaboration marks a significant turning point for Gora Network, unlocking new possibilities and solidifying its position within the DeFi landscape.
For over seven months, RociFi has been instrumental in providing on-chain credit scores for EVM wallets on Algorand through Gora’s network. This successful partnership now paves the way for even greater advancements. Through this period of collaboration, both oracle solutions have identified a path for synergy. Gora and RociFi recognize that by combining their strengths, they can create a more impactful and robust project.
The resulting force unlocks a new wave of use cases within DeFi by offering, among other services:
- Reliable Collateral Price Feeds: Gora’s oracle ensures performant price feeds, even for longtail tokens, crucial for calculating loan-to-value ratios and health factors.
- Wallet-Level Credit Data: RociFi’s expertise in credit scoring equips the Risk Oracle with the ability to assess creditworthiness on an individual wallet basis, further enhancing risk assessment capabilities.
