We are introducing the Intelligent Oracle, a new class of AI-powered Oracle capable of fetching any data from the internet and putting it on-chain to enable decentralized prediction markets, insurances, perpetuals without limits and many more use cases. Intelligent Oracle is the first product based on Intelligent Contracts, powered by the first Intelligent Blockchain: GenLayer. Radix DLT, Etherisc, PredX, Delphi Bets and Provably are the first partners to use GenLayer’s Intelligent Oracle solution.
The Intelligent Oracle is powered by Large Language Models (LLMs), integrated directly into GenLayer’s Optimistic Democracy consensus mechanism. Validators connect to LLMs, enabling the network to process non-deterministic transactions by fetching data from the Internet. When a query is made, a lead validator generates a proposed result using an LLM, while other validators independently verify this output against the pre-set equivalence criteria. Optimistic Democracy ensures all decisions are accurate, reliable, and secure.
The Oracle operates seamlessly within the GenLayer blockchain, delivering decentralized, transparent data access while supporting cross-chain compatibility. The Intelligent Oracle will first be hosted on a permissioned local network while preparing for the GenLayer Testnet towards the end of the year.

Current dApps are hungry for real-world data, but they can’t access it due to their limitation to on-chain information. Prediction markets, insurance claims, and financial derivatives require immediate, accurate, and sometimes subjective data from the Internet. Traditional Oracle solutions are inadequate—they rely on pre-defined datasets or manual intervention, which makes them slow, costly, and inflexible.
Platforms like UMA and Chainlink have attempted to address these limitations but fall short in key areas. For example, Polymarket, the largest decentralized prediction market, faces systemic issues: vague or poorly defined specifications lead to disputes, while UMA, used as the resolution oracle, imposes significant costs and delays. Resolving disputes can take up to 98 hours, with costs reaching $4,200 to $104,000 per market, depending on volume. Chainlink, constitutes a decentralized solution but struggles with real-time, arbitrary data fetching.
Prediction markets: Valued at $35 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $67 billion by 2028, prediction markets depend on accurate, timely data. Platforms like Polymarket, which hit $500 million in monthly volume in September, still struggle without reliable real-time data. GenLayer’s Intelligent Oracle automates market resolutions by scraping trusted web sources and defining specifications using LLMs, providing speed and accuracy unmatched by existing solutions.
Insurance: With $5.6 trillion in premium income, the insurance industry faces challenges in event-based claim processing. Hurricanes alone caused $130 billion in damages in 2022, underscoring the need for automation. The Intelligent Oracle enables fast, automated claim verification by fetching real-time data from the web, supporting parametric insurance and allowing payouts under pre-agreed conditions. Developers can tap into liquidity across various blockchains, streamlining decentralized insurance processes.
Financial Derivatives: Recorded a volume of $600 trillion and $13.2 trillion in the crypto derivatives market in 2024 and relies on up-to-the-second data. The Intelligent Oracle introduces real-time data gathering for innovative products like perpetual markets across diverse assets, including gold and stocks. Whether for options trading or contract management, Oracle ensures decisions are powered by accurate, trustworthy, and current information.
1. Cost-Effective and Fast:
- Allows for transaction finality in less than an hour, even in complex cases. Prediction markets no longer have to wait up to 98 hours for bet resolutions.
- Guaranteed lowest prices: Prediction markets can be resolved for less than a dollar per market, a fraction of what other solutions charge.
2. Real-Time Data Fetching: Autonomously scrapes the web for any real-time data, ensuring instant event resolution.
3. Scalability Across Chains: GenLayer’s oracle is cross-chain compatible and can integrate seamlessly with multiple blockchains ensuring that dApps can remain in their own ecosystem.
Specifically, prediction markets can rely on GenLayer’s accuracy, which integrates multiple AI models at the consensus layer to resolve their markets with accuracy and speed. They can also use the open-source market definition agent to enable their users to create well-defined market specifications. This ensures that prediction markets are is defined with greater precision, reducing ambiguity and potential disputes. The Intelligent Oracle excels in ingesting data from the web, analyzing patterns, and delivering decisions that are both faster and more accurate than human counterparts. This minimizes errors and improves the overall reliability of market resolutions.
The generalized chart shows that with inter-blockchain communication protocols, prediction markets across any blockchain can utilize the Intelligent Oracle to fetch reliable, verified data, providing a trustworthy platform for casual and professional traders alike.
