Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko proposed a new oracle concept on October 24 that would leverage Solana validators to provide price assessments for tokenized assets used as collateral. Under the framework, validators would participate in price determinations proportional to their staked SOL, with generated profits potentially taxed to boost network revenue. The idea remains at the conceptual stage and is not a formal governance proposal, with no implementation timeline or vote arrangement currently established. If adopted, it could introduce a native alternative to existing oracle networks on Solana but may also raise concerns around supply changes from SOL issuance, conflicts of interest, and manipulation risks tied to validator-driven collateral pricing.
