As analysts at blockchain firm Santiment noted, the surge in TRB prices was accompanied by an all-time high in network activity, with more than 50 unique transactions per day generated with a total value of more than $100,000. In addition to whale activity, TRB's daily active addresses also increased dramatically, reaching the 504 mark on October 23, according to Santiment.

However, despite weeks of gains, TRB is showing signs of overheating as funding rates turn negative. According to Coinalyze data, funding rates for TRB futures on four cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, ByBit, Huobi, and OKX, have turned negative, reaching an average of -0.38. This may indicate that traders are willing to pay long fees to maintain bearish bets.

Signs of a reversal appear to have already begun to emerge, with TRB’s price falling by around 15% in just one hour, shortly after hitting the important $98 level.

Tellor is a decentralized, permissionless oracle based on the Ethereum blockchain and other sidechains, providing decentralized applications with access to off-chain data. Although Chainlink and Tellor look very similar, the latter focuses on decentralization, allowing anyone holding 1,000 TRB to build a node and provide data to the oracle. In contrast, Chainlink only allows whitelisted nodes to submit data.
