[Informative] January Insights: Key Highlights from Plugin’s Journey

As we step into the early months of 2026, Plugin continues to scale its infrastructure and deepen its commitment to decentralization, reliability, and real-world adoption. With major network upgrades and meaningful progress across our ecosystem, the foundation for the year ahead is being firmly set.

📰 News

🔔 Plugin Network & Ecosystem Updates

Plugin Decentralized Oracle Network just received a major power boost. An additional 60+ nodes are selected for actively providing data feeds as Standard Nodes, significantly to strengthen the network. This bolsters decentralization across the PLI ecosystem, delivers institutional-grade reliability, and increases throughput for Real-World Asset (RWA) data feeds.

📈 2025 Achievements & 2026 Roadmap

We’re gearing up to unveil a comprehensive overview of Plugin’s 2025 milestones along with our 2026 roadmap. Exciting developments, new upgrades, and ecosystem expansions are on the way stay tuned for the official announcement coming very soon!

🏠 EquitEdge Ecosystem Update

We have completed the smart contract and successfully tested the ability to mint our investment token using the ERC3643 standard, marking a significant step toward fully on-chain real-world asset investing. The platform is being built to allow users to invest seamlessly using USDC, which will simplify onboarding and improve accessibility for a wider audience. Once the underlying property milestones are fulfilled, the corresponding investment tokens will be released to investors, completing the investment lifecycle with transparency and trust at every stage.

🔗 RPC as a Service Update

The RPC-as-a-Service (HTTP) is now live on testnet for the moderator community to begin testing. Feedback is actively being collected, and improvements are underway to ensure the service is stable, reliable, and optimized for all use cases.

Work on the WSS (WebSocket) version is ongoing and will be made available soon for further testing, providing real-time connectivity and expanded functionality for developers and moderators alike.

🍽️ Food for Thought

Decentralization is no longer just about removing intermediaries — it’s about building systems that scale responsibly. As oracle networks grow stronger, reliability and execution become just as important as innovation. The future of Web3 belongs to networks that can handle real-world demand without compromising trust.
