DIA (originally DIAdata) is an open‑source, trust‑minimized oracle platform launched in 2018 to bridge traditional and digital financial data into smart contracts by offering transparent, communit…y‑sourced feeds for token prices, real‑world assets, randomness, NFTs, proof‑of‑reserve data and more across any blockchain; its architecture diverges from traditional oracle providers by scraping raw trade‑level data directly from on‑chain and off‑chain sources—including over 80 exchanges, NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols—and employing fully auditable computational methodologies such as MAIR or VWAP filters to cleanse and aggregate data in a transparent pipeline where each step from collection through computation to delivery is visible to the community, with hashes anchored on Ethereum to guarantee immutability and integrity, and feeds accessible either on‑chain via oracle smart contracts or off‑chain via REST or GraphQL APIs; the platform initially operated as “Nexus”, a battle‑tested stack powering price feeds, randomness and fair value feeds to over 50 chains and hundreds of applications, and later introduced “Lumina”, its next‑generation oracle stack built on the custom Ethereum Layer‑2 rollup Lasernet, enabling fully on‑chain, verifiable computation with permissionless running of feeder nodes, staking, customizable aggregators, inter‑chain delivery via Spectra and governance incentives, launched as testnet in late 2024 and opening mainnet in early 2025 to selective participants before full decentralization; DIA supports over 20,000 assets including crypto, NFT floor prices and traditional finance (RWA) data streams, and offers empowered tools like Oracle Builder and xStream for self‑service custom feed creation, while governance is structured via custom‑delivery requests (CDRs) and community approval processes (CARs), enabling any protocol to request new feeds and crowd‑source their development with bounty incentives in DIA tokens; the team led by co‑founders Paul Claudius, Michael Weber and Samuel Brack has raised substantial funding (~USD 15 million) and secured strategic partnerships and integrations with ecosystems such as Acala, Gnosis Chain, Telos, RippleX, Base and Polkadot, affirming adoption across both DeFi and TradFi sectors; DIA’s core mission emphasizes maximizing transparency, customization and availability of financial data across blockchains, with a fully public open‑source repository, developer documentation, monitoring dashboards and governance forums, continuing to expand data coverage, tooling, and decentralized participation while operating in parallel stacks with the original Nexus for fast and economical feed deployment and the newer Lumina stack for trustless, scalable, fully on‑chain oracle services.
