DIA Launches Mainnet Staking and Blockchain Oracle Grants Campaign

DIA is building the foundation for trustless, transparent data infrastructure, shipping the roadmap of DIA Lumina, the first oracle architecture to bring full on-chain verifiability, powered by Lasernet, DIA’s own Ethereum Layer 2 rollup.

Following a successful mainnet deployment at the end of March, the next phase of the rollout is now live.

Today, DIA launches two core components of its next growth phase: Mainnet staking and the DIA Oracle Grants campaign.

Together, staking and grants form a powerful economic system:

• Feeders stake to secure and feed data into Lasernet
• Token holders stake to secure the network and earn yield
• Chain-specific vaults support DIA oracle usage for builders

This is more than a product release. It’s the start of a long-term flywheel driving adoption, usage, and value accrual in the DIA stack.

DIA Lumina’s staking layer is now fully live—on-chain, permissionless, and running on Lasernet, DIA’s dedicated Ethereum Layer 2 rollup.

This launch follows the successful Genesis Staking, which reached full capacity during its limited early access phase. Starting today, Genesis participants can claim their principal and rewards on Ethereum and Lasernet, respectively, and re-stake directly on Lasernet to continue supporting the network and earning yield.

Key features of staking on Lasernet:

• No lockups required – stake and unstake with complete flexibility
• 7-day unbonding period – balanced security with reasonable liquidity
• DIA rewards, auto-compounded – earned yield is restaked automatically, so your rewards generate rewards, boosting and scaling long-term growth.

This launch brings on-chain utility to the DIA token, anchored in a live, production Layer 2 infrastructure, and makes every staked token a part of the security that underpins the expanding Lumina ecosystem.

High data oracle costs are a silent killer of dApp innovation. A single price feed can cost hundreds of dollars monthly just in gas fees, forcing developers to choose between accurate, up-to-date data and sustainable economics.

To address this, DIA is launching a multi-chain Oracle Grants campaign in collaboration with a growing network of leading L1 and L2 ecosystems. Together with partners such as Arbitrum or Avalanche, DIA is providing grants that offer up to one year of free access to DIA oracle infrastructure.

This joint initiative is designed to accelerate innovation within these ecosystems, removing a major operational barrier while expanding access to high-quality, verifiable oracle data.

How it works:

• Partner chains collaborate with DIA on dedicated staking vaults
• Vaults generate yield on-chain
• Those rewards support oracle infrastructure up to 1 year for qualified dApps

Grant coverage includes:

• Price feeds for DeFi protocols
• RWA data for tokenization platforms
• Randomness data feeds for Gaming protocols
• Proof of reserve feeds for DeFi and RWA applications
• Custom data feeds for specialized use cases

Grant Partner Ecosystems: A Growing Alliance

To launch the grant program, DIA is collaborating with a first wave of ecosystem partners, committed to expanding their developer support stack.

Participating chains include: Alephium, Ankr, Arbitrum, Aurora, Avalanche, BNB Chain, BOB, GEB, Gelato, Goat Network, Kadena, Linea, LUKSO, Midnight, Plume, Polygon, Stacks, Somnia, Sonic, Superseed. Additional networks are onboarding.

These partnerships bring real alignment, backed by capital and infrastructure, to drive verifiable data access across DeFi, RWAs, gaming, and more.

The combination of staking and grants creates a powerful feedback loop that grows stronger with adoption:

• DIA network strengthens as more DIA gets staked on Lasernet. 
• Developers build faster with guaranteed infrastructure costs covered, removing friction and enabling more experimentation.
• Ecosystems expand as more dApps launch with reliable oracle infrastructure, attracting more developers and creating network effects that benefit all participants.
• DIA captures value through increased utility and adoption of the oracle services. Higher demand for DIA oracles generates more fees and supports node providers and stakers, creating sustainable tokenomics that reward long-term ecosystem participation.

This isn’t just a grant program—it’s a new model for oracle economics that aligns incentives across builders, stakers, and blockchain ecosystems.

This launch represents the first major activation of DIA Lumina’s economic layer. Additional components rolling out in the coming months include advanced staking mechanics, more ecosystem partnerships, and new oracle product modules designed for specific verticals like gaming and RWAs.

The goal is simple: make trustless, verifiable oracle data as accessible and affordable as centralized alternatives, while creating sustainable value for everyone participating in the ecosystem.
