Introduction to DIA
DIA’s architecture focuses on maximizing decentralization and trustless execution. It is composed of state-of-the-art modular components that use Lasernet, DIA’s native Ethereum layer-2 rollup, as its core settlement layer for critical data operations such as computation and verification. DIA tackles traditional blockchain oracles’ issues through its rollup-powered architecture:- Independent nodes fetch data directly from sources (CEXs, DEXs, more)
- Data is submitted on-chain to DIA Lasernet – DIA’s ETH L2 rollup
- Processing and aggregation of data happen on-chain
- Transactions are settled on-chain transparently
Features
Crypto-economic security
Decentralized data sourcing by independent Feeder nodes, backed by staked
assets.
Any asset from any chain
DIA’s first-party data sourcing capabilities one of its core benefit,
enabling unlimited asset coverage.
Deploy anywhere, fast
Seamless data transmission to any chain significantly reduces time to market
and friction in the developer UX.
Open and permissionless
Anyone can contribute to the system’s security or self-deploy and manage
oracles contracts.
Full data transparency
From granular data sourcing to immutable processing trails, the stack
ensures that everything is fully traceable.
No trust assumptions
Data computation happens on-chain via smart contracts, enabling full
verifiability of the end-to-end process.
Data Flow: From Source to Feed
DIA is composed of three main stages, each critical to ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and accessibility of your data.
DIA stack's components
| Component | Description | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| Feeders (Sourcing Layer) | Collect real-time data from decentralized exchanges (DEXs), centralized exchanges (CEXs), and other sources through Feeders. Learn how our decentralized network of nodes ensures that your data is accurate, timely, and sourced directly from the market. | Feeders |
| Lasernet (Aggregation Layer) | Process and verify the collected data using Pods and Aggregators within the LaserNet infrastructure. Dive into how these components transform raw data into reliable and secure price feeds for your dApp. | Lasernet |
| Spectra (Messaging Layer) | Deliver processed data across multiple blockchains using Spectra, our industry-leading cross-chain messaging protocol. Discover how LaserNet makes it easy to integrate DIA’s oracle data into any blockchain environment. | Spectra |
