DIA

DIA (Decentralized Information Asset) is a blockchain oracle network that delivers verifiable, auditable price feeds and data services to on-chain applications. Founded in 2018 as a Swiss association based in Zug, Switzerland, DIA was built on a premise that distinguished it from earlier oracle designs: rather than relying on opaque third-party data aggregators, every price quote should be traceable back to its origin at the individual trade level. The platform is live across 65+ blockchains, supports more than 20,000 assets, draws from 100+ primary exchange data sources, and powers over 250 decentralized applications across DeFi, gaming, stablecoins, real-world assets, and lending protocols.

How DIA Works

DIA's oracle infrastructure is organized as a three-layer system called DIA Lumina, the platform's flagship oracle stack that reached full production deployment across major networks in 2025.

Feeders (Data Sourcing Layer). Independent node operators called Feeders collect raw trade-level data directly from centralized and decentralized exchanges. Rather than pulling from pre-aggregated third-party APIs, each Feeder reads from the exchange at the individual transaction level. As of mid-2025, more than 11 independent Feeders actively submit oracle data across DIA's supported chains.

Lasernet (Aggregation and Settlement Layer). Lasernet is an Ethereum Layer-2 optimistic rollup that sits at the core of Lumina. It receives raw data submissions from Feeders and executes price aggregation and validation logic entirely on-chain, within smart contracts — removing the need to trust off-chain computation. Lasernet batches transactions and posts them to Ethereum as compressed blobs, inheriting Ethereum's security guarantees while keeping costs manageable. A 7-day fraud proof challenge window allows any participant to dispute invalid submissions, and Feeders can be slashed for malicious behavior.

Spectra (Cross-Chain Delivery Layer). Once prices are settled on Lasernet, the Spectra layer handles delivery across destination chains. Protocols on each supported network read from DIA oracle contracts without needing to interact with Ethereum or Lasernet directly.

This architecture means that DIA oracle data — from raw exchange tick to on-chain price — is deterministic and fully auditable by anyone. Protocol teams and risk managers can inspect the specific exchanges, aggregation windows, and filtering rules that produced any given price. DIA also provides a developer-facing Oracle Playground that lets teams inspect live feeds and test aggregation logic before mainnet deployment.

Key Products and Data Feeds

DIA organizes its data offering into four core feed categories:

Digital Asset Price Feeds. Aggregated spot prices for 20,000+ cryptocurrencies and tokens, sourced directly from centralized exchanges and DEXs. Feeds are customizable: protocols can specify which exchanges contribute, the aggregation methodology (VWAP, MAIR, etc.), and the update frequency.

Real World Asset Feeds (xReal). Launched in 2025, DIA's xReal suite delivers verifiable on-chain price feeds for over 1,000 real-world assets including equities, ETFs, FX pairs, commodities, and macroeconomic data points. This suite is specifically designed to serve tokenized RWA protocols that require regulated-market data verifiable on-chain.

Fundamental Valuation Feeds. Reserve and collateral verification feeds enabling stablecoin issuers and lending protocols to verify proof-of-backing claims in real time.

Randomness Feeds (xRandom). A tamper-proof verifiable random function (VRF) service delivering provably fair randomness for gaming, NFT minting, and lottery applications.

DIA on Solana

DIA is live on Solana mainnet and provides price feeds for a broad set of digital assets and traditional assets to developers building on the network. The integration serves both native Solana applications and the growing ecosystem of Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) rollups.

A notable Solana-adjacent integration came in September 2024, when DIA partnered with Termina, a Solana-native Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform. As Termina's first oracle integration partner, DIA provides access to its full 20,000+ asset data library for developers building SVM rollups on Termina's modular infrastructure. The partnership opened more than 50 potential use cases for DeFi protocols, gaming platforms, and DePIN applications running on SVM rollup environments. Termina raised $4 million in late 2024 and offers zkSVM provers, SVM execution engines, and data modules — positioning DIA as the preferred data layer for this emerging SVM scaling ecosystem.

Security and Audits

DIA's core Lumina oracle stack, including Lasernet's staking contracts, aggregation logic, and cross-chain routing, has undergone comprehensive security audits by MixBytes. Audit coverage extended to the modular components of Lasernet, the price aggregation mechanisms, and staking smart contract logic.

The optimistic rollup model underpinning Lasernet adds a structural security layer: any invalid state transition can be challenged during the 7-day fraud proof window, and Feeders who submit bad data risk losing staked DIA. As of mid-2025, approximately 4.4 million DIA was staked on Lasernet.

The DIA Token

DIA is an ERC-20 token with a maximum supply of 200 million. It serves three interconnected functions:

Gas token. DIA is the native gas currency on Lasernet. Every data submission, aggregation computation, and oracle transaction on the rollup consumes DIA, creating organic demand tied directly to oracle usage volume.

Staking and network security. Token holders can stake DIA to participate in securing oracle operations on Lasernet (after bridging DIA from Ethereum and wrapping it as wDIA). Staking requires a minimum of 1 wDIA, carries variable auto-compounding APY, and has a 7-day unstaking cooldown.

Governance. DIA token holders govern protocol parameters through the DAO. Proposals originate on the community forum and proceed to binding votes on Snapshot. Only self-custodied tokens participate in governance.

Team and Background

DIA was co-founded in 2018 by Paul Claudius, Michael Weber, and Samuel Brack. Weber, who serves as CEO, previously built blockchain infrastructure ventures including Goodcoin, myLucy, and BlockState. Claudius also co-founded BlockState, a regulated digital asset platform. Samuel Brack, the CTO, holds a master's degree in computer science from Humboldt University of Berlin. The project raised $15.1 million across multiple funding rounds, with backing from Outlier Ventures, IconPlus Capital, and ZBS Capital.

Solana Ecosystem Fit

DIA occupies a distinct position in the Solana data infrastructure layer. Where many oracle providers operate as black boxes — delivering prices without disclosing sources or aggregation methods — DIA's architecture makes the entire data pipeline inspectable and contestable. For Solana DeFi developers working with long-tail assets, real-world asset integrations, or novel collateral types not covered by incumbent oracle providers, DIA's 20,000-asset coverage and customizable feed parameters offer meaningful flexibility.

The Termina partnership signals broader ambition: as Solana's modular stack expands to include SVM rollups and app-specific chains, DIA positions itself as the oracle layer that can follow applications wherever they deploy — from Solana mainnet to sovereign SVM execution environments. With its Lumina architecture built for cross-chain delivery from a single unified aggregation layer on Lasernet, DIA is structured to scale its Solana presence alongside the network's modular future.
