DIA

DIA is a trustless, verifiable blockchain oracle layer that prices a broad range of collateral types, including liquid tokens, yield-bearing assets, tokenized treasuries, stablecoins, and other real-world assets (RWAs). It delivers transparent price and data feeds for more than 20,000 assets across 65+ integrated blockchains, sourced from over 100 decentralized and centralized venues and powering over 250 dApps. DIA provides digital asset price feeds, real-world asset feeds, fundamental and collateral data, and verifiable randomness. All feeds are transparent from source to chain so that every input, methodology, and on-chain publication can be audited.^[1]​

​

Overview

DIA’s oracle layer collects first-party market data directly from its origin, including decentralized and centralized exchanges and other venues, and aggregates this granular data into auditable on-chain feeds for blockchain applications.^[1]

At the architecture level, DIA operates a fully on-chain, trustless oracle stack called DIA Lumina, built from modular components. Feeders form the sourcing layer, collecting granular trade and market data directly from exchanges and other primary venues. Lasernet, DIA’s native Ethereum Layer-2 rollup and core settlement and aggregation layer, handles on-chain data storage, computation, and verification, with the DIA token used as the gas token. Within Lasernet, Pods and Aggregators maintain data states and compute final feed values according to configurable rules, while the Spectra messaging layer transports verified results to supported destination chains. This modular design combines crypto-economic incentives, cryptographic verification, and cross-chain messaging to operate a permissionless, trustless oracle network.^[9]

History

DIA as a project was founded in 2018, with development initially focused on building an open, transparent oracle framework for digital assets.^[12] The DIA token was later introduced and distributed to the public via an autonomous bonding-curve sale held from 3–18 August 2020, during which up to 30 million DIA were offered and any unsold tokens were burned at the end of the sale.^[13]

In its early technical architecture around 2020, DIA described its oracle workflow under the Nexus stack, which outlined how first-party data was sourced, processed, and delivered to Ethereum mainnet and other chains.^[8] As adoption grew, DIA expanded to tens of thousands of feeds across dozens of blockchains by 2022, using this Nexus-based flow to deliver price and other data to a broad range of protocols.^[14] The project later introduced the Lumina stack, centered on the Lasernet Layer-2 rollup, to make the oracle architecture fully on-chain, with Feeders, Pods, Aggregators, and the Spectra messaging layer forming a modular system for sourcing, computation, and cross-chain delivery of DIA’s data feeds.^[14][9]

Products

DIA’s main products include token price feeds, real-world asset price feeds, NFT floor-price feeds, fair-value and fundamental data feeds, and verifiable randomness feeds.

Asset Price Feed

DIA token price feeds provide real-time information for over 20,000 digital assets. They use aggregated trade data from more than 100 high-volume decentralized and centralized exchanges. These feeds support DeFi use cases such as lending, synthetic asset issuance, and derivatives, as well as broader collateral pricing across different asset types.

In addition, DIA constructs these feeds from first-party exchange data using transparent methodologies, including configurable outlier filtering and volume-weighted pricing, and exposes the full processing steps for auditability. Feeds can be delivered off-chain and on-chain to more than 60–65 blockchains via APIs and oracle contracts.^[1][2]

NFT Floor Price

DIA xFloor provides real-time price feeds for over 18,000 NFT collections. It sources direct on-chain trade data from multiple NFT marketplaces to enable integration into DeFi applications.

The product offers customizable price feeds and applies methodologies such as moving-average calculations and other filtering techniques to mitigate common manipulation patterns in NFT trading data. These NFT floor-price feeds can be deployed on-chain or accessed via API to meet specific user needs.^[5]

Randomness

DIA xRandom provides smart contracts with verifiable and unbiased random numbers using drand’s distributed randomness beacon, which is updated every 30 seconds. It supports a range of on-chain applications, such as gaming, lotteries, prediction markets, and NFT launches, by offering a secure and decentralized randomness oracle across multiple L1 and L2 blockchains supported by DIA.

Randomness feeds form part of DIA’s broader oracle layer alongside price, real-world asset, and fundamental data feeds and are designed to be auditable from source to on-chain publication. DIA’s decentralized node network, xNode, distributes randomness on-chain and aims to prevent manipulation of the generated results.^[3][4]

Fair-Value Feeds

DIA xFair is an oracle product that provides fundamental and fair-value feeds for assets whose traded prices may not fully reflect their backing or collateralization. This includes Liquid Staking tokens (LSTs), stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets. DIA’s fair-value infrastructure, branded as DIA Value, is designed in particular for assets where market-based pricing can break down or be unreliable, such as tokenized treasuries, fund net-asset-value (NAV) tokens, yield-bearing derivatives, synthetic stablecoins, and other illiquid or thinly traded institutional assets.^[17]

These feeds use on-chain and off-chain data to evaluate collateral ratios, reserves, and redemption mechanisms, enabling proof-of-backing checks and collateral verification. Instead of aggregating thin or potentially manipulable market prices, DIA Value computes an intrinsic value from verifiable inputs such as smart-contract state, reserve balances, redemption formulas, and portfolio holdings, following approaches similar to traditional finance fair-value methods.^[17] DIA applies several high-level valuation methodologies, including Net Asset Value (valuing claims on portfolios by marking underlying holdings to reference markets), Proof of Reserves (valuing claims based on attested or on-chain reserves), Contract Exchange Rate (using contract-defined conversion formulas between assets), Reserve-Backing Ratio (pricing based on the ratio and composition of reserves backing a token), and Redemption Value (deriving value from formal redemption rights and mechanisms specified in contracts or documentation).^[17]

This approach supports DeFi protocols and risk frameworks in use cases such as lending, borrowing, and money markets by offering configurable methodologies for pricing based on underlying reserves rather than only secondary-market trades. It is intended to enable tokenized treasuries and fund shares to be used more safely as collateral, support stablecoins with complex or multi-asset reserve structures, and provide consistent cross-chain pricing for assets whose value is primarily defined by backing or contractual mechanisms instead of continuous trading. xFair feeds can be customized for different collateral models and deployed across multiple blockchains.^[1][6]

RWA Price Feeds

DIA gathers data from traditional financial markets and on-chain sources to provide price feeds for tokenized real-world assets and for underlying instruments such as stocks, commodities, bonds, and foreign exchange rates. These real-world asset feeds can be used to build applications including stablecoins backed by diversified reserves, tokenized treasuries and money-market products, and derivatives referencing off-chain benchmarks.

The feeds emphasize traceability from raw market inputs to final on-chain values so that protocols can verify sourcing and methodology for each RWA-linked price.^[1][7]

Oracles

Beyond individual products, DIA describes its oracle design as a fully on-chain, trustless, and permissionless architecture composed of modular layers. Feeders collect data from decentralized and centralized exchanges and other sources, Lasernet serves as the Ethereum Layer-2 core where Pods and Aggregators process and verify data on-chain, and the Spectra messaging layer delivers these processed feeds to multiple blockchains as oracle outputs.

Nexus

Nexus is a flexible oracle design that outlines how DIA sources, processes, and delivers price data across chains. It focuses on gathering first-party market data directly from exchanges, transforming this raw data into computed feeds using transparent methodologies, and distributing the results via APIs and smart contracts on major Layer-1 and Layer-2 blockchains. In practice, Nexus describes an earlier logical view of the cross-chain oracle workflow whose stages are implemented and extended in DIA’s fully on-chain Lumina stack, including its Feeders, Lasernet, and Spectra messaging components.^[8]

DIA Lumina

DIA Lumina is the primary oracle stack through which DIA operates its trustless data infrastructure. It is built around Lasernet, the Ethereum Layer-2 rollup that handles data storage, computation, and verification for DIA feeds, with the DIA token used as the gas token for transactions on the network.^[9]

Within Lumina, Feeders form the sourcing layer by ingesting granular trade and market data directly from decentralized and centralized exchanges and other primary sources. On Lasernet, Pods and Aggregators constitute the aggregation and computation layer, maintaining on-chain states and computing final feed values according to configurable aggregation and validation rules. The Spectra messaging component operates as the delivery layer, transmitting verified results from Lasernet to supported destination chains and enabling cross-chain access to oracle data. Together, these elements combine staking-based incentives, cryptographic techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs for off-chain validation, and cross-chain messaging to provide verifiable, end-to-end transparent oracle feeds within a permissionless, modular architecture.^[9]

DIA Token

The DIA token is an ERC-20 asset with a maximum supply of 200M tokens.^[11] Its three primary functions within the ecosystem are to serve as the gas token on the Lasernet rollup, to be staked in order to help secure oracle operations, and to underpin governance in the DIA DAO. On Lasernet, transaction fees for oracle computations and data publication are paid in DIA, giving the token a role in funding activity within the Lumina stack.^[11]

DIA’s tokenomics allocate the 200M maximum supply across several categories, including the bonding-curve distribution sale, private, strategic, and seed sales, allocations for founders and the core team, advisors, an ecosystem and DIA Labs pool, and a company reserve.^[15] Tokens that were not sold during the bonding-curve sale were permanently burned after the sale concluded, reducing the circulating supply relative to the initial maximum offered in that event.^[13]

Staking is conducted on Lasernet using a wrapped representation of DIA (wDIA). In this design, DIA can be bridged from Ethereum to Lasernet and wrapped into wDIA, with a minimum staking amount of 1 wDIA. Node operators (Feeders) and delegators can then stake wDIA to support oracle operations and may receive rewards linked to their contribution, with rewards auto-compounded and no fixed epochs or lockup periods beyond the minimum stake and exit rules. Unstaking involves a cooldown period before staked tokens can be withdrawn, which is set to 7 days in the DIA staking design, and mainnet staking on Lasernet was launched in late June 2025 with several independent Feeders submitting oracle data on-chain across multiple chains.^[11][16] Staking rewards are calibrated dynamically based on the total amount of DIA staked, and the live annualized yield is displayed in the staking interface, while the core mechanics—7-day unbonding and auto-compounding rewards without fixed epochs—remain unchanged.

For governance, DIA token holders can propose and vote on initiatives using off-chain signaling via Snapshot, including DIPs, GDPs, CARs, and CDRs under the DIA DAO framework. Governance proposals are typically discussed in the DIA Forum and voted on by self-custodied token holders who hold DIA in their own wallets. DIA token governance, staking, and gas utility are coordinated under the DIA DAO’s rules and processes.^[10][11]

DIA DAO

DIA token holders can participate in protocol governance through several dedicated modules. DIA Improvement Proposals (DIPs) cover product

• and protocol-related changes, while General DIA Proposals (GDPs) address broader operational or community matters. Community Approval Requests (CARs) are used to obtain community consent for new product categories or similar framework-level decisions. In addition, Custom Delivery Requests (CDRs) allow dApps to request and obtain approval for tailored data feed deployments.^[10]

Partnerships

DIA provides oracle feeds and integrations on multiple blockchains, including Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana, and Stacks. On these networks, DIA’s infrastructure is used to deliver token price feeds, real-world asset feeds, NFT floor-price data, and randomness outputs to integrated protocols and applications.^[3]​
