DIA DAO Opens Applications for Builders Across Arbitrum and 20+ Partner Chains

**DIA oracles now provide production-ready XMR price feeds** from first-party sources, marking another milestone in privacy-focused crypto infrastructure. **Key developments:** - Monero joins Zcash as privacy assets gain oracle support - Growing demand driven by financial surveillance concerns - Feed sourced directly from primary data providers **Context:** Privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies are experiencing renewed interest as users seek alternatives to transparent blockchain transactions. The availability of reliable price feeds enables DeFi protocols to integrate these assets more seamlessly. This follows DIA's October 2025 launch of ZEC/USD feeds, expanding oracle coverage for privacy-focused tokens.

**Infrastructure funding breakthrough for new projects** DIA's Oracle Grants program is addressing a critical challenge for early-stage blockchain projects: prohibitive infrastructure costs. The initiative provides first-year builders with free access to oracle services, removing a significant financial barrier. **Key benefits:** - Access to 10,000+ live data feeds covering crypto, FX, and RWAs - Zero cost during the crucial first year of development - Removes bottlenecks that often derail early-stage teams According to Arbitrum DevRel's hummusonrails, these grants eliminate a roadblock that has historically prevented promising projects from getting off the ground. The program is already supporting builders on networks like Aurora, giving them immediate access to essential oracle infrastructure without upfront investment.

**DIA's 2025 Growth Metrics** DIA oracle network achieved significant expansion across the blockchain ecosystem: - **36 dApp integrations** across DeFi, RWAs, AI, and gaming sectors - **19 new blockchain deployments** including Arbitrum, Unichain, Base, and HyperEVM - **20+ grant partnerships** through DIA Oracle Grants program - Now operational on **60+ major L2s and specialized chains** **Key Infrastructure Partnerships** - AltLayer integrated DIA into Rollups-as-a-Service platform - Saga added Chainlet deployment support - Official service provider for BNB Chain Kickstart Program **Notable DeFi Integrations** Morpho, Euler, and Silo deployed on Ethereum and Base. Parallel Protocol expanded across HyperEVM, Sonic, Base, and Avalanche. Hydration implemented custom DEX scrapers on Polkadot. **2026 Strategic Focus** DIA targets DeFi vaults and institutional adoption, building on its verifiable oracle infrastructure that provides full transparency from data source to destination chain.
