DIA DAO | Open-Source Oracles for Web3

**Privacy tech is ready - but adoption isn't.** A panel at Infra Gardens Buenos Aires tackled the disconnect between available privacy infrastructure and real-world usage. Despite **MPC, TEEs, and ZKPs** being production-ready, privacy remains a feature rather than the default. **Key discussion points:** - Why mature privacy tech isn't widely adopted - Barriers preventing privacy from becoming standard - What's needed to bridge the technology-adoption gap **Expert speakers included:** - Luciana Faria (Alchemy) - Alexandre Carvalheira (Fhenix) - Eli Cohen (Centrifuge) - Bogdan Habic (Tenderly) - Patrick McClurg (Randamu) The conversation highlighted that while the **infrastructure exists**, systemic changes are needed to make privacy the cornerstone of Web3 projects rather than an optional add-on.

**DIA introduces fully customizable oracles** that let protocols build exactly what they need instead of using generic feeds. **Key customization options:** - Choose specific data sources from 100+ exchanges - Define update frequency based on protocol needs - Select pricing methodology that fits use case - Set deviation thresholds for price movements **Why this matters:** Most oracle solutions offer one-size-fits-all approaches. DIA's system allows protocols to configure oracles precisely for their requirements - whether they need only DEX data, specific CEX sources, or traditional market feeds. **Technical foundation:** Built on Lasernet, DIA's custom L2 rollup that brings oracle computation onchain. Every data point remains verifiable with complete transparency from collection to smart contract delivery. This represents a shift from standardized oracle feeds to **protocol-specific data infrastructure** tailored for individual use cases.

**Tokenized RWAs reached $36B in 2025**, but industry leaders debate whether we're truly democratizing finance or simply moving traditional barriers on-chain. Key discussion points from Infra Gardens Buenos Aires: - **Treasury dominance vs. real demand** - Are we seeing genuine adoption or just yield-chasing? - **Cross-chain compliance hurdles** - Regulatory frameworks struggle across different blockchains - **Infrastructure gaps** - What's missing to reach the projected $360B milestone? The panel featured experts from CoinDesk, Protocol Labs, Sei Network, Paxos, and Goldsky discussing the real challenges behind the growth numbers. **Recent momentum includes:** - Aave Horizon crossing $590M in institutional demand - European regulatory approvals for tokenized funds - Major banks launching tokenized deposit programs While the numbers look impressive, the core question remains: **Is tokenization creating new access or just digitizing existing exclusivity?**

**Arbitrum retains 97% of transaction fees** after paying Ethereum for security services. Unlike Layer 1 blockchains that distribute revenue to validators, Arbitrum's fee structure works differently: - Only 3% goes to Ethereum for security - **97% flows into community-controlled treasury** - Funds growth initiatives without inflating token supply This revenue model gives Arbitrum significant financial resources for development and ecosystem expansion while maintaining decentralized governance over treasury allocation.

**DIA oracles now support $USDp price feeds** across 60+ blockchain networks, enabling transparent and verifiable pricing for Paxos Dollar integrations. **Key details:** - $USDp is a regulated stablecoin backed 1:1 by USD reserves - Overseen by New York State Department of Financial Services - Production-ready for DeFi applications requiring reliable stablecoin pricing This expansion follows DIA's recent oracle deployments for various assets including Base ecosystem tokens, AI agent tokens, and traditional assets. The **verifiable on-chain computation** ensures accurate pricing data for protocols integrating Paxos Dollar. *Ready for immediate DeFi integration across supported chains.*

**DIA DAO has published its treasury allocation proposal for fiscal year 2026**, marking the start of the annual governance process. **Key Timeline:** - Community members can submit alternative proposals until **December 5th** - Snapshot voting begins **December 5th** - Proposals must be submitted through the [DIA Forum](https://forum.diadata.org/t/gdp-018-dia-dao-annual-treasury-release-for-2026/1321) This follows DIA's established pattern of **annual treasury votes** that determine how unlocked tokens will be allocated for the upcoming fiscal year. **Community participation is encouraged** through the proposal submission process before the official vote opens.

**Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) reached $3B in 2025**, marking a **70% year-over-year growth**. However, this rapid expansion has exposed a critical infrastructure gap. **The Challenge:** - Traditional oracles weren't designed for tokenized assets - Accurate, verifiable pricing remains difficult - Infrastructure struggles to keep pace with adoption **DIA xReal's Solution:** - Dedicated price feeds for tokenized treasuries - Coverage for stocks, commodities, and real estate - Purpose-built oracle infrastructure for RWAs The RWA market has grown from $28B earlier this year, but **pricing accuracy remains the bottleneck** preventing wider institutional adoption.

**Paxos USDp price feed is now accessible through DIA oracles**, expanding the regulated stablecoin's reach across the DeFi ecosystem. **Key details:** - USDp is backed 1:1 by USD reserves - Regulated by New York State Department of Financial Services - Available for DeFi integration on **60+ blockchain networks** This integration follows DIA's previous addition of PAXG (Paxos gold-backed token) price feeds in October. The move provides developers with reliable, verifiable onchain data for the regulated stablecoin across multiple blockchain ecosystems. The expansion demonstrates growing infrastructure support for compliant digital assets in decentralized finance.

**DIA oracles now power BitUSD stablecoin** on Base, providing verifiable price feeds for diverse collateral types including DeFi tokens, memecoins, and AI agent tokens. **Key supported assets include:** - DeFi infrastructure: AERO, cbETH, ETH - Memecoins: BRETT, DEGEN, TOSHI, CLANKER - AI tokens: AIXBT, KAITO - Ecosystem tokens: ZEN, ZORA **BitUSD operates an overcollateralized omni-chain stablecoin** that accepts liquid staking tokens, RWAs, and community tokens as collateral - creating capital efficiency but requiring precise oracle accuracy. **DIA prevents oracle lag through:** - Direct data collection from trading venues - Asset-specific on-chain publishing - Verifiable computation for audit trails - Cross-chain consistency Bit Protocol research shows **stablecoin depegs often start with oracle delays** that prevent timely responses to market movements. Base has become a hub for crypto innovation beyond traditional DeFi, hosting communities building everything from DEXs to AI frameworks.

**DIA oracles now provide price feeds for sUSDe**, Ethena Labs' staked synthetic dollar. **What is sUSDe?** - Yield-bearing version of USDe synthetic dollar - Users stake $USDe to receive $sUSDe tokens - Earns protocol rewards from delta-hedged positions and DeFi integrations **Oracle Integration** The live sUSDe price feed is accessible through [DIA's platform](https://www.diadata.org/app/price/asset/Ethereum/0x9D39A5DE30e57443BfF2A8307A4256c8797A3497/), expanding data availability for developers building onchain products. This follows previous oracle integrations, including API3 Market support for sUSDe/USDe exchange rates across 17 blockchains.
