Today, DIA—the decentralized oracle network that fuels both DeFi and real-world asset projects—announced a game-changing multichain grants initiative alongside its new mainnet staking program. By teaming up with over 15 leading blockchains, including Arbitrum, Avalanche and even up-and-coming networks like Somnia, DIA is picking up the tab on oracle fees for builders, letting them focus on coding instead of costs.
Cost-Free Oracle Access for a Year
Through the Oracle Grants Program, any team building on a supported chain can tap into DIA’s Lumina oracle stack completely free for up to 12 months. Whether you’re crunching price feeds for a lending protocol on Avalanche or experimenting with novel RWA use cases on Somnia, your oracle service is covered. There are no hidden fees and no surprise bills. It offers seamless, trustless data delivered on-chain.
DIA’s pilot on Arbitrum, dubbed the “Oracle Gasdrop,” is backed by a 30,000 $ARB grant. It sparked an immediate uptick in new dApp launches. Developers jumped at the chance to integrate DIA’s oracles without worrying about gas costs. “Removing cost barriers for builders is key to unlocking innovation. DIA’s model is a powerful example of how ecosystem funding can drive real impact” said Ben Greenberg, DevRel at the Arbitrum Foundation.
Circular Staking: More Than Just Yield
Alongside free oracles, DIA is putting over two million $DIA tokens to work securing Lasernet, its oracle rollup network. It all fits together in a pretty elegant loop. When you stake your $DIA tokens, you aren’t just chasing a return—you’re literally helping to shore up Lasernet’s security and keep everything running smoothly.
Then, rather than letting those staking rewards sit unused, we redirect them straight into covering oracle fees on our partner chains, so developers don’t have to worry about that extra expense. As more dApps tap into DIA’s data feeds, the network collects more fees, and—here’s the best part—those fees flow right back into the Lasernet vaults.
That means stakers see bigger rewards over time, which in turn makes the network even stronger. Each blockchain has its own dedicated vault, so every dollar of reward gets funneled exactly where it can support the projects you care about. It’s a virtuous cycle: staking boosts security, rewards cut costs, and growth reinforces both.
“Staking on Lumina is not just about yield—it’s about utility and alignment,” said Zygis Marazas, Head of Product at DIA. “Every DIA oracle update is an on-chain transaction on Lasernet, every transaction’s fee is reinvested into the system, and every staker plays a critical role in securing our data pipeline. This cryptoeconomic security is essential for our fully trustless oracle network, and we’re just getting started.”
What’s Next for DIA?
With its open-source platform and fully verifiable oracle architecture, DIA is already raising the bar for transparency, security and efficiency in financial data. Now, with no-cost oracles on 15+ chains and a cleverly designed staking mechanism, DIA is positioned to power the next wave of decentralized innovation. Builders can jump in, deploy their dApps, and trust that their data feeds—and the network securing them—are taken care of.
