DIA Rolls Out Cost-Free Oracles via Staking and Grants on 15+ Chains

Zug, Switzerland, June 24th, 2025, Chainwire

DIA, the trustless oracle network powering DeFi and RWA, today launches its mainnet staking program and unveils the multichain ‘Oracle Grants’ initiative. In collaboration with 15+ leading chains like Arbitrum and Avalanche, DIA is removing financial hurdles for builders and fueling a new wave of dApp deployments.

DIA’s Oracle Solution: Available Cost-Free on 15 Blockchains

Through strategic partnerships, DIA’s Oracle Grants Program provides projects on over 15 participating blockchains with subsidized oracle infrastructure, covering oracle costs for up to 12 months. Developers across major ecosystems, such as Arbitrum and Avalanche, as well as new, disruptive chains like Somnia, gain immediate, free access to high-quality oracle services powered by DIA’s fully onchain and trustless oracle stack, Lumina.

DIA’s grants model was first piloted on Arbitrum through the “Oracle Gasdrop” backed by a 30,000 $ARB grant. The initiative triggered a rapid uptick in new dApp deployments, proving how targeted incentives can directly accelerate ecosystem growth. The model complements Arbitrum’s broader strategy to fund public goods, as seen in its ArbiFuel program. “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.

Staking Reinvented with DIA’s Circular Incentives for Oracles

DIA’s staking initiative deploys more than two million $DIA tokens, fueling the circular incentive structure:

Tokens are staked to secure DIA’s oracle rollup network, “Lasernet”
Generated staking rewards power oracle usage costs for partner chain ecosystems, eliminating barriers for developers
Network fees generated through increased oracle adoption are fed back into DIA Lasernet, incentivising stakers and reinforcing network security.

Each participating blockchain has a dedicated staking vault, ensuring rewards directly bolster oracle operations for chain-native dApps, promoting targeted and scalable ecosystem expansion.

“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.”
