DIA has launched Lumina, an innovative modular, rollup-based oracle system aimed at providing trustworthy and verifiable data for blockchains.
According to a recent announcement, Lumina went live on the mainnet on March 26, 2025.
This launch represents a significant milestone, as DIA declares that “the era of blind trust in oracles is over.” In essence, the introduction of Lumina’s rollup-based oracle solution ends the reliance on “black-box oracles.”
Rather, it introduces transparency and verifiability in the data sourcing and delivery process. Consequently, developers, decentralized finance protocols, and blockchain networks can expect a more open approach to data management. “No more blind trust in oracles” is the transformation that Lumina aims to implement, as highlighted by Dillon Hanson, the head of business development at DIA.
“For years, oracles have been regarded as a necessary but unwelcome component—an infrastructure layer that blockchain developers had no choice but to rely on. That changes now. DIA Lumina is not merely another oracle solution; it’s the first that demands no trust at all,” he stated.
DIA asserts that Lumina delivers a trustless and verifiable oracle solution tailored for decentralized finance and real-world asset markets. These sectors engage in billions of transactions through lending, derivatives, and stablecoin operations, where oracles are fundamental for data processing and validation.
However, despite the rapid growth, many traditional oracle platforms continue to function as “centralized, trust-based” providers. Lumina is designed to address this by providing a completely on-chain architecture that fosters transparency.
“By placing every transaction, price feed, and computation on-chain, we’re not just competing with existing oracles—we’re rendering them obsolete,” Hanson remarked.
To achieve these advantages, Lumina utilizes Lasernet, a modular layer-2 built on Arbitrum’s optimistic rollup framework and data availability layer. This setup facilitates verifiable oracles with publicly accessible, low-cost data verification.
Networks like Ripple and Stellar are among the first to adopt DIA’s oracle solution for on-chain real-world assets and institutional use. Current dominant oracle platforms in the industry include Chainlink, Pyth Network, Flare, and API3.
