Question 1

What is DIA?

Accepted Answer

DIA is a blockchain oracle network and the token of the same name. An oracle is not a data source itself, but a mechanism that queries, verifies, and delivers data from off-chain or on-chain sources to smart contracts, allowing contracts to execute based on external inputs such as prices, interest rates, and real-world asset data. DIA's model emphasizes verifiable data paths: nodes can collect data from raw transaction-level sources on-chain and off-chain, then aggregate and publish it on-chain. An application using a particular data feed should still independently assess that feed's configuration, suitability, and risks.

Question 2

What are DIA's uses?

Accepted Answer

DIA has three core uses: paying Gas on Lasernet for oracle computations, data submissions, and transactions; providing economic security for oracle operations through staking; and participating in DAO governance. As oracle usage increases, related Lasernet operations consume DIA. These uses connect different participants: data feeders submit data through on-chain processes, stakers lock assets to support operations, and protocols relying on data use the feeds. DIA's uses do not guarantee holders a fixed return or a particular application's level of usage.

Question 3

What is the relationship between Lasernet and DIA?

Accepted Answer

Lasernet is DIA's own Ethereum Layer 2 rollup, based on the OP Stack; DIA is the network's native Gas token. Oracle data aggregation, filtering, computation, data submission, and other verification-layer transactions all consume DIA there. Its process is that operations execute first on Lasernet and then rely on the rollup's settlement and security model with Ethereum. Lasernet's higher throughput and lower Gas costs serve oracle operations, but this does not make DIA the Gas token of Ethereum mainnet.

Question 4

How can DIA holders participate in governance?

Accepted Answer

DIA holders can participate in governance through the DAO. The official process is to first discuss improvement proposals in the Forum and, after a formal proposal is formed, express governance choices through Snapshot voting. Tokens used for voting must be in a self-custodied wallet; DIA held in a third-party custodial account cannot be used directly in this voting process. Whether a proposal passes and how it is subsequently implemented depend on the relevant governance rules and execution arrangements.

Question 5

How does DIA staking work?

Accepted Answer

Current DIA staking takes place on Lasernet. Users first bridge DIA on Ethereum to Lasernet through DIA Bridge, then wrap it as wDIA in the staking interface, and finally stake at least 1 wDIA; only the wrapped token can interact with Lasernet's staking contract. There is no fixed pool or fixed term for staking. Users can initiate unstaking, but there is a 7-day cooldown before withdrawal. Rewards are calculated as a floating APY and automatically compounded; the official explanation states that, other conditions being equal, an increase in total network stake lowers an individual's APY, and vice versa, so displayed APY must not be treated as a fixed-return commitment.

Question 6

What is wDIA?

Accepted Answer

wDIA is the wrapped version of DIA used for staking on Lasernet. Users can wrap DIA into wDIA or unwrap wDIA back into DIA in the staking interface; its purpose is not to create another independent asset, but to make the token compatible with Lasernet's staking smart contract. Bridging and wrapping are therefore two stages: bridging changes the network on which the token resides, moving it from Ethereum to Lasernet; wrapping converts DIA on Lasernet into stakeable wDIA. After unstaking and expiry of the cooldown period, whether to unwrap or bridge back depends on the user's subsequent actions.

Question 7

What is DIA's supply?

Accepted Answer

DIA is an ERC-20 token with a maximum supply of 200 million. Maximum supply is the quantity cap disclosed by the protocol; it does not equal circulating supply at a particular time, tradable depth, holder returns, or price. Staking, bridging, or wrapping changes the contract or network environment in which tokens reside and their availability status, but should not be understood as automatically increasing maximum supply. To assess balances on each chain or the amount available to circulate, the real-time state of the relevant chains and contracts should be checked separately.

Question 8

How do DIA oracles provide data to on-chain applications?

Accepted Answer

The basic DIA oracle process is: nodes obtain raw data from public on-chain or off-chain sources, aggregate and process it using the configured methodology, and then publish the result as an on-chain data feed that smart contracts can read. This means contracts do not need to connect to external sources themselves. Whether data is suitable for a particular lending, derivatives, or other application depends on the combination of sources, calculation methodology, update arrangements, and the application's own risk controls. An oracle provides delivery and verifiability mechanisms; it does not eliminate volatility, latency, or configuration risk in market data itself.

Question 9

What is the difference between DIA staking and the future slashing mechanism?

Accepted Answer

Under the current model, stakers lock DIA to support oracle operations, while data feeders submit on-chain data and receive performance-related rewards for accurate and timely delivery. Together, they form what the official materials call an economic security layer. Slashing and delegation are future-stage directions described by the official materials: slashing is proposed to penalize dishonest data reporting, while token holders would support selected feeders and share relevant rewards. Because this framework is explicitly described as a future evolution, its penalty or delegation details must not be treated as implemented rules.

Question 10

What steps are required before participating in DIA staking?

Accepted Answer

When participating in staking from Ethereum, the complete path is to bridge DIA to Lasernet, wrap it as wDIA, and stake at least 1 wDIA; when exiting, users can unstake, but may withdraw only after a 7-day cooldown. The cooldown makes “requesting exit” and “funds being withdrawable” two distinct states. Bridging, wrapping, staking, and unstaking all require users to confirm transactions on the relevant networks and contracts. The target network and contract should be checked and the required Gas reserved; the official materials also state that, due to regulatory requirements, residents of the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada currently cannot use the staking service.

Question 11

How do DIA's network uses relate to token demand?

Accepted Answer

DIA's value linkage primarily comes from its Gas use in Lasernet operations, oracle-security staking, and governance participation: if these mechanisms are actually used, relevant participants may need to hold or use DIA in the corresponding processes. However, “more applications” or “more data requests” does not automatically mean the token price will rise. Price is also affected by tradable supply, liquidity, market expectations, holder behavior, and whether particular applications actually adopt DIA processes; token functionality is not a guarantee of returns or price performance.

Question 12

What data and application scenarios can DIA oracles support?

Accepted Answer

DIA can provide multiple configurable data feeds, including crypto-asset prices, lending rates, foreign exchange, tokenized real-world asset data, and random numbers. It can support smart-contract use cases reliant on external data, such as lending, derivatives, stablecoins, and asset management. “Can provide” means the network has the corresponding data-infrastructure capability; it does not mean that a usable feed necessarily already exists for every particular asset, blockchain, or dApp. In actual integrations, application developers still need to select data specifications, update methods, and risk parameters.
