DIA launches Lumina to end blind trust in oracles

DIA has officially unveiled Lumina, a new modular, rollup-based oracle architecture designed to bring trustless and verifiable data to blockchains.

Lumina rolled out on the mainnet on March 26, 2025, DIA, which stands for Decentralized Information Asset, noted in an announcement.

The unveiling marks a milestone that DIA says signals “the era of blind trust in oracles is over.” In other words, the mainnet launch of Lumina’s rollup-powered oracle solution puts an end to “black-box oracles.”

Instead it brings transparency and verifiability to the sourcing and delivery of data. This means developers, decentralized finance protocols, and blockchain networks will no longer operate in an opaque environment when it comes to data processing. “No more blind trust in oracles” is the shift that DIA Lumina aims to deliver, according to Dillon Hanson, DIA’s head of business development.

“For years, oracles have been considered a necessary evil by many—an infrastructure layer blockchain builders had no choice but to trust. That stops now. DIA Lumina isn’t just another oracle stack. It’s the first one that doesn’t ask you to trust it at all,” he added in a statement.

According to DIA, Lumina provides a solution that ensures trustless and verifiable oracles for decentralized finance and the real-world assets market. These sectors process billions in transactions across lending, derivatives, and stablecoins—use cases where oracles play a crucial role in data processing and verification.

But despite this growth, most legacy oracle platforms still operate as “centralized, trust-based” providers. Lumina’s design aims to change this by offering a fully on-chain architecture that enables transparency.

“By putting every transaction, price feed, and computation on-chain, we’re not just competing with existing oracles—we’re making them obsolete,” Hanson said.

To deliver these benefits, Lumina leverages Lasernet, a modular layer-2 built using Arbitrum’s optimistic rollup stack and data availability layer. This allows for verifiable oracles with public, low-cost data verification.

Ripple and Stellar are among the leading networks to integrate DIA’s oracle solution for on-chain real-world assets and institutional adoption. Oracle platforms currently dominating the industry include Chainlink, Pyth Network, Flare, and API3.
