In another free crypto interview, BlockchainBrad speaks with DIA co-founder about verified & transparent oracles & related tech for the DeFi Economy. DIA (Decentralised Information Asset) is an open-source oracle platform that enables market actors to source, supply and share trustable data. DIA is an open-source platform built for transparency, though community-verified price oracles for legitimate DeFi applications. Thanks Paul for taking so much time to explain what DIA is! Why Oracles? DeFi applications are reliant on trustable and scalable data feeds to build reliable products and avoid exploitation and manipulation. DIA leverages crypto-economic incentives and the wisdom of the community to source, validate and deliver trusted financial data. ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Timestamps: 0:08 Introduction. 0:30 Transparency statement 0:50 What is DIA? 1:04 Data: transparency & efficiency.
