As technology progresses, infrastructure should be commoditised, especially in Web3, in order to avoid the creation of bottlenecks and gatekeepers. Blockchains are naturally oblivious to off-chain data, so they need oracles to fetch data. However, given their past technical limitations, oracles have failed to provide a decentralised and permissionless framework for data query. SEDA seeks to change this by creating an intent-based modular data layer, which brings off-chain data on-chain, in order for it to be available to any party, regardless of who requested it first.
We were joined by Jasper De Goojier, co-founder of SEDA Protocol, to discuss the oracle landscape and how SEDA aims to decentralise it and make data access permissionless.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Jasper’s background
- High level overview of SEDA
- Oracle use cases
- How SEDA Protocol functions
- Intent-based data availability
- Verifying subjective data & LLM integration
- ZKPs & FHE for data privacy
- Interoperability & bridging
- Roadmap & optimistic oracles
- SEDA token migration
- Chain abstraction
