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 backgroundHigh level overview of SEDAOracle use casesHow SEDA Protocol functionsIntent-based data availabilityVerifying subjective data & LLM integrationZKPs & FHE for data privacyInteroperability & bridgingRoadmap & optimistic oraclesSEDA token migrationChain abstractionEpisode links:Jasper De Goojier on TwitterSEDA Protocol on TwitterSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
