About API3
Create powerful decentralized applications with API3’s decentrally governed and quantifiably secure data feeds. API3 data feeds, dAPIs, aggregate data from first-party oracles, operated by some of the world’s premier API providers. Decentralized, trust-minimized and transparent governance. First-party oracles instead of third-party middlemen. Users insured against data feed malfunctions. Real-world data for any smart contract platform. API3 data feeds are governed by an open DAO of stakeholders, industry experts and project partners. This allows dAPIs to be operated with maximal transparency, minimal required trust in centralized operators, and no centralized attack surfaces. API token holders can take a direct part in governing the project by staking API3 tokens into the API3 insurance staking contract, which grants them shares in the API3 DAO.

DIA
DIA (Decentralised Information Asset) is an open-source oracle platform that enables market actors to source, supply and share trustable data. 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. Bounties for data sourcing and data validation get funded with DIA tokens and are completed for reward. All data is pulled from primary sources to DIA servers. The DIA database gets hashed on-chain, and all scraper code and documentation is hosted on Github. All data is accesible via API endpoints or Oracles. Lending platforms, index providers, prediction markets and other users can freely acces DIA’s open-source, validated data streams.

Band Protocol
Band Protocol is a cross-chain data oracle platform that aggregates and connects real-world data and APIs to smart contracts. Blockchains are great at immutable storage and deterministic, verifiable computations. However, they cannot access trusted real-world information available outside their networks. Band Protocol enhances smart contract functionalities by granting them access to reliable data without any central points of failure. Decentralized Finance applications need price feeds on token swap and loan collateralization process. With Band Protocol’s built-in price oracle, developers can build DeFi with an absolute peace of mind that the price feeds they’re using are robust and tamper-proof. BandChain is designed to be compatible with all smart contract platforms and blockchain development frameworks. In a trustless and decentralized manner, BandChain does all the heavy lifting jobs of pulling data from external sources, aggregating, and packaging them.
