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
