Epicenter - Learn About Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin And Distributed Technologies

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 & optim
