Api3
About
Api3 is a decentralized oracle provider that connects traditional Web2 application programming interfaces directly to smart contract platforms. The network utilizes first-party oracle nodes operated directly by data providers, removing middleman intermediaries from data delivery pipelines. Its core infrastructure enables decentralized applications to access real-time financial market data, quantum random numbers, and cross-chain data feeds across numerous blockchain ecosystems. Protocols integrated with the network can capture oracle extractable value and receive automated rewards returned directly to decentralized finance protocols. Governance and staking are managed through a decentralized autonomous organization powered by the native protocol utility token.
Snapshot
Operations
Products and/or services of Api3
- First-Party dAPIs: Multi-chain decentralized data feeds aggregated directly from primary API providers, supplying real-time cryptocurrency, foreign exchange, and commodities price data to smart contracts across more than forty blockchain networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
- Airnode: A serverless oracle node software allowing API providers to bridge Web2 data feeds to blockchain networks without third-party middleware, operating on cloud infrastructure to directly sign and deliver data to smart contracts.
- OEV Network: A specialized ZK-rollup layer-2 network that captures oracle extractable value generated during data feed updates and redirects arbitrage revenues back to participating decentralized finance lending and trading protocols.
- Quantum Random Number Generator: A Web3 service delivering verifiable on-chain random numbers generated from physical quantum sources, utilized by smart contracts for gaming mechanics, non-fungible token minting, and algorithmic selection processes across EVM-compatible chains.
- AirnodeHub: An automated marketplace platform enabling autonomous artificial intelligence agents and developers to discover, query, and settle payments on-chain for real-time application programming interface data responses directly from primary sources.
- Governance and Staking Protocol: A decentralized governance framework where protocol utility token holders stake assets to secure oracle operations, vote on ecosystem proposals, and participate in network revenue redistribution and collateral protection mechanisms.
