50+ apps can deploy custom Oracle Programs with SEDA for composable app development on Flow‘s testnet.

SEDA’s Programmable Infrastructure supports permissionless deployments of custom oracle feeds for any data type on Flow.

Flow has long maintained its position as the L1 for mainstream applications. With brand partnerships, including Disney, NBA, NFL, and Ticketmaster, Flow’s ecosystem is home to composable consumer apps, such as NBA Topshot, built on brand IP. SEDA’s Programmable Oracle Infrastructure empowers Flow builders to deploy custom oracle feeds specialized for any use case, offering flexibility in app development. SEDA’s integration into Flow’s tech stack improves developer-led customization for the next wave of composable apps, supporting the Flow vision for mainstream adoption.

Increasing Brands’ Access To Onchain Data Consumers

SEDA’s Programmable Oracle Infrastructure enables Flow’s Brand partners to make any of their data available via a single proxy node. Traditional oracle models require new APIs and smart contracts for each data set integrated into the oracle stack. With SEDA, data providers and brands can connect any current or future API to a single proxy node, allowing scalable access to their IP or other data on Flow and other networks. With the success of IP-backed consumer applications like Topshot, the Flow and SEDA integration is another step towards connecting IP to onchain app experiences. Brands offer a familiarity to consumers to engage with onchain experiences, and by improving access to IP-Data, builders on Flow can continue to deploy new waves of consumer apps for global adoption.

SEDA’s Oracle Programs Power Customization For Flow Devs

SEDA allows developers to tailor their data feeds to suit the specific function of their protocols by leveraging ‘data intents.’ The Flow ecosystem is home to various diverse app experiences requiring a high degree of custom data needs. By leveraging ‘data intents,’ builders define what data they need, which sources are queried, and how SEDA filters and aggregates results.

SEDA Oracle Programs are a powerful tool for specialized apps to access any data type required from day one in a completely permissionless environment. This level of developer-led customization allows protocols to build data feeds around use cases, as opposed to building use cases around data feeds.

SEDA Powered Use Cases For Flow

IP-based apps with composable frameworks could be the number one development on Flow using SEDA. Developers now have the programmable tooling required to configure IP-data feeds via SEDA for novel user experiences. Examples of such applications could include fantasy sports leagues on top of protocols such as NBA Topshot, Mini-games, or new use cases for IP-NFT technology.

Flow’s crescendo upgrade has made the network EVM equivalent, improving interoperability. With SEDA now an integral part of the Flow toolkit, developers can build apps that utilize chain abstraction or interoperability Oracle Programs powering communication between 31,150+ pathways across 250+ networks. Apps with native chain or account abstraction plus industry-wide interoperability will form the foundation for familiar and intuitive app experiences.

SEDA’s integration into the Flow network represents another step toward mainstream onchain application adoption. To stay updated, join the Flow and SEDA communities for upcoming spotlights on the first Oracle Programs.
