Your Smart Contract Doesn't Always Need an Oracle Update
Here's a simple oracle design question:
Does your application need the data pushed to it, or does it need to request the data?
Those are two different models.
PUSH
The oracle keeps updating the feed.
Useful when an application needs continuously refreshed information.
PULL
The application requests the data when it needs it.
Useful when data is only required at specific moments.
DIA supports both approaches through its Lumina oracle stack.
That might sound like a small technical detail.
It isn't.
The way data is delivered can affect how an application is designed, when updates happen, and how the protocol consumes oracle infrastructure.
Think about it like this:
Push:
“Keep me updated.”
Pull:
“I'll ask when I need it.”
Neither model is universally better.
The right choice depends on the application.
And that's what makes this interesting.
Good oracle infrastructure shouldn't only provide accurate data.
It should give developers different ways to consume that data $DIA
