What is API3?
API3 is a blockchain protocol that changes how decentralised applications reach real-world data, using what it calls first-party oracles. It was founded in 2020 to tackle the oracle problem, letting the companies that own an API run their own oracle nodes directly rather than routing data through a middle layer.
The technology behind this is Airnode, a lightweight design that lets a data provider become a first-party oracle without deep blockchain engineering. Cutting out intermediaries is meant to make the resulting data feeds more reliable, more transparent about their source, and cheaper to run across several blockchain networks.
In practice API3 supplies data to DeFi apps, prediction markets and smart contracts on chains including Ethereum and Polygon. Its design also builds in coverage against oracle malfunctions, adding a layer of protection for the applications that depend on those feeds.
The API3 token ties the network together. Holders take part in governance through the API3 DAO, voting on proposals and upgrades, and can stake their tokens to gain extra voting weight and to help secure the protocol. As more on-chain applications need trustworthy outside data, that first-party approach is central to the project's appeal.
