TL/DR: Universal Data Feeds (UDF) Whitepaper Overview
No Time for 13 Pages? Here’s UDF in 2.
Oracles power DeFi, AI, and RWA by feeding blockchain apps real-world data (prices, rates, events). But existing oracles are slow, expensive, and struggle with security, scalability, and cross-chain compatibility.
Why does it matter?
- DeFi: Real-time accurate data for DEXs, lending, and derivatives.
- AI & RWA: Verified data for high-speed algorithms and asset tokenization.
- Omnichain Liquidity: Trusted data flow across multiple ecosystems, improving interoperability.
- Smart Contract Automation: Reliable, real-time triggers for automated financial instruments.
- Institutional Adoption: Verifiable, tamper-proof data feeds, meeting compliance and transparency standards.
- Gaming & Metaverse: Real-time economic models and price feeds for in-game assets and virtual economies.
Enter UDF
UDF is the future of on-chain data. Fast, decentralized, and built for any blockchain. With 200ms updates (and getting faster), verifiable data transmission, and flexible Push/Pull models, it delivers real-time insights tailored for any dApp.
UDF is Built Different
- Speed: UDF updates data every 200ms with minimal latency.
- Scalability: L2-powered aggregation enables near-instant data finalization and high scalability.
- Security & Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT): UDF delivers real-time, cryptographically verified data without breaking the bank, ensuring trustless verification.
- Cost Optimization: Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) or subscription-based models reduce costs.
- Omnichain Compatibility: Supports both EVM & non-EVM chains.
- Push & Pull Models: On-demand (pull) or automated (push) data feeds for different dApps.
How It Works
UDF uses a multi-layer architecture for data transmission:
- Entangle Interoperable Blockchain (EIB) + L2: A scalable network for processing and finalizing data.
- Decentralized aggregation: Data is collected by multiple transmitters and verified before publication.
- Supports both Push and Pull models: Flexibility in how dApps consume data.
Push vs Pull Models
- Pull Model: dApps request and verify data in real-time. Perfect for lending, derivatives, and protocols requiring high precision.
- Push Model: Data is automatically published on-chain at set intervals or price deviations. Best for DEXs, stablecoins, and liquidity pools.
Security and Decentralization
UDF ensures data reliability through a decentralized, fault-tolerant architecture. It has no single point of failure, meaning data remains accessible even if some nodes go offline. Every data point is verified before publication, making it tamper-proof and resistant to manipulation. Multiple independent sources validate information before finalization. UDF’s security scales with demand, providing continuous protection against attacks as the system grows.
What's next?
- TEE-powered acceleration: Maximizing data finalization speed.
- Expanded omnichain integrations: New blockchain support for further widespread applicability.
- Optimization of aggregation mechanisms: New algorithms for data computation and verification.

UDF is Built Different
- Speed: UDF updates data every 200ms with minimal latency.
- Scalability: Oracle chain with L2-powered aggregation enables near-instant data finalization and unlimited horizontal scalability.
- Security & Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT): UDF delivers real-time, cryptographically verified data without breaking the bank, ensuring trustless verification.
- Cost Optimization: Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) or subscription-based models with cost sharing mechanisms to reduce costs.
- Omnichain Compatibility: Supports both EVM & non-EVM chains.
- Push & Pull Models: On-demand (pull) or automated (push) data feeds for different dApps.

Customizability and Future Directions
Developers using UDF can customize how data is aggregated to fit their needs. They can choose from Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP), median values, or multi-source correlation checks. This flexibility ensures dApps receive the most relevant and precise data for their specific use cases.
As a core piece of Web3’s data infrastructure, UDF will power the next wave of DeFi, AI, RWA, gaming, and beyond.
