In the high demand world of building in Web3, access to high-quality, real-time data isn’t just advantageous—it’s necessary. Whether you’re building apps or managing digital assets, the right data can make all the difference. That’s where Steer Protocol’s Data Marketplace comes in, drastically changing how developers and organizations interact with data in Web3.

The Data Dilemma in Web3

Before we dive into what we’ve built, let’s consider the most common pain points we hear in conversations from Web3 protocol builders when it comes to data:

  1. Data Discovery: With information scattered across multiple chains, protocols, and platforms, finding the right data can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
  2. Access and Security: Once you’ve located a data source, securing reliable access often involves complex API integrations and managing multiple authentication methods.
  3. Data Transformation: Raw blockchain data is rarely ready for immediate use. Developers often spend countless hours cleaning, formatting, and normalizing data before it becomes valuable.
  4. Real-time Updates: In the fast-moving world of crypto, stale data can lead to missed opportunities or flawed decision-making.
  5. Cost and Resources: Maintaining connections to multiple data sources and processing large volumes of data can be prohibitively expensive for smaller teams or projects.

Future Data Possibilities

While our current offerings provide a robust foundation, we’re excited about the potential to integrate even more diverse and specialized data sources in the future.

Imagine having access to prediction market data, allowing you to build applications that tap into the wisdom of the crowd. Or consider the possibilities of incorporating comprehensive lending and borrowing metrics from across DeFi, enabling more sophisticated risk assessment and yield optimization strategies.

But why stop at crypto-native data? What if we could bridge traditional market data from sources like Google, Bloomberg, or Yahoo to enable novel on-chain Real World Asset (RWA) use cases? This convergence of traditional and decentralized finance data could open up entirely new avenues for innovation.

These are just a few examples of the exciting directions we’re exploring. Our goal is to continuously expand the Data Marketplace, ensuring that Steer remains at the forefront of providing the most comprehensive and valuable data resources for the Web3 ecosystem.
