Protocol Overview

Molpha is the programmable oracle layer that anyone can use. It removes the barriers between off-chain data and on-chain logic, delivering a practical, scalable path toward truly open oracle infrastructure.

The Problem

Most oracle networks today share four limitations:
  1. Closed Access – Only a few operators can list or manage feeds
  2. Volatile Economics – Token-based fees fluctuate with market cycles
  3. Rigid Architecture – Custom or niche APIs are difficult or impossible to onboard
  4. Centralized Coordination – A handful of aggregators create operational bottlenecks
For Web3 to evolve beyond finance, data infrastructure must become as open and programmable as smart contracts themselves.

The Solution

Molpha is the programmable oracle layer that anyone can use.
  • Accessible — Permissionless feed creation; any API can be connected in minutes
  • Stable — Pure USDC economy for predictable costs and rewards
  • Decentralized — Independent verifier nodes with rotating leadership replace centralized aggregators
  • Secure — API keys managed through HashiCorp Vault; on-chain verification ensures integrity
Vision: an open oracle fabric where every developer can publish, verify, and monetize data transparently.

Five-Layer Architecture

Molpha is structured as a five-layer stack:

1. Solana Program — Canonical Layer

  • The single source of truth for feeds, node registration, deposits, and reputation
  • Manages staking, slashing, and feed metadata
  • Written in Rust (Anchor)
  • Provides verifiable state to all connected ecosystems

2. Verifier Nodes — Validation Layer

  • Independent bonded nodes or Dawn Black Boxes run off-chain
  • Fetch data from APIs, validate results, and sign them
  • Use a rotating leader model to publish results on Solana
  • Written in Go, communicating via gRPC / WebSocket
  • Access keys securely fetched from HashiCorp Vault

3. Smart Contracts — Consumer Layer (EVM)

  • Lightweight feed contracts on EVM chains
  • Manage subscriptions, distribute rewards, and store compact feed data
  • Use SSTORE2 and bitmaps for gas-efficient storage

4. Backend & Indexers

  • Custom Solana indexer for feed and node events
  • Ponder indexer for EVM analytics and consumer dashboards
  • Backend handles cross-chain sync, API orchestration, and subscription tracking

5. Frontend

  • Web dashboard for creating and managing feeds
  • Wallet-based login (Solana + EVM)
  • Real-time feed data, analytics, and node performance metrics
  • Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Reown AppKit, Anchor + wagmi/viem.

Partnerships & Integrations

  • Dawn Internet — Plug-and-play hardware nodes for decentralized data infrastructure
  • HashiCorp Vault — Secure storage for protected API credentials
  • Ponder — EVM indexing and analytics engine
