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:- Closed Access – Only a few operators can list or manage feeds
- Volatile Economics – Token-based fees fluctuate with market cycles
- Rigid Architecture – Custom or niche APIs are difficult or impossible to onboard
- Centralized Coordination – A handful of aggregators create operational bottlenecks
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
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.
