In the world of Web3—where decentralized finance (DeFi), AI agents, and IoT networks thrive—data is the lifeblood that drives decisions, automation, and innovation. Yet, a staggering 99% of real-time, hyper-specific data remains locked away, inaccessible to most developers and applications. Traditional data sources like centralized APIs and generic feeds only scratch the surface, offering broad, often delayed insights that miss the niche, immediate signals critical for cutting-edge use cases. Enter the Decentralized Pub/Sub Network (DPSN)—a game-changing infrastructure that unlocks this hidden 99%, delivering real-time, decentralized data streams to anyone who needs them. Here’s how DPSN does it.
Imagine you’re building a DeFi app that needs real-time liquidity pool updates, an AI agent tracking obscure market sentiment, or an IoT system reacting to sensor spikes—all in milliseconds. Centralized data providers might give you basic price feeds or weather updates, but what about the granular, specialized data—like a sudden shift in a tiny trading pair or a single smart device’s output? That’s the 99%: the vast ocean of untapped signals that centralized systems either overlook or can’t scale to deliver.
These traditional solutions suffer from:
Centralization: Single points of failure and control limit access and trust.
Latency: Delayed data kills real-time responsiveness.
Narrow Scope: They focus on the obvious 1%, ignoring the niche 99%.
This leaves developers scrambling to cobble together custom solutions or settle for suboptimal data, slowing innovation and leaving value on the table.
DPSN flips the script by creating a decentralized publish-subscribe (pub/sub) network that’s built for the 99%. Here’s how it works:
Anyone Can Publish: With DPSN, any entity—whether a developer, a smart contract, or an IoT device—can publish data to a stream (or “topic”). Got a unique dataset, like real-time NFT floor prices or a factory sensor’s output? Push it to DPSN, and it’s live for the world to use. No gatekeepers, no bottlenecks.
Instant Subscriptions: Subscribers—like AI agents, DeFi apps, or oracles—can tap into these streams instantly via the DPSN SDK or a simple stream ID. Need that NFT price feed or sensor data? Subscribe, and it’s delivered in real time, with latency under 100ms.
Decentralized and Trustless: DPSN runs on a network of nodes, each validating messages through Actively Validated Services (AVS) with a staking mechanism. This ensures data integrity and availability without relying on a central authority, unlocking trustless access to the 99%.
Existing Streams: Browse and subscribe to ready-made feeds—crypto prices, sports stats, IoT telemetry, and more—created by a growing community of publishers.
Custom Streams: Can’t find what you need? Publish your own stream and let others subscribe, turning niche data into a shared resource.
This marketplace bridges the gap between data creators and consumers, making the 99% not just accessible but discoverable.
So, how does this unlock the 99% in practice? Let’s look at some examples:
DeFi: A trader subscribes to a hyper-specific liquidity pool stream—data no centralized API offers—executing trades milliseconds ahead of the market.
AI Agents: An agent taps into real-time sentiment streams from obscure social platforms, refining predictions beyond what broad APIs provide.
IoT: A smart city system subscribes to thousands of decentralized sensor streams, reacting to traffic or air quality shifts instantly.
These aren’t hypotheticals—DPSN’s infrastructure, built on scalable platforms like Starknet, is already pushing price feeds live and integrating with DeFi apps, with plans to expand to oracles and beyond.
The 99% isn’t just data—it’s opportunity. Centralized systems can’t scale to capture the long tail of real-time signals that Web3 demands. DPSN’s decentralized, modular approach changes that:
Scalability: Nodes handle high throughput, so the network grows with demand.
Flexibility: Publish or subscribe to anything, anytime—no code changes needed.
Community-Driven: The marketplace thrives as more users contribute streams.
By unlocking the 99%, DPSN empowers developers to build faster, smarter, and more innovative applications, from DeFi to AI to IoT and beyond.
The future of Web3 isn’t in the 1% everyone sees—it’s in the 99% DPSN unlocks. Join us, and let’s turn data into action.
What makes DPSN truly unique is its data streams marketplace (check out). Think of it as a decentralized hub where the 99% comes to life:
Ready to tap into the 99%? The DPSN SDK makes it easy—publish your own streams or subscribe to existing ones with a few lines of code. Visit to explore the marketplace, or dive into our docs to see how DPSN can transform your project.
