Integration-first architecture for connecting traditional finance with DeFi protocols. Built on proven service-oriented banking architecture principles.
Most CeFi ↔ DeFi resources stop at comparison: "Banks use APIs, DeFi uses oracles." DIAN shows you the complete integration pattern.
If you understand how APIs work, you can understand how oracles work. If you know webhooks, you can grasp event listeners. DIAN translates familiar CeFi patterns into DeFi equivalents with working examples, security analysis, and implementation guides.
Familiar patterns mapped to decentralized implementations with full integration guidance
Map familiar CeFi integration patterns to DeFi equivalents. Document similarities, key differences, and where the analogy breaks down.
Trace how information moves through each pattern: authentication, request/response, error handling, state synchronization, and rollback.
Working code: smart contract integrations, API adapters, middleware layers. Both proof-of-concept and production-grade examples.

Traditional banking systems are built on service-oriented architectures used by financial institutions worldwide. DIAN brings this proven thinking to the decentralized world.
DIAN (Decentralized Integration Architecture Network) is a comprehensive framework for connecting traditional finance systems with DeFi protocols through proven integration patterns.
Built on proven service-oriented banking architecture principles, DIAN goes beyond mapping to provide practical, implementable integration strategies. We focus on HOW systems connect, not just WHAT they do differently.
Most CeFi ↔ DeFi resources stop at comparison: "Banks use APIs, DeFi uses oracles." DIAN shows you the complete integration pattern:
DIAN is organized into 8 integration domain clusters — each with architecture diagrams, code examples, risk analysis, and cost comparisons:
Integration Insight: Both patterns use HTTP + JSON, making them interoperable with minimal adapter code. The key difference is data source: centralized DB vs blockchain. Start with The Graph for read operations — it's the lowest-friction DeFi integration point.
DIAN is a living framework, continuously updated as DeFi protocols evolve and new integration patterns emerge. Contributions, case studies, and feedback welcome.
