There is a question worth pondering: if we view the Bitcoin network as an underground digital asset vault, then over the years it has been an "island" in terms of information transmission—extremely secure but also eerily quiet. By the end of 2025, the Bitcoin ecosystem is expected to explode, and you'll find that the ones truly activating this giant are precisely those roles that build "data pipelines," such as oracle providers like APRO.



Let's start with a reality: the rules of competition in Web3 are like this—seize the first-mover advantage to gain benefits, while protocols that fundamentally solve problems will become the infrastructure of the ecosystem.

**How deadly is information asymmetry in DeFi?**

Oracles are the eyes of protocols. If the eyes have issues, no matter how well-built the financial system is, it can collapse at a moment’s notice. Most past oracles were optimized for the Ethereum ecosystem, but now the situation has changed—Bitcoin Layer2 and sidechains are growing wildly, and the data requirements have become extremely demanding: they must have the same security level as Bitcoin, and also achieve millisecond-level response speeds.

**What makes APRO different?**

It doesn't simply copy the quote system. Instead, it builds a complete "decentralized verification factory," leveraging Bitcoin’s native security properties, and uses complex cryptographic proofs to ensure that each price feed data has the immutability similar to Bitcoin transactions. Compared to traditional oracle voting decision mechanisms, APRO’s cryptographic verification is much more robust.

Oracles have indeed been underestimated. Basically, it's an infrastructure business—whoever sets up the data pipeline first wins.

Oracles are the place to eat meat. Now I understand, infrastructure is truly the key.

The island's statement is spot on. Bitcoin just lies there coldly, waiting for someone to take over as a data pipeline... APRO's cryptographic verification is indeed solid, not sure how much stronger it is compared to the voting system.

According to the white paper, the information verification mechanism of oracles is indeed a critical vulnerability in DeFi systems. From the data performance, the failure rate of traditional voting-based oracles in high-concurrency scenarios has been conclusively demonstrated. It is worth noting that if the APRO cryptographic verification scheme can truly achieve millisecond-level response times, then the incentive compatibility of governance proposals would be straightforward—assuming the premise holds. However, I still want to ask, what does section 3.2.1 of the white paper say about the economic model of this "decentralized verification factory"? The limitations of Token weighted voting in highly decentralized environments like Bitcoin Layer2 are actually a dilemma of multiple equilibrium solutions in game theory.

Oracles are the lifeblood of the ecosystem; the true test lies in balancing security and speed.
