To be honest, traditional oracles are just transporters — pulling prices from exchanges and writing them on-chain, and that's it. But the real issue lies here: smart contracts don't just need a string of numbers. They need to know whether the price comes from a legitimate exchange or a shady platform, whether the data has been manipulated. Does a legal document truly state what someone claims? Has a piece of information been verified, or is it purely fabricated?

The emergence of APRO changes this situation. It’s not just another cold data tool, but a truth verification system tailored for Web3. The key difference is significant: not only data, but also the trust chain behind the data. This means smart contracts can execute logic based on verified real-world information, rather than being misled by arbitrarily tampered data.

This upgrade may seem like a technical detail, but it actually touches the fundamental reliability of the entire on-chain application ecosystem. From financial derivatives to identity verification, supply chain tracing to voting mechanisms, any scenario that requires real-world data support depends on this "fact layer"’s ability to discern truth from falsehood.

Wow, this is what oracles are supposed to do. Those previous ones were really just price manipulation bots, not interesting at all.

Yeah, this is the real deal. Finally, someone has explained the oracle thing thoroughly. If the trust chain isn't built well, all the on-chain data is useless. The APRO approach is pretty good; data verification is indeed the bottleneck. I used to think oracles were too weak; turning them into a true/false verification system makes more sense. Now derivatives trading can be more confident. It was about time someone did this; whether it can be used depends entirely on the reliability of the information sources. Will manual verification become a new centralized issue? But I have to admit, this really hits the pain point. It all depends on how well the execution is carried out.

That's the real issue. The traditional oracle system should have been upgraded long ago. Anyone can do the job of transporting data. The key is to build a trust chain; otherwise, no matter how smart the contract is, it's still blind.

Traditional oracles are indeed disappointing, just data搬运工... I understand the logic of the APRO trust chain, but how many scenarios can truly be implemented still depends on the actual application.

This is what I want to hear. Traditional oracles are just middlemen, making a profit from the spread, regardless of data authenticity. APRO's approach is indeed different; it requires a verification chain.
