Everyone is focused on throughput and Gas fees, but I am more concerned about something that is often overlooked: whether the data your contract depends on is truly accurate at critical moments.
This kind of failure is silent, but once something goes wrong, it feels terrible—liquidation seems completely compliant from the code logic perspective, but users feel cheated because the data fed by the price oracle has issues; the random number results in the game can be calculated in advance, and the winners are actually those who understand the code.
APRO is aimed at addressing this practical pain point: external data must be trustworthy enough for smart contracts to confidently make decisions based on it. It's not just about putting data on the blockchain, but rather solving the authenticity issues of the data itself. This is the invisible battlefield of blockchain infrastructure.

ngl, oracle problems are the real silent killer nobody talks about... seen too many liquidations that looked "fair" on-chain but the price feed was just straight up lying. that's the unglamorous stuff that actually breaks systems, not the tps flex wars everyone's obsessing over rn

Really, I've seen that trap with Oracle Machine data deceive people too many times.
A clean settlement result, but users end up Rekt, such awkward situations are not uncommon.
APRO's approach is actually quite good, the authenticity of data is more important than anything else.
To put it bluntly, the throughput is just superficial.
If the data is wrong, it's all in vain.

honestly, everyone sleeping on data integrity until their liquidation gets rekt by a bad oracle feed. then suddenly it's "but the code was correct!" lmao. this is exactly why apro's angle actually matters—not sexy like tps numbers, but way more critical when real money's on the line.

Well said, the Oracle Machine issue is indeed a hidden bomb, how many contracts have died because of this without anyone paying attention.
People always think about how to outpace the next one, but they don't realize that the vulnerabilities in the infrastructure have long been digging a pit.
The authenticity of data is indeed a bottleneck, APRO's approach is correct.
This is the real place that can determine life and death.
Compliance in clearing but with wrong data, users will indeed suffer losses.
It's even more ridiculous when random numbers in the game are manipulated, such things are extremely covert.
It's much more important than the throughput war; the fact that no one pays attention to this area is becoming increasingly dangerous.
