Comparing Bitcoin to a deep mountain might be a bit of a cliché, but it is indeed silent and steady. The real hustle and bustle are the rise of second-layer networks and the Bitcoin financial ecosystem at the foot of the mountain—cities rising from the ground.

For a city to operate normally, a solid foundation alone is not enough; it requires precise timing systems and weather monitoring. By 2025, when the Bitcoin ecosystem fully erupts, the role of oracles will become especially critical. They are like lighthouses, piercing through the fog with data, connecting the real world and the on-chain universe.

Why is the oracle track inseparable from time? Because trust here is not built by stacking code, but verified gradually over time. Oracles are essentially trust carriers—this analogy may seem simple, but it reveals the core pain point of the entire industry.

The mature oracle solutions within the EVM ecosystem have been running for years, and everyone is used to them. But as the trillion-dollar liquidity within the Bitcoin ecosystem begins to awaken, the problem becomes apparent: Bitcoin’s UTXO architecture and traditional oracle logic have a natural "communication barrier." This is no small issue. Developers need an intermediary layer that can translate between these two systems—understanding off-chain data fluctuations while accurately converting them into Bitcoin’s native logic, feeding into each lending protocol and DEX.

From a technical perspective, true competitiveness comes from decentralized verification networks. This is where oracles can differentiate themselves. By 2025, this advantage will become even more evident—simply following technological trends is no longer enough; what is needed is innovation in underlying architecture.
