The most powerful and also the most awkward aspect of smart contracts is that they execute according to rules—meticulously. However, these rules often rely on chaotic real-world data: price fluctuations, external events, legal records, which are not on-chain at all and lack strict guarantees. What’s the result? On-chain systems often fail due to these "dirty data."
APRO’s approach is different. It is not just another price data source but a crucial link in the entire tech stack—specifically handling the chaos of the real world, so on-chain systems no longer fail because of external data issues.
Simply put, APRO is like a data refinery. Raw data from exchanges, various registries, IoT sensors, goes in, gets processed and validated, and turns into trustworthy information that on-chain systems can truly rely on. This is the foundation of Web3 reliability.

That's very realistic. The Oracle problem is a dead end; once dirty data enters, the entire system is compromised.

This issue hits the nail on the head; dirty data is really a big pitfall.
The oracle problem can never be fully resolved; even with a new solution, it's still a gamble on whether its verification mechanism is reliable.
Data refinement sounds good, but who will supervise the black box of off-chain processing?
It sounds like a refinery, but in reality, it's still about playing with trust.
The reliability of Web3 depends on whether the data source itself is solid; no matter how many intermediate steps there are, this gap cannot be filled.

Basically, it's an oracle problem, and it's been a longstanding difficult issue.

That's right. Currently, the on-chain data is just a bunch of junk running around, and what’s fed into the contracts are unreliable information. From the perspective of APRO, they’ve identified the pain point, but the key still lies in execution. Data cleaning is easy to talk about but hard to do.

Basically, it's just an oracle problem with a different name. It looks like a thorough solution, but I still want to know how APRO's own data source ensures it won't have issues.
