On-chain applications can run stably and reliably, ultimately relying on what? The credibility of data sources.
Oracles may seem like behind-the-scenes supporting roles, but in fact they control the lifeblood of the entire ecosystem—pricing authority, settlement mechanisms, risk management, and automated trading execution—all of which depend on this. The more solid the data, the clearer the risk boundaries, and the more controllable systemic risks become. Only then can DeFi applications confidently expand complex logic, and funds are willing to stay long-term to accumulate strategies.
Now, as more applications emerge within the ecosystem and financial structures advance layer by layer, the value of data infrastructure begins to be amplified. Filling the data gap essentially opens up the ceiling for the entire ecosystem. Those oracle layers that can withstand pressure amid intense volatility and ensure data accuracy are truly worthy of long-term trust and continuous investment.

Oracles are truly underestimated. Once the data issues arise, the entire ecosystem is doomed.
To put it simply, it's a trust issue. Without reliable price sources, DeFi is meaningless.
Only those that can stabilize data amidst such volatility are the real infrastructure; everything else is just a facade.

That's right, oracles are indeed seriously underestimated... People only pay attention when something really goes wrong.

Oracles are indeed the most overlooked yet most critical component; once they fail, the entire ecosystem is doomed.
