In on-chain application development, what is the most painful cost? It's not the difficulty of coding, but the continuous loss of Gas fees with each data call. Especially when market fluctuations are intense and high-frequency updates of price information are needed, watching ETH being gradually consumed feels really uncomfortable.
But have you ever thought that, in many cases, that 80% of Gas consumption is actually wasted money? Does your application really need to push new data to the chain every second? This is the problem that the APRO data extraction solution aims to solve — it uses a brand-new "pull model" to revolutionize the traditional "push model."
The core idea is actually very simple: don't let data actively find you; instead, fetch it only when you need it. For example, it's like the difference between ordering takeout — one way is the delivery person bringing you food every 5 minutes (push model), and the other is you placing an order only when you're truly hungry (pull model). For most application scenarios, the latter is more efficient and costs less.
First of all, this is indeed a "Gas-saving weapon."
Traditional oracles push updates to the chain periodically to keep data always up-to-date, regardless of whether you actually need it at the moment. APRO's pull model allows your smart contract to only actively fetch the latest data at critical moments — such as when a user executes a transaction, performs liquidation, or the contract matures. The direct result is a significant reduction in on-chain transaction volume and Gas consumption. For high-activity DeFi protocols, this could mean saving dozens or even hundreds of ETH in operational costs each month. This is not just optimization; it's a complete upgrade of operational cost structure.
Second, you can control the frequency of data updates yourself.
Different application scenarios have vastly different requirements for data freshness. Some need real-time data, while others only need updates once an hour.

Sounds good, but the key is whether it will truly be implemented in real-world applications, as there are many lessons from history.

Wait, 80% wasted money? Why do I feel like my contracts are always burning money?
Really? Pull mode can save so much? Then my previous push strategy must have been a huge loss.
Honestly, I understand the delivery analogy now, but is APRO stable? Worried about crashes.
Save hundreds of ETH in a month? DeFi whales must be thrilled. Can our small project really use it?
Ah, finally someone wants to overhaul this crappy system. About time.
Wait, how is data freshness guaranteed? Could it cause chain congestion?
Pull mode sounds great, but the question is, is integration complicated? I’m too lazy to bother.

Eighty percent of the gas is wasted money; this statement is a bit extreme, but the money-saving logic is indeed convincing.
It's another pull-based mode savior, the phrasing is so familiar...
Saving hundreds of ETH per month sounds great, but how much you can actually save depends on your own degen level.
The oracle system really needs to be improved; its efficiency is too low.
The takeout analogy is pretty good, but dApps are not that simple.
Feels like another round of hype is coming; let's wait for real data to see.

Wow, finally someone is talking about this. Gas fees are really unbearable.
Saving dozens of ETH a month? That’s a lifesaver for small protocols.
Compared to those stupid designs that push every second, APRO’s pull model is definitely much smarter.
But the key still depends on how well it actually performs in practice—don’t let it turn into another PPT myth.
Why didn’t anyone think of this earlier? How much money has been wasted?
The push model is a trap set by those who pay; on-demand data retrieval is the right way.
