I have been more interested in oracles after seeing protocols fail because of bad data, not bad code.
I was interested in APRO since it does not impose everything into a single approach. They operate Data Push and Data Pull. Certain applications require regular updates. Data is only required when elicited by others. It turns out that flexibility is important to real usage.
The two layer system is reasonable also. Fast off chain processing. Security validation by chain. Fast where it needs to be fast. Safe where it will be safe. The lack of that balance is a characteristic of most projects.
Another intelligent touch is AI driven verification. Not AI to hype but to verify the quality of the data prior to its live release. Verifiable randomness, also of gaming and real world assets.
APRO is not only about crypto prices. Stocks. Real estate. Gaming data. Several resources in more than 40 chains. They are not merely considering DeFi traders.
Oracles become noticed when they fail. Good ones are hidden when things are running a bull but become of utmost importance when volatility strikes. That is the sort of infrastructure that APRO is.
Boring infrastructure tends to scale the fastest.
