DeFi’s biggest challenge isn’t just secure data—it’s efficient data. Writing too much data to the blockchain wastes gas and clogs networks. APRO solves this with its $AT threshold-based data push model, sending updates only when they’re actually needed.
Smart Triggers: Volatility + Heartbeat
APRO’s decentralized operators use two key triggers:
1. Volatility Threshold (The Alarm)
Data is pushed only when an asset’s price moves beyond a set percentage (e.g., 0.5%). This prevents unnecessary gas spending during calm markets and ensures critical updates during volatility—perfect for liquidations and risk checks.
2. Heartbeat Interval (The Routine Check)
Even without volatility, APRO updates data at fixed intervals (like every 5–10 minutes). This prevents stale data and keeps the network verifiably active.
Why It Matters
APRO’s model delivers three major advantages:
Scalability: Fewer unnecessary writes reduce network congestion and gas costs.
Flexible Data Products: Supports advanced feeds like volatility indices, options settlement prices, and high-frequency off-chain signals.
Timely, Critical Updates: During sudden price moves, instant triggers protect collateral and prevent cascading liquidations.
Bottom Line
APRO’s threshold-based Push model is more than a technical upgrade—it’s an economic optimization that boosts security, lowers costs, and ensures real-time responsiveness when it counts.
This is the next evolution of resilient oracle design.
