Blockchain technology is full of possibilities; however, most blockchains have limited view of the outside world (real-time). That's where APRO comes in as the first smart oracle layer enabling smart contracts to perceive and respond to external events.
APRO consists of a two-layered architecture (speed and trust) to handle the information flow:
Off-chain – Collecting information from trusted sources, filtering the noise, and forwarding the valuable information to AI.
AI Layer – Validates the collected information (through comparison of multiple datasets), and identifies anomalies/patterns/invalidity etc.
On-chain Layer – A group of validators use cryptography to verify the integrity of the information, before locking it into the blockchain, providing immutability.
This two-layer approach provides the necessary separation of duties to prevent either the off-chain or on-chain layers from being overwhelmed by the processing requirements of the task. Additionally, it prevents a single entity from manipulating the outcome of the validation process - especially critical when large amounts of money/assets are involved.
What sets APRO apart is its ability to deliver data to the blockchain using both push-based and pull-based architectures.
Data Push Architecture - Nodes are monitoring the source of information, and when changes occur, they will send the updated information to the blockchain based on a predetermined schedule. This type of architecture is particularly useful for decentralized finance (DeFi) applications that require continuous access to price feeds, such as yield farming applications that require price feeds on various cryptocurrencies/commodities across multiple blockchain platforms. Traders utilizing Binance and other platforms can automatically adjust positions to new market conditions, take advantage of new investment opportunities, and avoid sudden price movements with current pricing information.
Data Pull Model - Smart contracts request only the exact amount of data required, only when needed, thereby reducing costs. Within the context of gamefi, this allows smart contracts to receive real-time event results or randomly generate loot drops while maintaining fairness and transparency. Tokenizing real-world assets, data pull enables instant confirmation of ownership and/or current market prices to provide investors with the necessary confidence to rely on the system.
Another significant aspect of APRO is its multi-chain architecture allowing it to operate on many different blockchain networks, thus preventing data from becoming isolated within individual silos. Regardless if you're pushing price data into DeFi pools, tracking shipment status of asset backed tokens, etc., APRO allows all relevant stakeholders to connect to each other.
In addition to learning, the AI utilized by APRO continuously improves at identifying suspicious behavior/data as it learns from past experiences, thus improving security of the overall APRO network against emerging threats.
Stakeholders utilize AT tokens to run nodes, pledge to provide accurate data, and are compensated for doing so. Any node that fails to provide accurate data, whether due to error, malicious intent, or otherwise, loses a portion of their stake. Stakeholder accountability is maintained through this mechanism. In addition to node operators, users are able to purchase premium data services, participate in governance, and vote on future development decisions, ensuring that the direction of APRO aligns with community interests.
For developers/traders utilizing Binance, APRO provides the necessary tools to leverage data as an advantage. Through APRO's support of creative DeFi strategies, engaging GameFi features, and secure RWA solutions - all driven by accurate/trustworthy data.
Which feature(s) of APRO excite you the most? Is it APRO's AI enabled verification, the flexible Data Push/Pull models, or the fact that stakeholder accountability is maintained through the AT token staking mechanism? Let us know in the comments below.
