Crypto founders don’t talk enough about operating costs.
Oracles can become one of the most expensive components of a protocol.
APRO’s dual model (Push + Pull) changed our cost structure completely.
We shifted from continuous updates to on-demand retrieval, reducing our oracle expenses by more than 35%.
That savings gave us runway we desperately needed.
It also changed how we designed smart contracts — instead of over-engineering constant feeds, we optimized usage patterns.
I don’t know if APRO intended this, but it indirectly taught us how to build smarter, more efficient systems.
For early-stage teams, runway matters more than hype.
APRO helped us survive longer — and build better.
