AT and why oracles are shifting from “price feeds” to behavioral infrastructure


Oracles used to be the boring part of Web3 — just data streams everyone took for granted. But watching APRO makes it clear that this role is changing. Oracles aren’t simply feeding prices anymore; they’re becoming systems that determine how applications interpret the world.
APRO doesn’t behave like a linear source of information. It works more like a logic layer — filtering inputs, verifying context, adapting to the needs of the protocol that uses it. And that matters, because the market has long outgrown the idea that “a price feed” is enough. Today, data is behavior. It defines risk. It shapes reactions.
An oracle that understands context stops being an accessory and becomes part of the foundation.
❓ So here’s the thought: will the next meaningful leap in Web3 come from smarter data layers rather than new chains or new tokens?
