I have chosen to focus here on a single aspect of the protocol: how the data is processed before being published on a blockchain. This is the most critical step of an oracle. It determines the reliability.
At APro, the flow follows a precise sequence. It all starts with off-chain collection. Sources can vary: marketplaces, financial institutions, specialized databases, or proprietary feeds. It's not what distinguishes APro, but the way in which this data is standardized even before being validated.
Once collected, the data undergoes an initial filtering designed to eliminate inconsistent elements. This sorting is not just a simple cleaning. It serves to establish acceptable ranges, consistency patterns, and rules that prevent abnormal variations that could be linked to manipulation or a bug.
Next comes cross-validation. Independent nodes compare their results. No node can validate a flow alone. The protocol expects a tight consensus among them. This mechanism creates essential redundancy: if one source or model is wrong, the others compensate for it.
APro includes an internal dispute system. A node can report a flow deemed incorrect. This signal triggers a second verification. If it turns out that the flow was indeed erroneous, the faulty node may lose part of its stake. This economic mechanism encourages validators to remain rigorous.
The final publication on the blockchain uses standardized contracts. These are what make the data accessible to applications. This process must be stable, predictable, and fast. APro will have to demonstrate that it can maintain this level of performance even when the number of flows or the frequency of updates increases.
This pipeline theoretically allows for the production of reliable data. The question is not the design but the protocol's ability to maintain this quality in real-world situations at scale.
