Talk about something that many people may not have noticed: November 28th, which is the second day after Binance's launch of $AT . @APRO-Oracle officially announced the integration of Arbitrum's RWA ecosystem. The timing is quite interesting; while others are hyping the Binance launch, they are quietly getting down to business.
Moreover, they made a bold move right away, directly serving over $300 million in real-world assets on Arbitrum, including BlackRock's BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton's BENJI, as well as RWA projects like OpenEden and Spiko. These names are not small players.
Let's first discuss why RWA projects need oracles like #APRO. Many people think RWA is just about moving real assets onto the chain, but the biggest pain point in actual operation is data verification.
For example, BlackRock's BUIDL fund is a tokenized U.S. Treasury product that requires daily updates of its net value. How does this net value get on-chain? You can't just have a smart contract grab data from Bloomberg terminals, right? Moreover, traditional financial data formats are all PDF reports, spreadsheets, and a lot of unstructured data that ordinary oracles cannot handle.
The solution to this problem is very direct. It has an AI ingestion layer specifically designed to handle such messy data formats, OCR to recognize PDF documents, NLP to understand text content, and then extract key data and convert it into a format that smart contracts can understand. This process sounds simple, but the technical content is actually quite high.
More importantly, it also provides a PoR mechanism, which is proof of reserves. This function is very important for RWA projects because tokens on-chain must correspond one-to-one with actual assets off-chain. If you issue $10 million worth of tokenized U.S. Treasuries, you must prove that there are indeed $10 million in Treasuries in the custodial account.
@APRO-Oracle's PoR is not the traditional way of auditing once a month, but can achieve real-time monitoring. It will track the changes in the custodial account balances and cross-chain verify asset flows. Once it detects that reserves are insufficient, it will immediately issue an alarm. This dynamic monitoring is essential for protecting investors' interests.
Let's talk about why we chose Arbitrum. It's actually very simple. Arbitrum is the most mature ecosystem among Ethereum L2s, consistently ranking in the top three for TVL, and its EVM compatibility is good. Many traditional financial institutions want to test on-chain assets, and Arbitrum is their first choice due to its low development threshold and guaranteed security.
#APRO provides comprehensive services on Arbitrum, not just simple price feeds. It supports both push and pull modes. The push mode is suitable for scenarios that require regular updates, such as updating fund net values every morning at 9 AM, where the system automatically pushes new data on-chain.
The pull mode is even more flexible. When users want to redeem tokenized assets, the smart contract can request the latest price data in real-time to ensure that the transaction price is fair. This delay can be controlled within 240 milliseconds, which is completely acceptable for high-net-worth clients.
Let's take a look at specific application scenarios. Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund is a money market fund that primarily invests in short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents. Its net value fluctuates very little, but it needs to $AT AT to provide stable and reliable daily net value feeding services.
OpenEden is a project that tokenizes U.S. Treasuries. Its characteristic is that the yield compounds daily, which requires the oracle to update the yield data once a day, and this data must be accurate because it directly affects the interest income of investors. @APRO-Oracle ensures that prices are not manipulated through the TVWAP mechanism, which is crucial for financial-grade applications.
What's even more interesting is that #APRO also supports these RWA projects to do more complex businesses, such as some projects wanting to do on-chain lending using tokenized U.S. Treasuries as collateral. This requires oracles to provide collateral rate monitoring, triggering liquidation when the value of the collateral falls below a certain level.
There are also some projects exploring RWA derivatives, such as options based on tokenized real estate. This requires oracles to provide property valuation data, rental income data, and even track local real estate market trends. This multi-dimensional data integration is a strong point.
From a technical perspective, @APRO-Oracle has deployed a complete oracle node network on Arbitrum, not just a simple cross-chain bridge. It has its own independent nodes running on Arbitrum, which ensures the timeliness and reliability of data.
In terms of security, it is also well done. It uses a multi-signature mechanism, and each data point requires confirmation from multiple independent nodes before it can be put on-chain. Moreover, these nodes have staked tokens. If they provide false data, they will be penalized. This economic incentive ensures that nodes have the motivation to provide accurate data.
What is more noteworthy is that the layout of #APRO on Arbitrum is not just to serve a few existing RWA projects. It is actually building infrastructure for the entire RWA ecosystem because more and more traditional assets will be tokenized. This is a deterministic trend.
Just think about it, what is the total market value of assets like real estate, bonds, equities, commodities, and artworks? If 1% of these are tokenized, that's a trillion-dollar market level. All these tokenized assets need reliable data feeding services. Whoever can establish a first-mover advantage in this track will be able to gain the most.
$AT Choosing to enter through Arbitrum is also very smart because traditional financial institutions are relatively familiar with the Ethereum ecosystem, and the regulatory environment is relatively clear. First, establish credibility and a user base here, and then expand to other chains. This strategy is much more stable than spreading out right from the start.
The quality of partners also reflects @APRO-Oracle's strength. BlackRock is the largest asset management company in the world, managing over $10 trillion in assets. It chose the BUIDL fund as its entry point into the crypto market, and #APRO can provide data services for this product, indicating that both technology and compliance have passed rigorous audits.
Franklin Templeton is also a century-old institution. It began exploring blockchain in 2019, and BENJI is its first fully on-chain operating fund. Being a data provider has also been well thought out.
This cooperation with traditional financial giants is a positive for the entire crypto industry because it proves that blockchain technology has matured enough to support real financial businesses, no longer just toys or experiments, but rather a foundation that can create actual value.
Of course, the RWA track is still in its early stages. Regulatory policies, technical standards, and market acceptance are still being improved, but the trend is already very clear. @APRO-Oracle is accumulating experience through practical operations on Arbitrum and establishing standards. When RWA truly erupts, it will have already occupied the most advantageous position @APRO Oracle .
