Recently spent some time going through the APRO (AT) project from start to finish, simply organizing it for everyone as a piece of information for reference.
APRO essentially focuses on being an oracle, but its entry point is somewhat different from traditional oracles we are familiar with. Most oracles address the question of 'where does the price come from,' while APRO aims to solve:
When on-chain applications begin to deal with complex real-world information, who judges whether this data is trustworthy and valid?
Their idea is to introduce AI capabilities into the oracle network. They not only provide structured price data but also attempt to handle unstructured information such as documents, reports, and real-world events, and through a multi-layer verification mechanism, synchronize the results to the chain for contract use.
This is also why APRO is often discussed alongside RWA (Real World Assets).
If in the future assets, bonds, certificates, and compliance documents need to go on-chain, the real challenge is not the 'on-chain' itself, but:
How these real-world data can be understood and trusted by the on-chain system.
From this perspective, the combination of AI + Oracle makes sense.
In terms of progress, APRO has already launched on Binance spot trading, and previously allowed many users to engage with AT through HODLer airdrops, marking this step as officially bringing the project into mainstream view. Of course, there are established projects like Chainlink in the field, but APRO is taking a differentiated route, emphasizing AI processing capabilities and RWA scenarios.
The token AT's positioning is quite clear, primarily used for node staking, data verification incentives, and governance, overall leaning towards an infrastructure-type project design rather than merely a narrative coin.
Personally, I focus on two points regarding such projects:
First, whether there will be real on-chain applications and collaborations in the future, rather than just remaining at the conceptual stage;
Second, whether RWA-related scenarios can gradually emerge. If this line truly starts, the value of such oracles may be re-evaluated.
What do you think about the direction of AI oracles?
