Oracles were, for a long time, backburnered in crypto. They are very important, though not necessarily simple. It was hard for the devs to cope with the complexity of the setup, the prices, and the infrastructure, which was not very lightweight. The change that APRO brings through the implementation of the Oracle-as-a-Service (OaaS) is subtle, though very important, since they transform oracles from the kind of thing you struggle to implement into the kind of thing you implement into your solution.
Essentially, what #APRO OaaS offers is removal of friction. Think about it: the developer no longer must consider how oracle infrastructure will work. The data feeds come in a clean form, like that of a software as a service. Pick what you want, subscribe to it, and build your product. Sounds easy, and believe it or not, in the world of cryptocurrency, simplicity rules.
What Makes this Important:
Prediction markets, gaming, DeFi platforms, or any kind of real-world asset platforms require good data that flows at an incredible speed while also being reliable. They can’t handle corrupted or late-updated data feeds. #APRO has vertically optimized its oracle solution – it specifically develops for those applications that require faster data or higher operational reliability, like prediction markets, instead of aiming to satisfy every possible use.
Reason for Importance:
Coming from DeFinition Labs, APRO had adequate background understanding of this area of data requirements, leaving reviewers of this project to wonder when this finally becomes functional. There clearly has to be demand for this for it to move forward,
The subscription service further alters the incentives structure. Builders will no longer think in terms of integration once or into undefined costs but will look ahead into the future. Long-range planning with a clear pricing policy will enable them to build without worries of unexpected costs cropping up, especially for startups where uncertainties regarding expenditures could mean the line between life or death. “APRO is not just a seller of data; they are a seller of stability.”
Another important benefit of APRO includes alignment with growth. As long as the developers succeed, the APRO system will succeed too. This makes way for better support and growth as if you are walking alongside the infrastructure instead of within the infrastructure of a tool.
APRO’s transformation into a SaaS oracle is a part of this movement within the crypto space. The crypto space is slowly inching its way towards a point where professional systems will replace the current experimental systems being used. With heavy capital pouring into the space, the bar has been raised. APRO OaaS is a great fit for this.
In the case of prediction markets, this has particular implications. These markets require accurate results and must be able to trust in settlement. A mistake under a global settlement system could lead to an irreparably damaging loss of integrity. APRO develops and provides optimized oracle feeds specifically for such use cases, adding integrity into a system at an early point.
Most importantly, APRO’s approach is very human. It recognizes that what developers want to build, not babysit, infrastructure. APRO helps simplify the complexities of oracle systems into a service, allowing teams to have the time, the confidence, and the freedom to innovate. In the end, APRO OaaS is not a simple upgrade. APRO OaaS is a paradigm shift. Data is no longer a problem to be solved technologically. Data is now a tool of growth. As the crypto industry evolves, a solution such as APRO OaaS will help shape what a new, decentralized application will look like.
