APRO did not make a splash into the blockchain world. No grand promises. No bombastic statements of re-inventing the whole thing in a night. It began with an older and more recalcitrant issue. Data. Blockchains are mighty mechanisms that are blind. They are able to code flawlessly and still lack familiarity with the real world. Prices, happenings, results, chance, everything has to have its origin elsewhere. Even the best smart contracts fail as that external data is incorrect, slow, and even manipulated. The majority of the protocol disasters are not caused by bad code. They are derived out of poor information.
That is what APRO is constructed to fill. In its simplest form, APRO is a decentralized oracle network, although that is barely a description. This is what makes it stand out as the way it takes data delivery seriously. APRO does not only support a data push model only, but also data pull. There are those applications that require real-time updates. Others just require information at exact a time. APRO does not impose any particular approach, instead of forcing one. Such flexibility improves resource wastage, cost reduction and avoidance of unneeded congestion in the network.
APRO also has a tradeoff between on-chain security and off-chain efficiency. Off-chain data processing, validation and on-chain verification can then be verified and consumed by smart contracts. This is a combination of the two methods that enable the network to scale without compromising on trust. It is a design decision that is based on frugality rather than expediency. The other basic feature is verifiable randomness. APRO does not consider it as an add-on.
APRO has a two-layer structure; this means that data collection and data delivery are separated, minimizing systemic risk. And backed by over forty blockchain networks and a massively broad variety of data types, including crypto prices as well as real-world assets, APRO is setting itself up to a future where blockchains are much more than crypto-native applications. APRO is not attempting to be a boring event It's trying to be dependable. And in systems where decentralization is involved, that can be the most useful role of all.
