Newcomers to blockchain are often captivated by decentralization and automation. They feel that putting things on the chain can make them worry-free. But after a while, they realize—blockchains actually know nothing.



What’s the price? Who won the race? What’s happening in reality? These are all black boxes for the chain. All data must be continuously fed from the human world.

That’s why oracles have been the most fragile yet indispensable part of the entire ecosystem since day one. Feed incorrect data, and the contract crashes on the spot; feed it too slowly, and the trading window slips away; feed fake data, and large positions could all be wiped out. Every step is a risk of bloodshed.

There’s a clear idea: rather than piling all the work onto the chain, it’s better to handle the dirty and tedious tasks off-chain. Data collection, cleaning, deduplication, and validation—these complex preprocessing steps—can be handled by AI to identify anomalies in text and images. Only the final clean results are written on-chain for stamping and proof of existence. This approach saves gas costs, reduces errors, and makes the architecture more stable.

In terms of data coverage, this kind of solution is indeed ambitious. It can handle not only token prices and lending rates but also real-world asset pricing, sports event data, and even AI model outputs. It connects thousands of data sources and runs on over forty chains including Ethereum, Solana, and Bitcoin ecosystems. Developers find it convenient—when data is needed, they can call it anytime or subscribe to push updates to contracts, all with just a line of code.

What’s most interesting is that it actually uses AI to do the work, not just hype. Detecting anomalies and blocking spam before it enters is a real application. Currently, it handles over 100,000 data requests per week, and it’s no longer just theoretical.

Off-chain preprocessing is really reliable, much better than piling everything on-chain. --- If the oracle really crashes, the entire ecosystem is doomed, there's nothing to say. --- They boast a lot about AI detecting abnormal data, but how long it can really hold remains to be seen. --- Over a hundred thousand requests per week? That data needs to be discounted. --- Doing dirty and tiring work off-chain is the way to go—saving gas and maintaining stability. That’s what smart architecture is. --- So, the real risk has never been in the chain itself, but in the people feeding the data. --- Running on more than forty chains is impressive in coverage, but is it reliable? --- The biggest fear is fake data being fed in, and positions disappearing in an instant. --- There are too many projects hyping AI concepts. Whether they are truly working or not is another matter. --- The oracle link is always a natural single point of failure, and there's no solution.

Oracles are like a ticking time bomb; we're all betting it won't explode. --- Processing data off-chain and then uploading it to the chain? That approach is definitely better than piling everything on-chain. --- Over 100,000 requests per week; that number sounds impressive, but how many can truly withstand large-scale liquidation? --- Ultimately, it's a trust issue. No matter how many data sources there are, you still have to watch out for foul play. --- I trust AI to detect anomalies; it's much more reliable than humans. We'll see if any new tricks pop up later. --- Running over forty chains—are they really aiming for a full-chain solution, or is that a bit of overambition? --- I've seen too many cases of fake data causing total crashes; no wonder oracles have always been the most dangerous part of the ecosystem. --- Instead of bragging about how awesome AI is, it's better to look at how many times it has actually prevented contract losses... --- I'm concerned about gas savings, but only if the data is truly clean; otherwise, the gas saved might just be lost in the process. --- Blockchains don't really know anything; that's a pretty clear statement. Do people still think that just uploading data will automatically generate profits?

Oracles are the lifeblood of this ecosystem; a single data error can lead to total failure. Off-chain processing + AI filtering is indeed clever, saving gas and maintaining stability. Over 100,000 requests per week? It's already moving from concept to practical application, quite interesting. With such broad data source coverage, I'm just worried that a certain link might cause issues again. Rather than trusting the chain, it's better to trust the people feeding the data—ironic, isn't it? Calling data with a single line of code sounds great, but who will bear the bug's responsibility? Dirty work should be done off-chain; piling everything on the chain is not the way. On-chain real-world assets are still a bit uncertain; how does this plan ensure the data sources themselves aren't falsified? It's a good idea; the key is whether the execution and risk control are done well.

Oracles are truly the key to the entire ecosystem; a single data error can cause a massive explosion. The approach of off-chain processing + AI recognition is indeed brilliant. Finally, someone has figured it out. Over 100,000 requests per week—this volume of data is no joke. It seems they are really getting things done. Uh, but the problem is, who guarantees that the off-chain folks won't mess around? The risk of centralization is just masked under a different guise. If this system truly becomes stable, the competitive landscape of oracles will be reshuffled. Honestly, I believe in this approach much more than those projects that are purely on-chain.

Oracles are just centralized Trojan horses, what are they even saying? Handling data off-chain is still a trust issue; in the end, it's all about betting on a certain team. This wave of AI detecting abnormal data is indeed impressive, but who will supervise the AI itself? It's a classic case of nested issues. Feeding false data to blow up positions—what to do when the data source itself is problematic? Trust remains unavoidable. They're right, but the fundamental contradiction hasn't been solved—decentralization ultimately still requires trusting a certain central entity. Over 100,000 requests sound like a lot, but would real big funds use this? No confidence in it.

Oracles are the Achilles' heel of the entire DeFi ecosystem; at the end of the day, it still comes down to trusting people. I accept the approach of processing data off-chain and then sealing it on-chain. --- Stuck on the link in the data chain, no matter how brilliant the smart contract, it's useless. Think it through carefully. --- A request volume of over 100,000 per week sounds realistic, unlike most projects that hype it up. --- Honestly, AI detection of abnormal data is much more reliable than manual review, saving gas and worry. --- Doing the dirty work off-chain and sealing it on-chain—this logic is more practical than everything being on-chain. Finally, someone understands. --- The more data sources, the greater the risk; covering over forty chains might actually create new attack surfaces. --- Over 100,000 requests per week are nothing to worry about, but the real concern is if the data sources get compromised, everything will be ruined. --- Finally, someone dares to say that the chain is actually blind. If the oracle problem isn't solved, DeFi will always be a casino.

Oracles are the lifeblood of this ecosystem; feed incorrect data and a contract is gone. Off-chain preprocessing is indeed a brilliant move, saving gas and providing stability, much better than piling everything on-chain. This is the real solution, not just a pure PPT project. With such extensive data source coverage and multi-chain deployment, it's quite hardcore. I think the AI anomaly detection part is the highlight; over 100,000 requests per week is no small number. By the way, if this方案 can truly operate stably, the competitive landscape for oracles will have to change.

Oracles are just another way of saying centralized, same old story with a different name. No matter how much processing is done off-chain, ultimately you still have to trust a certain entity. That logic doesn't hold up. Over a hundred thousand requests sound impressive, but when real trouble hits, it won't save the day. AI anomaly detection? Ha, the next black swan is just waiting to prove it wrong. It still feels like the old tricks—shifting the risk onto developers and users. These kinds of solutions become popular quickly, but fade just as fast. Anyway, I'm just watching from the sidelines.
