Opening family group chats gives me a headache. All kinds of marketing articles are everywhere—"Drink this water to live to 120"、"A certain coin will increase ten thousand times"—the elders keep flipping through and insist you follow the trend. Watching these, you realize how painful a single issue can be: in an age of information explosion, distinguishing truth from falsehood has become the most brain-consuming task.

In the world of cryptocurrency, the situation is even worse. Fake news runs rampant, and a single tweet can cut a coin’s price in half. This is not an exaggeration—it's especially obvious in prediction markets. When someone initiates a bet on whether a certain event will happen on-chain, who decides the final outcome? Manual voting is too inefficient and easily manipulated by hype. So what’s the solution?

That’s where oracles come in. There’s a new approach that’s particularly interesting: it uses AI to fetch authoritative information sources worldwide in real-time, performs cross-checks to ensure data quality. Only after multiple independent sources confirm does it push the result on-chain via data feeds. In other words, noise is filtered off-chain, and the truth is inscribed on the blockchain. Coupled with a verifiable randomness (VRF) mechanism, the entire decision-making process is both fair and resistant to prediction or manipulation.

The brilliance of this logic is that it not only solves data issues but also turns "information" itself into a tradable asset. Currently, such solutions cover over 40 types of assets. In a sense, this is exactly what Web3 aims to create—a more transparent, harder-to-fake information ecosystem.

The oracle gameplay is indeed excellent. Filtering noise off-chain and then uploading to the chain is much better than the chaotic family group chatter. The information warfare in the crypto world is too crazy. A single fake tweet can really cause a dump, and the prediction market is even more heavily affected. Now at least there's a logical fallback. It just depends on the specific implementation. AI data collection isn't万能, right? How to handle black swan events? Transforming information into assets is interesting. It essentially makes the true or false value visible, very Web3 logic. Family group marketing accounts will never win, but this kind of event prediction is indeed more reliable than manual voting. Decentralized arbitration should have been done this way long ago. The question is whether 40 types of assets coverage is enough. It always feels like the cold start will get stuck. Basically, it's about replacing trust with mechanisms. That's the right way. No need to keep watching people's faces and actions.

Damn, family group chats are really information hell, every day I have to look at the outrageous stuff the elders share. The crypto world is even more outrageous now, a single fake news can cause a wave of losses. This AI oracle idea isn't bad, at least it's more reliable than just relying on manual voting. On-chain data verification really needs multiple sources to confirm, otherwise it can still be manipulated. But the key is who defines what "authoritative information source" means, there's still a loophole there. The concept of trading information itself is interesting, but it also comes with high risks. Anyway, as I always say, no matter how much Web3 promotes transparency, the premise is that participants truly have judgment.

I really can't stand the waterworks in the family group chat, but honestly, the oracle part definitely needs some serious thought. --- Once again, the crypto price gets halved after a tweet, this issue needs to be addressed. --- The cross-referencing of sources in AI, sounds much more reliable than manual voting. --- Transforming information itself into an asset? Now that's what Web3 should be playing with. --- Filtering out noise off-chain and recording the truth on-chain—simple and straightforward, I like it. --- Covering 40 types of assets, this oracle has some real substance. --- With VRF support, manipulation is basically impossible; needs some in-depth research. --- Not to mention, it's definitely better than those "live to 120 years" nonsense in the elders' group chat. --- The noise filtering step trips up many projects; this solution is a good idea. --- Recording the truth on-chain sounds comfortable, but I’m not sure if the actual operation is reliable.

Alright, this set of logic确实有点东西，终于有人想到用AI过滤噪音了 Information trading... sounds very Web3, just not sure if in practice it will turn into a new tool for cutting leeks The family group part is too real, every time I have to hard-sell explaining why not to buy that coin Oracles are indeed a pain point, but I feel we still need to wait for the ecosystem to mature If this can really solve false information... then it's definitely worth looking forward to, but it's still too early to say I like the idea of noise filtering off-chain, it's definitely better than piling everything on-chain VRF+AI combo punch, that's interesting Tradeable assets... again financialization, the old problem—who guarantees that the data source itself isn't fake Honestly, it's still a trust issue, just a different shell

Oracles, to put it simply, are like "validators" for on-chain information, preventing a single fake tweet from causing a collapse... but the question is, who verifies the verifiers? This layer of nesting is a bit absurd.

yo fr though, the oracle play here is literally just meta-narrative arbitrage wrapped in technical jargon... sentiment algos picking winners before retail even loads the chart

Oracles, to put it simply, are about verifying on-chain data... but it still seems like manual confirmation is necessary. No matter how advanced AI gets, it's just helping with filtering.

Haha, the nonsense those elders pass on, my mom also bombards the group every day, there's no way to save it. The idea of an oracle is pretty good, much better than being cut in half by a fake news story. Can we really trust source cross-validation, or is it ultimately human manipulation? Web3 transparency? I don't think so... insiders still play tricks. If this could truly filter out noise, that would be impressive, but it feels no different from now. Asset tokenization sounds fancy, but it still depends on who holds the pricing power. 40 types of assets? Where do the data sources come from? Isn't this just another way to spread rumors? Some substance, but only if you trust those "authoritative information sources" not to fake. Family group marketing accounts and fake news in the crypto world are indeed like twin brothers. AI real-time scraping... algorithm bias would be disastrous, so who do we trust then? VRF sounds very secure, but in reality? Anyway, I still need to watch the market. In the end, everything is driven by interests. No matter how transparent the mechanism, someone still wants to get rich.
