#数字资产生态回暖 【The Next Battlefield for Oracles: From Price Data to On-Chain Trusted Infrastructure】

A question has been bothering me: as blockchain extends from trading cryptocurrencies to real-world assets and AI decision-making, how can we ensure that on-chain data is truly reliable?

To be honest, traditional oracle models are a bit out of sync. They specialize in feeding price data and bringing market information onto the chain — which is correct — but the current demands have changed. How to bring non-standard assets like bonds, carbon credits, and bills onto the chain? AI contracts require not only prices but also complex event verification logic. This is the real bottleneck.

What should the next-generation oracles look like? My understanding involves three directions:

**First, deep adaptation to real-world assets.** RWA has been popular for a long time, but data validation remains a weak point. There’s a need for designing specialized validation templates and multi-layer review mechanisms for bonds, supply chain information, energy data, and more, to ensure off-chain asset information is authentic and compliant, capable of withstanding scrutiny. This isn’t just simple data transfer; it’s about information reconstruction and certification.

**Second, supporting AI decision layers.** For on-chain AI applications to take off, a trustworthy data foundation is essential. Oracles need to integrate more advanced data processing capabilities—not just reading numbers but also handling complex logical judgments and event result confirmations. Prediction markets, on-chain gaming, social applications all require this capability.

**Third, flexibility and scalability.** Modular design is key — from basic price feeds, event-driven mechanisms, to off-chain computation, oracles must be able to be combined freely to meet diversified application needs. Only then can they truly become infrastructure.

At this point, governance and incentives come into play. Blockchain tokens themselves should carry these new dimensions of value: Who has voting rights to decide which asset classes to prioritize? Who benefits from the expanded validation fees? How are these rights and rewards distributed among participants? What are the entry barriers for advanced data services?

The value paradigm of blockchain is indeed shifting. From simple asset trading to multi-dimensional expansion into RWA, AI, gaming, and social applications, each step requires stronger data infrastructure support.

I especially want to hear everyone’s thoughts: **In the fields of RWA, AI, gaming, or social, which do you think will first develop a strong demand for this kind of "next-generation oracle," potentially leading to an explosion?** Or do you think all four will grow simultaneously without a clear priority?
